Boynton Beach spans four distinct architectural eras — 1960s Leisureville ranch homes, 1970s-80s CBS construction in Hunters Run and Aberdeen, 1990s planned communities like Canyon and Coral Lakes, and 2000s developments in Valencia and Canyon Isles. Each era requires different reconstruction techniques, materials, and code-upgrade strategies. Palm Build handles every phase from demolition through final Palm Beach County inspection — CBS stucco wall systems, barrel tile roof repair, impact window installation, and Florida Building Code 7th Edition compliance at 140 mph wind loads — with one team, one project manager, and insurance coordination from day one.
Deerfield Beach — 20 Minutes from Boynton Beach 30-45 min Response IICRC Certified
The mitigation crew has left your Leisureville kitchen. Baseboards removed, drywall cut
at 2 feet, bare CBS block exposed, dehumidifiers gone. Now you're standing in a gutted
kitchen wondering: who puts it all back together?
This is the gap most Boynton Beach homeowners don't expect. The emergency phase is over
— the water is extracted, the structure is dry, mold has been prevented. But the kitchen
is still torn apart. The bathroom still has no vanity. The living room drywall is cut at
the flood line. Your insurance adjuster says "find a contractor for the reconstruction
phase."
Palm Build eliminates that gap. We handle both mitigation and reconstruction as a single
coordinated project — so when the drying equipment comes out, the rebuild crew is
already scheduled. No weeks of searching for a general contractor. No re-explaining your
home's damage to a stranger. No second estimate that contradicts the first.
Ranges reflect Boynton Beach CBS construction, slab-on-grade foundations, and South
Florida material/labor costs. Actual costs depend on scope, finishes, and code upgrade
requirements.
Insurance-funded reconstruction: Most Boynton Beach
reconstruction projects are covered by homeowners insurance. Palm Build writes estimates
in Xactimate — the same software your carrier uses — and coordinates directly with your
adjuster from scope development through final payment.
Boynton Beach reconstruction involves CBS-specific techniques, slab-on-grade
considerations, and material matching across four decades of community development. From
1960s Leisureville ranch homes to 2000s Canyon Isles Mediterranean villas, here's what
Palm Build handles.
Drywall on CBS Block Walls
Boynton Beach homes are predominantly concrete block stucco (CBS) construction — fundamentally different from wood-frame homes. After water damage, drywall on CBS walls requires complete removal, assessment of the block for moisture absorption and efflorescence, installation of furring strips with a moisture barrier, and new drywall hung on a prepared substrate. Fire-damaged CBS walls may need structural evaluation of the block itself. This CBS-specific process takes longer and costs more than standard drywall replacement, but skipping the moisture barrier leads to recurring mold problems within months.
Baseboard & Crown Molding Matching
Boynton Beach's retirement communities — Leisureville, Hunters Run, Aberdeen — were built across four distinct decades with different trim profiles. Matching existing baseboards and crown molding requires identifying the original profile, sourcing or milling matching stock, and blending new with existing. For 1960s Leisureville ranch homes with simple cove molding, this is straightforward. For 1990s Canyon Lakes homes with complex crown profiles and decorative chair rail, it requires custom milling. We photograph and template existing trim before demolition to ensure seamless matching.
Tile Floor Replacement on Slab
Boynton Beach homes sit on slab-on-grade foundations — no subfloor, no crawl space. Tile replacement on slab requires removal of existing tile and thinset down to clean concrete, leveling the slab surface, and installation of new tile with proper thinset coverage for the Florida climate. Terrazzo floors in 1960s Leisureville homes are a special case: original terrazzo can often be restored by grinding and polishing rather than replaced, saving significant cost and preserving a sought-after mid-century material.
Barrel Tile Roof Repair
Barrel tile is the signature roofing material in Boynton Beach's Mediterranean-influenced communities — Hunters Run, Aberdeen, Canyon Isles, Valencia. After storm or fire damage, barrel tile must be matched in profile, color, and manufacturer. Discontinued profiles require sourcing from salvage suppliers or custom manufacturing. All roof repair triggers Florida Building Code compliance: hurricane clips at every truss-to-wall connection, proper underlayment per FBC Chapter 15, and wind-resistance testing documentation.
