I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this. I’m absolutely in love with my new kitchen! The team was professional, easy to work with, and really listened to what I wanted. Everything came out even better than I imagined, and the quality is amazing you can tell they really care about their work. They stayed on schedule and made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which means a lot during a remodel. I’m so happy I chose them. Highly recommend!

Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Raton FL — Bathroom, Whole-Home & ARB-Managed Country-Club Communities
Boca Raton renovations don't follow standard rules. Country-club communities like Royal Palm Yacht Club, Broken Sound, and Boca West require architectural review approval before permitting. A1A oceanfront condos navigate coastal DEP regulations. Inland single-family homes from the 1980s–2000s are hitting renovation age — all at once. We handle the complexity: full kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, and additions across all property types. ARB packets, city permits, coastal compliance — one licensed team manages everything so your project doesn't stall. Most contractors take weeks to quote. We can walk your property today. Free estimates, no trip fees, same-day site visits available.

View More ReviewsBoca Raton Runs Its Own Building Division
Boca Raton is incorporated and runs its own building department through the city's Development Services / Building Division at 201 W Palmetto Park Rd. Permits for residential renovations inside city limits go through Boca, not through Palm Beach County PZB. (Unincorporated west Boca, including Sandalfoot Cove, does route through PBC PZB — that's a separate jurisdiction.) Plan review runs against the Florida Building Code 8th Edition and the city's zoning code. A clean interior kitchen or bathroom remodel application — full scope of work, contractor information, certificate of insurance, and architectural drawings if structural — typically clears initial city review in 2–4 weeks. Most of Boca's Tier 03–04 single-family stock sits inside named gated communities that layer architectural review onto the city permit: Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, St. Andrews Country Club, Broken Sound, Boca West, Woodfield Country Club, Boca Pointe, The Polo Club, and The Oaks each run their own ARB or modification-committee process. When scope touches exterior envelope, paint colors, landscape, hardscape, or any addition, ARB approval is a parallel process to the city permit — we coordinate both submittals so the clocks run together. Boca's character traces back to Addison Mizner's 1925 Mediterranean Revival original development, and the aesthetic — barrel-tile roofs, smooth stucco, arched openings, courtyard plans — still shapes ARB review in heritage-aware communities. On the East Boca oceanfront strip along A1A / N Ocean Blvd, the Florida DEP Coastal Construction Control Line layers additional review on top of the city permit when work crosses the CCCL. Boca is **not** in the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — Miami-Dade NOA documentation is not the operative standard here. FBC 8th Edition Wind-Borne Debris Region is.

Property types we work in across Boca Raton
The Boca Raton housing stock breaks into four operational categories, and the remodel approach differs for each.
Inland single-family inside named gated communities.
Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, St. Andrews Country Club, Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, Boca Pointe, The Polo Club, The Oaks, Long Lake Estates. The dominant Tier 03–04 segment by volume of renovation activity. Two-layer approval — city permit plus community ARB or modification committee — and a finish ladder that runs custom cabinetry, slab quartzite or natural stone, panel-front integrated refrigeration, and freestanding tubs in primary baths.
Coastal high-rise condo on the A1A oceanfront strip.
Tier 03–04 buyer pool. Stacked-condo waterproofing discipline applies on bathroom rebuilds. Freight-elevator scheduling, building hours-of-work windows, and slab-penetration policies factor into the project plan from week one. Envelope work on the building exterior involves CCCL oversight on top of the city permit when scope crosses the line.
Old Boca and Mizner-heritage single-family.
Old Floresta, central Boca historic blocks, the older Royal Palm Yacht Club residential streets, and the tear-down-and-rebuild corridor near downtown. Mediterranean Revival architectural cues — arched openings, barrel tile, plaster finishes, courtyard plans — guide period-sensitive remodels that read coherent with the original architecture. Resale rewards the discipline.
Suburban single-family outside gated communities.
East Boca canal-front blocks, central Boca single-family streets, and inland subdivisions that don't sit inside an ARB-managed community. Tier 02–03 buyer pool. The volume base of Boca's kitchen and bathroom remodel demand. Standard residential permit through the City Building Division, no ARB layer.
What you won't find inside Boca that you'd find on the Broward coast: HVHZ-zone permitting, Miami-Dade NOA documentation, or unincorporated-county jurisdiction inside city limits. Boca is Palm Beach County, FBC 8th Edition WBDR, and runs its own building department. Our scope reads differently from our Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, or Sandalfoot Cove city pages — same general contractor team, different operational reality.
City Permits + ARB Coordination
City of Boca Raton Development Services permits and the named-community ARB packet move in parallel from week one. Interior kitchen and bathroom scope typically only needs city permitting. Exterior or envelope work needs the city permit plus community ARB approval as a parallel process — we handle both submittals so the clocks run together.
