Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across The Acreage
Hiring a general contractor in The Acreage means finding a crew that understands wells, septic systems, 1.25-acre lots, and Palm Beach County code before the first permit is pulled. Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach handles the full scope: kitchen remodels, bathrooms, room additions, ADUs, and the site work that comes with rural zoning. We put every price in writing before work starts, and every completed project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (728) 203-9809 for a free estimate, and a live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Why Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach Is The Acreage’s Preferred General Contractor Company
The Acreage is not Royal Palm Beach or Wellington. Lots are bigger, setbacks are different, and there is no municipal water or sewer to tie into. Our crews have worked on 140th Ave N, Orange Blvd, and the side streets off Northlake where homes sit back from the road and the well head is out by the fence line. We know what Palm Beach County’s rural zoning requires for additions and detached structures, and we factor septic capacity and drainfield setbacks into the scope before you spend a dollar.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who is walking onto your property before the truck pulls up. Curtis Lane runs the operation with a simple rule: the written price is the price. No numbers that move at the door. If you have been burned by a no-show or a surprise invoice, that changes the whole conversation. We hand you the scope in writing, and we stand behind it.
Styles & brands we work with
Residential General Contractor in The Acreage
Residential General Contractor work in The Acreage almost always starts with an inspection, because what is behind the walls of a 1980s or 1990s CBS home rarely matches what the homeowner expects. A kitchen remodel quoted at $14,000 to $45,000 has to account for what demo actually uncovers: rotted sill plates from subtropical humidity, aluminum wiring that has gone brittle, and framing that was never square to begin with. We build allowances into the contract for exactly these conditions, and any change is priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Opening Older Walls
Once drywall comes down on a 1980s or 1990s home, code upgrades kick in. That means GFCI protection on kitchen circuits, hardwired smoke detectors, and sometimes a service panel upgrade. We do not close a wall until Palm Beach County has signed off on the rough-in inspection, because unpermitted work kills resale value and complicates insurance claims.
Well and Septic Considerations
Most addition and ADU projects on The Acreage lots must work around the existing well and septic system. That often means larger setbacks, a drainfield capacity check, and a pump upgrade before a single wall goes up. A general contractor who does not map the septic tank first will quote you a number that cannot hold. Ours holds, because the mapping happens before the quote is final.
Hire a General Contractor in The Acreage
Hire a General Contractor in The Acreage when the job requires permits, structural changes, or coordination across electric, plumbing, and framing that a handyman crew should not be trusted to handle. A room addition on The Acreage typically runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU runs $90,000 to $220,000. Those are wide ranges because site conditions vary enormously: lot access, septic capacity, and whether the existing slab can support a second story or needs new footers.
What a Signed Scope Covers
Every Bradford Remodeling contract includes a written scope of work, a line-item price, and a schedule. When we open a wall and find rotted framing, you get a change order with a price and a signature line before we proceed. That is the whole point of hiring a disciplined general contractor instead of hoping the lowest bid works out.
Permits and Inspections
We pull the permits. We schedule the inspections. We walk the job with the county inspector when they come out, and we do not hide anything behind drywall. If the inspector flags something, it gets corrected and re-inspected, and you see the paperwork at close-out, along with your signed 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Trusted Brands We Service in The Acreage
We install and service premium materials with manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own guarantee. Kitchen remodels commonly include KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria or Caesarstone counters, and Kohler or Moen fixtures. Exterior work uses GAF roofing, James Hardie siding, and Therma-Tru doors. For hardscaping on The Acreage lots, we work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, among others. If a material fails within the guarantee period, Bradford returns and corrects it at no charge.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in The Acreage Homes
- Septic and drainfield conflicts. A contractor quotes an addition without checking septic tank location, then the county flags the setback. We map the tank and drainfield before finalizing any addition or ADU scope.
- Rotted framing behind stucco. The Acreage humidity gets behind cracked stucco and rots sills and sheathing quietly. We budget for framing repair in every remodel quote on homes built before 2000.
- Outdated wiring and undersized headers. Older CBS and frame homes often have aluminum wiring and pass-through openings that were once load-bearing walls. Demo triggers a code upgrade, and we price it ahead of time.
- Unpermitted work from previous owners. Enclosed porches, added bathrooms, and detached workshops often never got a permit. We bring the work up to current code and close out the county’s open permit history so your resale is clean.

FAQs About General Contractor in The Acreage
Yes. Once you open walls, Palm Beach County requires inspections on electrical, plumbing, and framing work, even if the exterior footprint does not change. The moment we expose wiring, plumbing, or structural members, the county expects a permit and an inspection. We pull the permit before demo starts and we do not close anything until the county signs off.
We map the well head and septic tank before finalizing the quote, then have the drainfield capacity checked if the remodel adds bedrooms or bathrooms. If the county requires a larger drainfield or upgraded pump, that shows up as a line item in the written scope, not as a surprise later. Call (728) 203-9809 and we will walk the lot with you before quoting.
It is a written document with a price, a scope description, and your signature line. On 140th Ave N, our crew opened a 1990s CBS home and found aluminum wiring brittle at every outlet, a kitchen pass-through header that was never load-bearing, and drywall nails rusted through from a long-hidden roof leak. We rewired the affected circuits, installed a county-approved LVL beam, and the owner approved the revised scope before drywall went up.
Yes. Equestrian structures are common on The Acreage, and Palm Beach County’s rural zoning allows detached barns and workshops subject to setbacks and structure requirements. We handle the site work, the slab or pier foundation, electrical rough-in, and coordinate with the county on the permit package. Stall layouts, wash racks, and feed storage are all part of the written scope.
Yes, and it usually saves time and inspection trips. Impact window installation typically runs $8,000 to $25,000, and a reinforced garage door can be folded into the same permit as a larger remodel. We coordinate the window and door schedules so the structural opening work happens once, then the openings get closed up and inspected as part of the same rough-in cycle. Call (728) 203-9809 for a written quote with the windows and doors priced as line items.