Impact Window Installation
When windows are damaged or when code upgrades are triggered during reconstruction, replacement windows in Boynton Beach must be impact-rated — meeting Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) standards and current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for the 140 mph design speed. Older Leisureville jalousie windows being replaced during reconstruction must be upgraded to impact-rated units. Impact windows run $800-$1,500 per opening depending on size and configuration, but are typically covered by ordinance-and-law endorsements.
Electrical & Plumbing Updates
Reconstruction in Boynton Beach frequently triggers mandatory code upgrades: GFCI outlets throughout (not just wet areas), arc-fault breakers, whole-house surge protection, and upgraded electrical panels. Plumbing reconstruction often involves replacing polybutylene piping — widespread in Boynton Beach homes built between 1978 and 1995 — with modern CPVC or PEX systems. Older galvanized drain lines in 1960s Leisureville homes may also require replacement. All upgrades must pass Palm Beach County inspection.
Paint Matching & Stucco Exterior
Boynton Beach HOA communities enforce strict exterior color standards. Stucco repair after water intrusion or storm damage must match existing texture (smooth, skip-trowel, knockdown, or lace) and color precisely. Exterior painting requires HOA-approved colors — which vary by community and often by specific lot or section. We coordinate with HOA architectural review committees before exterior reconstruction begins to prevent costly do-overs and ensure compliance.
Boynton Beach Construction Eras
Four Decades of Retirement Community Architecture
Boynton Beach's residential landscape spans four distinct construction eras — each with
different materials, building techniques, and code standards. Reconstructing a 1960s
Leisureville ranch home is a fundamentally different project from rebuilding a 2005
Canyon Isles villa. Understanding which era your home belongs to determines every
material choice, code requirement, and cost estimate.
1960s — Leisureville
Mid-Century Ranch
Single-story ranch homes
Jalousie windows
Terrazzo floors
Flat or low-pitch roofs
Simple cove molding
Carport (not garage)
Reconstruction requires terrazzo restoration expertise, jalousie-to-impact window conversion, and flat roof membrane systems. Many homes still have original polybutylene plumbing and undersized electrical panels.
1970-80s — Hunters Run / Aberdeen
Mediterranean Revival
Barrel tile roofs
Arched entryways
Stucco exterior (textured)
Screened patios
Tile flooring on slab
Two-story villas and single-story homes
Barrel tile matching is critical — discontinued profiles require specialty sourcing. CBS walls with original stucco textures must be matched precisely. Many units are HOA-governed with strict architectural standards.
1990s — Canyon Lakes / Coral Lakes
Contemporary Mediterranean
Concrete barrel tile roofs
Screened lanais
Volume ceilings
Complex crown molding profiles
Tile and marble flooring
Impact-ready window openings
Homes in this era have more complex trim and finish details. Crown molding profiles may require custom milling. Volume ceilings with water damage need full-height scaffolding for drywall replacement.
2000s+ — Valencia / Canyon Isles
Modern Mediterranean
Impact windows (factory-installed)
Updated electrical to NEC 2002+
Engineered roof trusses with clips
Modern plumbing (PEX/CPVC)
Open floor plans
High-end finish materials
Newer construction is closer to current code, reducing mandatory upgrade costs during reconstruction. However, premium finish materials — designer tile, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry — increase replacement costs significantly.

Understanding the Process
Mitigation vs. Reconstruction: Why One Company Should Handle Both
Property restoration has two distinct phases — and the gap between them is where Boynton
Beach projects go sideways. In South Florida's heat and humidity, mold can colonize
exposed CBS block and framing within 24-48 hours of mitigation completion, turning a
manageable reconstruction into a significantly larger scope.
Phase 1: Mitigation
Mitigation stops the active damage. For water damage in Boynton Beach homes, this means
extraction and structural drying of CBS block walls — which absorb and hold moisture
differently than wood framing. For fire, it's board-up, soot stabilization, and water
removal from fire suppression. For hurricanes, it's emergency tarping of barrel tile
roofs, debris clearing, and securing the building envelope. Mitigation begins within
hours and typically takes 3-7 days.
Many restoration companies — especially national franchises operating in South Florida —
only handle this phase. When mitigation is complete, they hand your project to a
separate general contractor. In Boynton Beach's retirement communities, this handoff
creates weeks of delay while elderly homeowners wait in temporary housing for a new
contractor to learn their home's construction.
