The finished product far exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and quality of the work were outstanding, but what impressed me just as much was the professionalism of the entire crew.Read full review

What is specific about homes and rules here, with the sources
Homes in West Palm Beach

Single-family detached houses make up about 38% of homes, and another 9% are attached homes such as townhouses.

Permits and building rules
Permits are applied for through the city's Civic Access portal, and the division is at 401 Clematis Street (561-805-6700). The city's permit FAQ says electrical work is not eligible for the HB 803 under-$7,500 exemption regardless of cost, and its exemption affidavit requires the owner to swear the property is not in a flood hazard area, which Palm Beach County's Building Official says covers the whole county.

The Upwall team did a splendid job building us a new media center. Upwall is a family owned and operated. They were very pleasant people to work with. We made adjustment as we go and they were very accommodating to changes. I am very pleased with the new media center that Upwall built for me.View photo

Absolutely one of the best companies I've ever had work in my home. They were accurate they were kind they were neat. They were clean and they did everything exactly as I wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wanted to use them to do renovations or entertainment units in their media area.View photo

Questions from West Palm Beach homeowners
Can I use the HB 803 exemption for a slat wall in my West Palm Beach house?
It is unlikely. The city's Permit Exemption Request Affidavit is notarized, and the owner must affirm the home is a single-family dwelling not partly or entirely in a flood hazard area, that the scope has no electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical or gas work, and that the job is not split into more than one project. Palm Beach County's Building Official says all of Palm Beach County is designated a flood hazard area, so the exemption does not apply within the county.
Does interior finish work in a West Palm Beach condo need a permit?
Some of it does. The Building Division's FAQ says painting and replacing flooring in a house does not require a permit, but replacing flooring in an apartment or condo does. Electrical work needs a permit in any home, and the FAQ lists Chief Electrical Inspector Jay Cooley at 561-805-6742 for electrical questions.
My home is in Flamingo Park or El Cid. Does the historic district review my project?
The city's Historic Preservation Program says exterior modifications to a historic structure in its 18 local districts must comply with the Historic Preservation Ordinance and the city's Design Guidelines, and the Historic Preservation Board meets monthly. For questions about a specific project, the city's Planner on Call is at 561-822-1461 or planning@wpb.org.
