Royal Palm Beach homes and what they ask of a mason

Royal Palm Beach is a family-oriented village in west-central Palm Beach County, right beside us in Wellington. On our jobs here we mostly meet single-family block homes finished in stucco, with paver driveways, pool decks and garden walls, and most calls start with a homeowner who's spotted a crack or has a new wall, driveway or walkway in mind. The houses are a lot like the ones we work on in The Acreage, though lots here usually sit closer together, so we plan how our crew will get block and pavers into a backyard before the job starts.

Water shapes the work here more than anything else. The long-term record for nearby West Palm Beach puts rain at about 62 inches a year, with June, August and September each bringing more than 8 inches, so we plan mortar work and paver bases around the wet months and look first at where your roof, gutters and sprinklers send water.

Masonry work we do in Royal Palm Beach

Foundation repair
When a crack runs along the slab edge or up a block wall, we find what moved first and fix that before we patch anything.
Explore service
Chimney repair
A chimney takes rain from every side, so we start at the crown, the concrete cap on top, then rebuild loose brick and joints.
Explore service
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing means grinding out worn mortar joints and packing in fresh mortar. We redo only the failed joints, matched in color, and leave sound ones alone.
Explore service
Brick repair
Cracked or flaking bricks usually sit near a downspout or sprinkler head. We cut out just those and set matching brick so the wall still reads as one.
Explore service
Driveway pavers
Pavers stay flat on a well-packed base, so we dig out, compact in layers and slope the drive so summer rain runs off toward the street.
Explore service
Retaining wall construction
For a raised planter or a pool deck edge, we size the footing to the wall's height and leave drainage behind it so trapped water has a way out.
Explore service
Masonry restoration
Older brick and block that's stained, cracked or patched over the years can be brought back. We clean it gently, repair what's failed and match the original look.
Explore service
Fireplace installation
If you want a fireplace for a patio or family room, we build the firebox, hearth and surround in masonry and set any insert to its maker's instructions.
Explore service
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin stone face set over block, often on columns and entry walls. We plan the backing and drainage first, since trapped water loosens it.
Explore service
Concrete block walls
For a privacy or garden wall, we pour a footing, lay block with steel and grout in the cells, then finish it in stucco to match the house.
Explore service
Foundation block wall installation
Foundation block walls carry the house, so we set them on a sized footing, keep each row level and leave openings for plumbing where the plans show them.
Explore service
Outdoor kitchen masonry
An outdoor kitchen sits in sun and summer storms, so we build it in block, face it in stone or brick and slope the top to shed water.
Explore service
Walkway construction
For a front walk or pool path, we lay pavers, brick or stone on a firm base with a slight pitch, so water runs off after a storm.
Explore service
Brick wall installation
If you'd like a brick garden wall, mailbox column or entry pier, we build it on a proper footing and pick brick and mortar to match your house.
Explore service
Stone masonry
We lay natural stone for walls, steps and borders, fitting each piece by hand, so the plan turns on the stone you pick and the joint width.
Explore service
Brick pointing
Pointing is the lighter fix for joints that are just starting to wear. We rake out the surface of each joint and refill it before rain works deeper.

Permits, licenses and planning a masonry job in Royal Palm Beach

The Village of Royal Palm Beach issues building permits for most work done here through its Building Department, which reviews plans, does the inspections and enforces the Florida Building Code, so your start date waits on the permit and the job pauses at each inspection. Before you hire anyone, ask to see their state license and their Village Local Business Tax Receipt, which every business needs to work in the Village, including ones based outside it. When your job calls for a permit, we apply for it, set up the inspections and go over all of it with you at the estimate.

The price moves with how much wall or paving is involved, how much damage turns up once we open things up, how closely we have to match your existing brick, block or pavers, and whether the permit needs plans or a survey. The schedule turns mostly on the permit and the weather. I walk the job with you and write the estimate myself, so you'll have your own figure and a plain explanation of it, the same way we work in West Palm Beach and Greenacres.

We count the permit into the start date from the day you say yes, because the work waits on it.
Our crew plans each stage around the inspections, so the inspector sees the work before anything gets covered.
In the wet months we cover fresh mortar and hold off when a storm's building, since rain washes out joints before they set.
On stucco block homes we plan the stucco and paint patch along with the repair, so the fix doesn't stand out.
We check where sprinklers, gutters and downspouts throw water, because a wall that stays wet is usually where stains and flaking start.

Questions Royal Palm Beach homeowners ask us

Does masonry work in Royal Palm Beach need a permit?

Usually yes, because most work done in the Village goes through a building permit, and I'll tell you at the estimate whether yours does. You can also ask the Village's building office at (561) 790-5128 or check the permit requirements on the Village site, which the Village says is still a work in progress, so call if a form seems missing. If you'd rather pull the permit yourself as an owner-builder, the Village requires a notarized Owner/Builder Affidavit with the application.

What does a contractor need to register with the Village of Royal Palm Beach?

A contractor based in Palm Beach County shows a state license or a County Competency Card, and one based outside the county shows a state license plus a business tax receipt from its home county. Their liability insurance and workers' compensation, or an exemption, also have to list the Village as certificate holder. A business tax receipt on its own doesn't regulate a business or vouch for its work, so ask about the job itself too.

Where can I see the flood zone map for Royal Palm Beach?

The Village's maps page has a web map of flood zones for the Village, effective October 5, 2017. It's worth a look before a new driveway, walkway or wall, and I'm glad to go over it with you at the estimate, since where your lot sits helps us plan the slope and drainage.