Phase 2: Reconstruction
Reconstruction rebuilds what was damaged. This is the general contracting phase: drywall
on CBS block, tile flooring on slab, baseboard matching, barrel tile roofing, impact
window installation, painting, trim, electrical, plumbing, and finish work. In Boynton
Beach, reconstruction requires permits from Palm Beach County, inspections at multiple
stages, Florida Building Code compliance, and coordination with your insurance adjuster
on scope and pricing.
When the same company handles both phases, the transition is seamless. Our
reconstruction team reviews the scope during mitigation — not after. Permits are
submitted while drying is underway. Materials are ordered before the last dehumidifier
leaves. For Boynton Beach homes with discontinued barrel tile or specialty terrazzo,
this early ordering saves 4-8 weeks of lead time.
Palm Build: One Team, Both Phases
Palm Build handles mitigation and reconstruction as a single coordinated project. No
handoffs to separate contractors, no gaps in your timeline, no duplicated documentation,
no conflicting estimates. One project manager, one insurance contact, one team from
emergency response through final walkthrough — critical for Boynton Beach homeowners who
need their homes rebuilt correctly the first time.
Eight steps from scope development through final handoff — including CBS block
preparation, Palm Beach County permitting, and Florida Building Code compliance at every
stage.
01
Scope Development & Permitting
Days 1-7
We walk through the property with you and your insurance adjuster to develop a comprehensive reconstruction scope. Every damaged item is documented, measured, and priced using Xactimate. For Boynton Beach CBS homes, we include line items for furring strip installation, moisture barriers on block walls, and any code-triggered upgrades. Palm Beach County building permits are submitted for all structural, electrical, and plumbing work.
02
Demolition to Clean Substrate
Days 5-12
Damaged materials are removed to clean substrate — down to bare CBS block for walls, clean concrete slab for flooring. Existing materials are documented and photographed before removal to ensure accurate matching. For Boynton Beach homes with terrazzo floors, we evaluate restoration vs. replacement. Barrel tile profiles and stucco textures are templated for sourcing. Specialty materials are ordered immediately to avoid 3-8 week lead times.
03
Rough-In: Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC
Weeks 2-4
Electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC modifications are completed and inspected by Palm Beach County before wall finishes are installed. This is where code upgrades happen: replacing polybutylene piping with CPVC or PEX, upgrading electrical panels, adding whole-house surge protection, GFCI outlets throughout, and arc-fault breakers. Each trade is inspected separately by the county.
04
Insulation & Drywall (CBS Block Prep)
Weeks 3-5
For CBS block walls: furring strips are installed with proper spacing, moisture barrier is applied between block and drywall, and new drywall is hung on the prepared substrate. This CBS-specific preparation prevents moisture migration from the block into the new wall assembly — a critical step in South Florida where block walls absorb and slowly release moisture. Insulation upgrades to current Florida Energy Code R-values where required.
05
Finish Work: Tile, Paint, Trim
Weeks 5-8
Tile flooring installed on leveled slab. Interior painting with primer and two finish coats. Baseboard and crown molding installed and matched to existing profiles. Cabinet installation. Countertop templating and installation. For Boynton Beach HOA communities, exterior stucco texture matching and HOA-approved paint colors are coordinated with the architectural review committee before application.
06
Fixtures & Appliances
Weeks 7-9
Plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, appliance installation, and hardware. For insurance-funded reconstruction, fixtures are matched to pre-loss quality and grade. Upgraded fixtures (beyond pre-loss condition) are available with the homeowner paying the difference between insurance coverage and upgrade cost. All fixture installations pass final Palm Beach County inspection.
07
Final Inspection
Week 9-10
Final electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and building inspections by Palm Beach County. We schedule inspections proactively and address any corrections immediately. Certificate of completion is issued by the county confirming all work meets current Florida Building Code requirements — a critical document for insurance final payment release and future property transactions.
08
Walkthrough & Handoff
Project Completion
The final walkthrough with the homeowner confirms every item in the reconstruction scope has been completed. Any punch list items are addressed on the spot. A completion packet including permits, inspection reports, warranty documentation, and before/after photos is provided. This packet is also submitted to your insurance carrier for final payment release.