WBDR (FBC 8th Edition) — Not Miami-Dade HVHZ
Boca sits in Palm Beach County's Wind-Borne Debris Region, not Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Window and exterior door replacements use products documenting WBDR compliance under Florida Building Code 8th Edition. A contractor quoting Miami-Dade NOA on a Boca scope is solving the wrong problem.
Six-Phase Process Under One License
Single point of accountability — preconstruction planning, permit management through the City Building Division, ARB submittals where the community requires them, coordination of all licensed specialty trades, weekly written status, and a written 1–2 year labor warranty handed over at the final walkthrough.
What we do, and what we don't
We handle full remodels and new construction only. Five scope bands across Boca: full kitchen remodel (gut + rebuild, 4-tier pricing $20K–$300K+), full bathroom remodel (gut + rebuild, 4-tier pricing $8K–$130K+), full home renovation (whole-home gut, multi-room remodel, condo gut, $200K–$1.5M+), home additions (room addition, second-story, garage conversion, ADU), and custom new construction. We don't take on partial cosmetic refreshes, single-fixture replacements, vanity-only swaps, drywall repair, exterior painting standalone, screen-enclosure work, gutter cleaning, or any single-trade handyman scope. If you want a contractor in Boca Raton who can handle a full project from demo through final inspection, we're built for that. If you want a faucet swap, we're not the right fit and we'll say so on the phone before anyone drives out.
Service Bands in Boca Raton

Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodeling in Boca Raton concentrates in two scope shapes: gated-community single-family kitchen rebuilds (the most-requested project across Boca West, Broken Sound, St. Andrews, and Royal Palm Yacht Club) and A1A oceanfront condo kitchen rebuilds. The country-club side typically involves taking down a non-load-bearing wall between the kitchen and breakfast or great room, replacing the entire cabinet run with custom or semi-custom box, slab-front quartzite or natural-stone countertops on a waterfall island, a panel-front integrated refrigeration unit, professional-grade range, and a layered lighting package. The full kitchen remodeling boca raton fl ladder is detailed in our kitchen remodeling tentpole — most Boca gated-community kitchens land Tier 03 and most Royal Palm Yacht Club or Boca West kitchens land Tier 04. Florida CGC license GCG1524886 covers every kitchen remodel boca raton scope across the city.
Kitchen tier ladder →
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom remodeling in Boca Raton centers on the primary-bath spa rebuild. The standard scope on a Tier 03–04 Boca primary bath: full demolition of the existing fixtures and tile, relocation of toilet stack within the original wet-wall envelope where possible, a zero-entry curbless walk-in shower with frameless glass and linear drain, freestanding soaking tub with floor-mounted matte-black filler, double floating vanity with stone slab counter, heated tile floor, and large-format porcelain or natural-stone tile. Secondary baths run leaner — single vanity, glass-enclosed shower or tub-shower, large-format tile, updated fixtures. The bathroom renovation boca raton register on higher-tier scope appeals to clients who hire on word-of-mouth and demand spa-level finish. See the full bathroom remodeling scope and the bathroom remodel boca raton fl cost breakdown for tier-by-tier pricing.
Bathroom tier ladder →
Whole-Home Renovation
Whole-home gut, multi-room remodel, and full condo gut work runs $150–$400 per square foot in Boca, with most projects landing $200K–$1.5M+ depending on scope and finish tier. Home remodeling boca raton projects on gated-community single-family stock typically pair a kitchen rebuild with a primary-bath gut, secondary-bath refresh, full interior repaint, flooring refinish or replacement, and envelope work where the existing aluminum sliders or single-pane windows are at end of useful life. On whole-home scopes the FEMA substantial-improvement math gets reviewed at the budget stage if the property is in AE or VE. The home remodeling boca raton fl scope and timeline live on our home remodeling parent page.
Home remodeling scope →
Home Additions
Room additions, second-story additions, garage conversions, and accessory dwelling units. Most Boca additions are second-floor expansions on existing single-family footprints or first-floor primary-suite additions on country-club homes that need a fifth bedroom or a dedicated home office. ARB approval is a parallel process inside gated communities. Stamped structural engineering plans are part of the permit submittal. See home additions for scope detail.
Additions scope →
New Construction
Custom home building and ground-up residential on Boca lots. Most Boca new-construction projects are tear-down-and-rebuild on heritage lots in the older Boca neighborhoods, or new builds in the inland gated communities where the original 1980s–1990s footprint no longer fits modern household scale. New construction in Boca follows the city's permit and zoning code, plus ARB review where applicable. See new construction for the build process.
