Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Palm Beach
General contracting in Palm Beach means something different than it does twenty miles inland. The architectural review, the salt air, the flood maps, the landmark rules. Most jobs here cost between $8,000 and $130,000 depending on scope, and the permitting path can add weeks if nobody files the right paperwork. We run that process for you, start to finish. Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach handles kitchens, bathrooms, additions, whole-home remodels, and ADUs across Palm Beach with a written price before any work starts. Call (728) 203-9809 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach Is Palm Beach’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Most Palm Beach homeowners have dealt with a contractor who disappeared after demo. Or one who showed up with a new number at the door. That is not how we operate. Every project runs under The Garrison Standard, the operating framework from the Garrison Partners family we have been part of since 2004. The Garrison Code puts three things in writing before a single tool comes out: the full scope, the fixed price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That promise means if any of our work fails within a year of completion, we come back and correct it at no charge. You will have that guarantee in your hand, signed, at job close.
Curtis Lane leads our West Palm Beach operation, and every technician who walks onto your property is background-checked and uniformed. You will know who is coming before they arrive. That matters on Palm Beach, where gatehouses, private roads, and estate security mean random subcontractors do not just walk up the driveway.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in Palm Beach
A Residential General Contractor in Palm Beach coordinates every trade on your project: demo, framing, plumbing and electrical rough-in, drywall, finishes, inspections. On an island where many homes date to the 1920s and many more are mid-century condos, the job is rarely straightforward. Wall cavities hide unreinforced masonry. Original casement windows carry salt corrosion nobody sees until the trim comes off. A kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 – $45,000. A bathroom runs $9,000 – $28,000. Those ranges assume a written scope and a crew that shows up when they say they will.
What sets Palm Beach work apart is the review layer. Before we order materials, we sit down with the property and cross-check it against Landmarks Preservation Commission constraints if it sits in the Estate Section, and FEMA base flood elevation maps regardless of where it sits. That front-end work is what keeps your project from stalling mid-frame.
Scope and Submittal Packet
We build the full submittal packet ourselves: drawings, finish schedules, material specs, window and door schedules, roof assembly details, and structural notes where wind-load codes require them. For historic homes, that packet also documents every existing condition we cannot change, from stucco texture to roof slope. Filing a complete packet the first time saves four to eight weeks versus a partial one kicked back by the committee.
Site Protocol on the Island
Palm Beach job sites are tighter than mainland ones. Narrow lots, mature landscaping, homeowner associations, and neighbors close enough to hear a nail gun. Our crews run clean sites daily, protect existing landscape with fencing and tarps, and keep material deliveries scheduled outside peak Worth Avenue traffic windows. The goal is a job site that looks squared away every single evening, not one that looks like a war zone for six months.
Hire a General Contractor in Palm Beach
When you Hire a General Contractor in Palm Beach, you are hiring someone to be accountable for the whole job, not just one trade. That means pulling permits, scheduling inspections, managing subs, and holding the line on cost. A home addition in Palm Beach runs $45,000 – $130,000. An ADU runs $90,000 – $220,000. Those numbers assume the contractor is filing the right paperwork with both the town and FEMA, because a non-compliant certificate of occupancy will stop a sale or rental cold.
We have done this long enough to know where the hidden costs live on this island. Salt corrosion on metal flashings nobody checks. Outdated panel capacity that a 2026 remodel will fail inspection on. Roof-to-wall connections that do not meet current wind-load code. We surface these during the written estimate phase, not halfway through framing when the number moves.
Fixed Price, No Door Moves
The written price we give you before work starts is the price. It includes the materials, the labor, the permits, and the project management. If a surprise shows up behind a wall, we document it, show you the evidence, and write a change order for your signature before any extra work happens. No one shows up at the door with a new number.
