West Palm Beach holds some of the county's most loved historic neighborhoods along the Intracoastal. El Cid and Flamingo Park still show the street plans and house styles of the 1920s boom.

Many of these homes carry original barrel tile, stucco and detailing worth keeping. We repair and replace with that history in mind, and we plan the approval step from the start.

Architecture

What the streets look like.

Mediterranean Revival and Mission homes line El Cid and Flamingo Park, alongside Frame Vernacular cottages and later ranch houses. Old Northwood and Prospect Park add a mix of 1920s and mid-century homes. Waterfront lots along South Flagler Drive tend toward larger estates with tile roofs and generous stucco elevations.

Permits and review

Who signs off on the roof.

The City of West Palm Beach issues building permits for roof work. Homes inside a locally designated historic district also go through the City's historic preservation review before exterior work begins. Smaller, in-kind work often stays at staff level, while larger changes go to the Historic Preservation Board. We confirm the right path for your address before we schedule anything.

Materials here

What suits the exposure.

Barrel and S tile suit the Mediterranean homes of the historic districts. Some cottages and mid-century houses look right with flat tile, standing seam metal or a premium shingle. We match the material to the house and to the district guidelines.

Local questions

West Palm Beach, answered.

Do I need historic approval to replace my roof in El Cid?

Homes in a locally designated historic district need the City's historic preservation review before exterior work. The scope decides whether staff or the board reviews it. We check your address first.

Is it possible to change from shingle to tile on a historic home?

Sometimes. A change in material is a design change, so it usually needs review. We prepare photographs and samples to support the request.

Do you work on homes outside the historic districts?

Yes. We work across West Palm Beach, and the same planning and documentation apply to every home.