Florida Building Code
Code Compliance During Boynton Beach Reconstruction
Florida Building Code 7th Edition governs all reconstruction work in Boynton Beach.
Reconstruction is not just about restoring your home to pre-loss condition — it's an
opportunity to upgrade to current code, improving hurricane resistance, electrical
safety, and energy efficiency. Many of these upgrades are covered by ordinance-and-law
endorsements on your insurance policy.
140 mph wind load design speed — all structural connections must meet this standard
Triggered by: All reconstruction involving roof or wall systems
25-year condo recertification for buildings 3+ stories (milestone inspection)
Triggered by: Condo reconstruction projects
Building permits required for all structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work
Triggered by: All reconstruction projects
Impact-rated windows and doors (Miami-Dade NOA approved) when replacing existing windows
Electrical upgrades to NEC 2023: GFCI throughout, arc-fault breakers, surge protection
Triggered by: Electrical panel replacement or new circuits
Reconstruction = Code Upgrade Opportunity
Every Boynton Beach reconstruction project is an opportunity to upgrade your home to
current Florida Building Code standards. A home originally built in the 1960s
(Leisureville) or 1970s (Hunters Run) can gain impact windows, modern electrical
protection, hurricane-rated roof connections, and updated plumbing — all covered by
insurance when the work is triggered by a covered loss. Without reconstruction,
these upgrades would cost $20,000-$60,000 out of pocket.
50% Substantial Improvement Rule
If reconstruction costs exceed 50% of your home's pre-damage market value, the
entire structure must meet current Florida Building Code — including flood elevation
in FEMA zones. For a $350K Boynton Beach home, that threshold is $175K. For a $250K
Leisureville home, it's $125K. Without an ordinance-and-law endorsement, these
mandatory upgrades come out of pocket. Confirm this endorsement exists on your
policy now.
Boynton Beach Pricing
Why Boynton Beach Reconstruction Costs More
Boynton Beach reconstruction costs are higher than national averages for specific,
quantifiable reasons: CBS block wall preparation, slab-on-grade flooring, barrel tile
sourcing, impact window requirements, and comprehensive Palm Beach County permitting.
Understanding these cost drivers helps you evaluate estimates and negotiate with your
insurance carrier.

Insurance Covers These Costs
CBS block preparation, impact window upgrades, barrel tile matching, and permit fees
are all legitimate reconstruction costs covered by standard homeowners policies. The
key is proper documentation: Xactimate line items for each CBS-specific step, code
upgrade justification referencing Florida Building Code sections, and material
sourcing documentation for specialty items. Palm Build's estimates include this
documentation — generic contractor estimates often don't, leading to underpayment.
Insurance Coverage
Insurance & Reconstruction in Boynton Beach
Florida's insurance landscape is complex — carrier exits, rising premiums, and
regulatory changes create uncertainty. Understanding your reconstruction coverage before
filing ensures you receive the full benefit you're paying for. Palm Build's
Xactimate-based estimates match the format insurance carriers use, minimizing disputes
and approval delays.
RCV vs. ACV Policies
Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies pay to replace damaged items with new equivalents — critical for Boynton Beach reconstruction where matching materials (barrel tile, specialty stucco, terrazzo) can be expensive. Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies deduct depreciation, which can leave significant gaps on older Leisureville or Hunters Run homes where materials have decades of depreciation. Know which type you carry before filing.
Ordinance & Law Coverage (Code Upgrades)
When reconstruction triggers Florida Building Code upgrades — impact windows, hurricane straps, electrical panel upgrades, GFCI throughout — ordinance-and-law endorsements cover the cost. Without this endorsement, mandatory code upgrades come out of pocket. For a 1960s Leisureville home, code upgrades during reconstruction can add $15,000-$40,000. Confirm this endorsement exists on your policy.
Additional Living Expenses (ALE)
ALE coverage pays for temporary housing, meals, and related expenses while your Boynton Beach home is uninhabitable during reconstruction. In South Florida, temporary housing costs $2,000-$5,000/month depending on season and availability. ALE coverage typically caps at 12-24 months or a fixed dollar amount. For longer reconstruction projects, verify your ALE limits are sufficient before work begins.
