The setting

Building in Palm Beach

ZIP 33480

Palm Beach is a town where the roofline is part of the public record. Barrel tile, pale stucco and deep loggias set the tone in the 1920s, and the Town still guards that character today.

A roof here is a design decision as much as a building decision. We plan the material, the color and the review path before we order a single tile.

Architecture

What the streets look like.

Addison Mizner designed dozens of buildings on the island in the 1920s, beginning with El Mirasol. His Mediterranean Revival vocabulary still shapes the town. Stucco walls, clay barrel tile, courtyards and arched loggias appear throughout the in-town streets. The Estate Section and the North End add later estates, mid-century houses and newer homes that follow the same careful proportions.

Permits and review

Who signs off on the roof.

The Town of Palm Beach runs its own Planning, Zoning and Building Department at 360 South County Road. The Architectural Commission, known as ARCOM, reviews visible changes to buildings that are not landmarked. The Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews landmarked and historically significant buildings and issues Certificates of Appropriateness. Some roof replacements qualify for administrative review. For that path, the Town's guide lists color photographs, a roof plan, a finishes sheet and product approvals. Homes inside a condominium building also need an association approval letter.

Materials here

What suits the exposure.

Clay and concrete barrel tile remain the natural fit for the island's Mediterranean homes. British West Indies and coastal houses sometimes suit standing seam metal or flat tile instead. Ocean exposure puts extra demand on fasteners, flashing and underlayment, so we specify those details as carefully as the tile.

Local questions

Palm Beach, answered.

Does every roof replacement in Palm Beach go before ARCOM?

No. Some replacements qualify for administrative review by Town staff. Landmarked properties follow the Landmarks Preservation Commission path instead. We confirm the path for your home before we prepare the package.

What does the Town ask for on a roof replacement application?

The Town's guide lists current color photographs and an existing and proposed roof plan. It also asks for a finishes sheet with color, brand and profile, plus product approvals.

Will you match the tile on a historic home?

We start with the existing tile, its profile and its color range. Then we source samples and present them for your approval and, where needed, for the Town's review.
