Westgate, from the houses we work on

Westgate is one of the older parts of the county, close to West Palm Beach and Palm Springs, and the county says some of its first developments go back to the 1920s. When we come out here, it's usually a smaller house on a modest lot, often concrete block finished in stucco, with businesses along the bigger roads and newer houses filling in between the old ones.

That age shows in the masonry. We tend to find worn joints, old patch jobs in mortar that doesn't match, and walks and drives that have cracked over the years, so a lot of our work here is repair that blends with what's already there instead of tearing it out.

What we do on Westgate homes

What to know before work starts in Westgate

Westgate isn't a city of its own. It's part of unincorporated Palm Beach County, so any building permit your job needs comes from the county's Permit Center, and that permit and its inspections set part of the schedule. Before you hire anyone, ask for their state contractor license and their county business tax receipt, since every business selling services in the county has to carry the receipt, though it doesn't regulate the business or vouch for the work. We're licensed and insured, satisfaction guaranteed on every job, and when a job calls for a permit we apply for it and set up the inspections. The price moves with how much is really damaged, the size of what you're building, the brick, block or stone you choose and whether a permit is involved, and I'll go over all of it when I come out and write your estimate myself.

The Westgate redevelopment district runs from Okeechobee Blvd. south to Belvedere Road, between N. Military Trail and N. Florida Mango Road, and it's county ground the whole way, so the same county rules apply on every street inside it. Those edges are busy roads, so we sort out deliveries and parking before the crew shows up. We do this same work all around Wellington and as far out as Boca Raton, and Westgate gets the same crew and the same care.

  • State law requires a permit valued over $5,000 to have a Notice of Commencement recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court before the first inspection, so I'll tell you at the estimate if your job crosses that line.
  • The county treats all of Palm Beach County as a flood hazard area, and its Building Division now wants a Flood Legend with permit applications for new construction and substantial improvements.
  • Work the county doesn't permit still has to meet minimum code standards, so we build it the same way with or without a permit.
  • Older homes here often carry earlier repairs in mismatched mortar, so we match the color and strength of what's there instead of patching over it.
  • Lots here are often tight, so we plan where the mixer, pallets and debris go before the first day, to keep your driveway and the street clear.

Westgate questions we hear about permits

Do I need a county permit for masonry work in Westgate?

Any permit your masonry job needs comes from the Palm Beach County Permit Center, because the county issues building permits for most construction work in unincorporated areas like Westgate. Some work needs only a zoning review, and work that needs no permit still has to meet minimum code standards. For work not on the county's no-permit list, an older county brochure points owners to the Permit Center Help Desk at 561-233-5120, and I'll go over your job's permit with you at the estimate.

Does Florida House Bill 803 change permit rules in Westgate?

No, the county says permit requirements in Palm Beach County stay as they were. The law exempts certain work under $7,500 on single-family homes, but it leaves out flood hazard areas, and the county counts all of Palm Beach County as one.

How do I know if my Westgate home is in unincorporated Palm Beach County?

Check the first two numbers of your property's parcel control number, and if they're 00, the home is in unincorporated Palm Beach County and county rules apply. The Westgate district described above is all unincorporated county.

Does my contractor have to register their state license with Palm Beach County?

Yes, a state-licensed contractor has to enroll that license with the county before applying for permits in unincorporated Palm Beach County, which includes Westgate. That's the contractor's step to take, not yours.
