Palm Beach County

Intracoastal estates and barrier-island exposure.

Palm Beach County 170 mph design winds along the coast (HVHZ-equivalent)

From the Intracoastal Waterway estates in east Boca Raton to the barrier-island homes on Palm Beach itself, this stretch of coast takes a direct hit from nearly every Atlantic storm that turns north. The 2004 one-two punch of Frances and Jeanne, followed by Wilma in 2005 and Matthew's close call in 2016, taught Palm Beach County homeowners that proximity to the water doubles the urgency for properly rated protection — and that the wrong product on a $5M Delray waterfront home can void the wind mitigation discount that paid for the project.

The contractors serving Palm Beach County understand the architectural review process inside The Sanctuary, Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Admirals Cove, and Frenchman's Reserve — places where a visible shutter housing can mean an HOA fine. They also know how to detail roll-downs on Mizner-era homes in El Cid and Old Northwood without damaging stucco that was hand-troweled in 1925, and they're familiar with the Town of Palm Beach Landmarks Preservation Commission process. Expect them to be fluent in the Palm Beach County Amendment to the Florida Building Code, comfortable working with Town of Highland Beach and Town of Manalapan permitting, and willing to coordinate directly with your insurance carrier on the OIR-B1-1802 paperwork.