Draw Schedule Tied to Inspections
We align every draw with a passed inspection sign-off, not a calendar date. That way you are paying for completed, approved work, not promises. In Palm Beach, where Landmarks Preservation Commission review and FEMA elevation sign-offs can add weeks to the calendar, this keeps money from sitting out against work that cannot proceed yet.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We install and service premium materials with manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own guarantee: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors. For Palm Beach homeowners exploring prefabricated or modular components, we have worked with Plant Prefab and Boxabl systems and can advise honestly on where they work well here and where they do not. Because we know this island’s supply houses and stock the common fasteners and flashings that salt air destroys, we can often turn around material fixes faster than a contractor who has to order everything from a mainland warehouse.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Mid-project stop-work orders from Landmarks Preservation Commission. A contractor files a scope without verifying what cannot be changed, like original stucco texture or roof profile in the Estate Section. The committee flags it, and the job sits. We verify constraints before we file anything.
- Corroded carbon-steel fasteners and uncoated metal connectors. Salt-laden ocean air eats standard hardware within months. We run stainless steel fasteners and coated connectors on any exterior or ocean-facing assembly, and we check existing hardware for corrosion before we build on it.
- Additions built below FEMA base flood elevation. A new patio or addition poured six inches too low is a demolition order waiting to happen. We check the flood maps and elevation certificates before we finalize any foundation or slab plan.
- Impact-rated glazing spec’d wrong for historic openings. On a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home, you cannot just swap original casement windows for modern impact frames without changing the look. We engineer hidden impact-rated glazing inside existing frame profiles, which satisfies both the building department and Landmarks Preservation Commission.

FAQs About General Contractor in Palm Beach
Plan for four to eight additional weeks, depending on the scope and whether the packet is complete on first submission. In Palm Beach’s Estate Section, the Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews stucco texture, roof profile, window details, and material changes even for hurricane retrofits. A clean, complete submittal packet filed by a contractor who understands their standards typically moves through faster than a partial one. If your project sits in a designated historic district, expect the review to sit on the longer end of that range. We file the packet for you and schedule the construction calendar around that review window so crews are not standing idle. Call (728) 203-9809 for an exact timeline on your property.
Yes. Palm Beach building permits for additions, new construction, and many substantial remodels require a FEMA elevation certificate or a survey establishing the base flood elevation for the parcel. If your existing home sits below that elevation, any new work that does not address it can trigger a non-compliant certificate of occupancy. This happens more often than homeowners expect, especially on the lakefront and oceanfront properties around the island. We coordinate the survey, the elevation documentation, and any fill or structural adjustments before the first inspection. Call (728) 203-9809 and we will check your property’s flood zone in the estimate walk.
Stainless steel fasteners, powder-coated aluminum railings, fiber-cement siding like James Hardie, and architectural-grade asphalt or metal roofing hold up best. Untreated carbon steel, plain galvanized connectors, and uncoated aluminum corrode fastest within a few hundred yards of the ocean. On the 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes along South Ocean Boulevard, we spec stainless hardware for every exterior assembly, including window flashing, door thresholds, and roof-to-wall straps. It adds cost but prevents a railing or trim failure inside three years. Call (728) 203-9809 for a written materials spec on your project.
In the Estate Section and any Landmarks Preservation Commission district, the answer is generally no for visible changes to roof slope or profile. Solar panels must sit flush with existing roof lines and cannot alter the original silhouette. A second story that changes the roofline almost always gets denied. What you can do is reinforce the existing roof structure from inside and install impact-rated roofing materials that match the original profile. On one 1920s Mediterranean Revival home near Worth Avenue, we restored the original clay tile roof profile while installing hidden roof-to-wall connectors and impact-rated underlayment, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved it because the visible roofline never changed. Call (728) 203-9809 to discuss what your property will support.
At minimum, schedule inspections at foundation or slab, framing, rough-in for mechanical and electrical, insulation, and final. Palm Beach jobs with a Landmarks Preservation Commission overlay add a review inspection at the start and often another at exterior finish. We align every draw payment with a passed inspection, which means you will see a cadence of about one inspection every two to three weeks on a standard kitchen or bath remodel. On a larger addition, expect inspections weekly during framing and rough-in. We schedule them, meet the inspector on site, and flag corrections before the inspector arrives so the project does not stall. Call (728) 203-9809 for your free estimate and a schedule breakdown.
