Boca Raton owes its look to Addison Mizner. His Cloister Inn opened in 1926 and set the Mediterranean tone the city still follows.
We work across the city and the communities to the west. Each project starts with the right review path for the address.
Architecture
What the streets look like.
Mizner planned Boca Raton as a Mediterranean resort town in the mid-1920s. Old Floresta holds a group of Spanish-style homes from that period, and it became the city's first historic district in 1990. Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, the Boca Raton Riviera and Golden Harbour add waterfront estates on the canals and the Intracoastal. West of the city, gated golf communities follow their own architectural rules.

Permits and review
Who signs off on the roof.
The City of Boca Raton issues building permits inside the city limits. Its Community Appearance Board reviews the look of buildings and exterior alterations. Exterior paint colors outside the city's approved palette also go before that board. Historic sites and districts such as Old Floresta answer to the Historic Preservation Board. Homes in unincorporated west Boca permit through Palm Beach County instead. Many communities also require association approval before work starts.
Materials here
What suits the exposure.
Clay and concrete tile suit the Mediterranean homes that define the city. Many associations in the gated communities specify tile in their rules. Waterfront and oceanfront homes call for corrosion resistant fasteners, flashing and metal details.
Local questions
Boca Raton, answered.
Does my Boca Raton roof need Community Appearance Board review?
The board reviews the look of buildings and exterior alterations in the city. We check your scope, material and color against the city's rules before we apply for the permit.
I live in west Boca. Who issues my permit?
Addresses outside the city limits permit through Palm Beach County. Your association often adds its own approval on top. We confirm both before we order material.
Do you work on historic homes in Old Floresta?
Yes. Historic homes go through the Historic Preservation Board when the work calls for it. We match the tile profile and color to the original and prepare the documentation.
