Lake Worth Beach holds one of the county's largest collections of historic homes. Six local historic districts protect cottages, bungalows and Mediterranean houses from the early 1900s.

Work on these homes rewards patience. We repair and replace in a way that respects the original materials and the City's preservation rules.

Architecture

What the streets look like.

Frame Vernacular cottages, bungalows and Mission and Mediterranean Revival homes fill the historic districts east of Dixie Highway. Many have metal shingle, tile or simple gable roofs that define their character.

Permits and review

Who signs off on the roof.

The City of Lake Worth Beach issues building permits. Properties in a historic district or designated as landmarks need a Certificate of Appropriateness. It comes before exterior work begins and before the City issues a building permit. The Historic Resources Preservation Board oversees that design review.

What suits the exposure.

Historic cottages often suit metal shingle, standing seam or simple tile details that match the period. We document the existing roof before we propose a material, so the review has what it needs.