New construction scope →
General Contractor
A general contractor in boca raton florida — or a general contractor boca raton owners hire across any of these five bands — should be able to handle the ARB-and-city dual track on gated-community work, the CCCL math on A1A scopes, and the FEMA SI threshold on coastal whole-home scopes. We do. Single point of accountability across every project: preconstruction planning, permit management through the City Building Division, ARB submittals where required, coordination of all licensed specialty trades, weekly written status, change-order documentation, and a written 1–2 year labor warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Boca Raton homeowners ask before hiring a remodeler. Conversion-stage answers first, Boca-specific expertise below.
Do you charge for the consultation or site visit in Boca Raton?
No. Free quote, no trip fee. We come to your Boca Raton property, walk the scope with you, ask the questions that drive accurate pricing, and follow up with a written estimate. There is no obligation and no pressure.
How fast can you come out for a site visit in Boca Raton?
Most Boca Raton projects get a site visit scheduled within 3–5 business days. Same-day appointments are sometimes available depending on calendar. This refers to the appointment, not the remodel itself; the remodel runs weeks to months depending on scope.
What does your warranty cover?
Every project comes with a written labor warranty, 1–2 years depending on scope, spelled out in the contract before signing. Cabinetry, fixtures, stone, flooring, and waterproofing systems carry their respective manufacturer warranties on top of our installation warranty. The warranty document is part of the final walkthrough handoff.
How do I verify your license and permit history before signing a Boca Raton remodel contract?
Florida CGC license GCG1524886 is verifiable at MyFloridaLicense.com. Search by license number and the active status, board, and expiration date come up. Permit history is public on BuildZoom and on the City of Boca Raton permit search. We invite verification before signing. That's how a real general contractor in boca raton florida relationship starts.
How long does a permit take in Boca Raton?
The City of Boca Raton Development Services / Building Division handles plan review in-house. A complete application for a straightforward interior kitchen or bathroom remodel — full scope of work, contractor information, certificate of insurance, architectural drawings if any structural element is in scope — typically clears initial review in 2–4 weeks. Revisions reset the cycle, so a clean first submittal matters. Projects involving structural alteration, change of use, or envelope work on a coastal property run longer because additional reviewers (structural, sometimes Florida DEP for CCCL-crossing scopes) sit in the queue. ARB review inside gated communities runs in parallel on its own schedule.
Does a remodel in a Boca gated community need ARB approval before the city permit?
It depends on the community and the scope. Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, St. Andrews, Broken Sound, Boca West, Woodfield, Boca Pointe, The Polo Club, and The Oaks all run their own ARB or modification-committee process. Interior-only kitchen and bathroom remodel scopes generally don't trigger ARB review, but the community covenants make that determination — not us. When ARB is required (exterior envelope, paint colors, additions, landscape, hardscape), we coordinate the ARB packet alongside the city permit so both processes run together. A general contractor boca raton owners hire on a gated-community project should be able to articulate the ARB-and-city dual track on the first call.
My A1A oceanfront condo bathroom remodel — does CCCL oversight apply?
For an interior-only bathroom remodel, generally no. The Florida DEP Coastal Construction Control Line oversight kicks in when work seaward of the CCCL touches the building's exterior envelope or the structural slab in a way that requires DEP review. Most stacked-condo interior bathroom gut work — even on the direct A1A strip — stays inside the unit envelope and doesn't trigger CCCL. Envelope work (window or sliding-door replacement on an oceanfront facade) is the trigger. We check the building's specific scope rules and the CCCL line position against your address on the first walkthrough.
Does Boca Raton require impact-rated windows under HVHZ?
Boca is in Palm Beach County, which sits inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region — not Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The operative code for impact-rated assemblies is the Florida Building Code 8th Edition WBDR standard. Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) documentation is not what the City of Boca verifies — FBC 8th Edition WBDR compliance is. Any exterior window or door replacement does need to meet the WBDR impact standard, and the city checks documentation as part of permit review. On A1A oceanfront condos the building's declaration may also specify approved manufacturers and frame profiles. We pull the building's spec before ordering.
Do you work in Royal Palm Yacht Club, Boca West, Broken Sound, St. Andrews, and the other named Boca communities?
Yes, across the named gated communities — Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, St. Andrews Country Club, Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, Boca Pointe, The Polo Club, The Oaks, plus the older Old Floresta and central Boca heritage blocks, the East Boca canal-front neighborhoods, and the A1A oceanfront condo strip. The bathroom remodeling boca raton fl scope and the kitchen remodeling boca raton scope translate across all of them; the project plan adjusts to the community's ARB process, the building's freight-elevator and quiet-hours rules on condo work, and the heritage architectural cues on Mizner-era properties. If you're in a community we haven't named here, ask on the first call and we'll confirm.