Supplemental Claims for Hidden Damage
During demolition, hidden damage is frequently discovered: mold behind CBS block walls, termite damage in furring strips, corroded polybutylene plumbing, deteriorated electrical wiring. These discoveries require supplemental claims — additional requests to your carrier for expanded scope coverage. Palm Build documents all hidden damage with photos, moisture readings, and Xactimate line items and files supplements within 48 hours of discovery.
1-year filing deadline: Florida law requires claims to be filed within one
year of the date of loss. Supplemental claims for hidden damage discovered during reconstruction
must also be filed within this window. Do not delay starting reconstruction — the clock is
running.
Xactimate documentation: Palm Build writes all reconstruction estimates in
Xactimate — the same software your insurance carrier uses. This eliminates format-based disputes,
ensures every CBS-specific line item is properly coded, and accelerates claim approval. Generic
contractor estimates in Word or Excel create friction that delays your project.
Palm Build Manages Your Boynton Beach Insurance Claim
From initial scope through final payment, we coordinate directly with your adjuster —
handling supplements for hidden damage, code upgrade justifications, and progress
documentation. One team managing both the reconstruction and the insurance process means
nothing falls through the cracks.

The Palm Build Difference
Why Boynton Beach Homeowners Choose Palm Build for Reconstruction
Single Source: Mitigation + Reconstruction
No handoffs between companies. Our mitigation and reconstruction teams work as one unit. Reconstruction planning begins during the drying phase — not after it ends. In Boynton Beach's subtropical climate where mold colonizes exposed CBS block within 24-48 hours, this seamless transition prevents secondary damage that would expand the scope and cost.
FL Licensed General Contractor
Palm Build holds Florida general contractor and specialty licensing for structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work. We pull our own Palm Beach County permits, manage all inspections, and ensure Florida Building Code compliance throughout reconstruction — no subcontracted permit responsibility.
Know Boynton Beach Construction Eras
We understand the difference between reconstructing a 1960s Leisureville ranch (terrazzo, jalousie windows, flat roof) and a 2000s Canyon Isles villa (impact windows, barrel tile, open floor plan). Each era requires different materials, techniques, and code upgrade approaches. This knowledge prevents costly mistakes and ensures proper material matching.
Insurance Documentation Throughout
Every phase of reconstruction is documented in Xactimate — from initial scope through hidden damage supplements to final completion. Photos, moisture readings, code upgrade justifications, and progress reports are maintained continuously and shared with your adjuster. This documentation ensures full payment for legitimate reconstruction costs.
Code-Compliant Upgrades
We ensure every reconstruction project meets current Florida Building Code — 140 mph wind load, impact-rated openings, NEC 2023 electrical standards, and hurricane-rated roof connections. These upgrades improve your home's storm resistance and may reduce insurance premiums. All code upgrades are documented for ordinance-and-law coverage reimbursement.
Warranty on Workmanship
Palm Build provides a written warranty on all reconstruction workmanship. If a trim joint opens, paint peels, tile loosens, or any installed element fails due to installation defect, we return and correct it at no charge. This warranty covers labor and materials for the warranty period — giving Boynton Beach homeowners confidence that the rebuild will last.
Common Questions
Boynton Beach Reconstruction Services FAQ
How long does reconstruction take after damage in Boynton Beach?
Minor reconstruction (stucco patch, single-room flooring replacement): 1-3 weeks. Moderate reconstruction (multiple rooms, kitchen or bathroom rebuild, barrel tile roof section): 4-10 weeks. Major reconstruction (structural CBS rebuild, full hurricane hardening, impact window installation throughout): 10-20 weeks. Boynton Beach timelines vary by architectural era — reconstructing a 1960s Leisureville ranch home to current code requires more extensive upgrades than rebuilding a 2000s Canyon Isles home that was built closer to modern standards. Impact window lead times of 6-10 weeks and Palm Beach County permit processing can extend schedules further.
What is the difference between mitigation and reconstruction?
Mitigation stops the active damage — water extraction, structural drying, mold containment, fire and soot stabilization. Reconstruction rebuilds what was damaged — CBS stucco walls, flooring, cabinetry, barrel tile roofing, electrical, plumbing, painting, and all finish work. Many restoration companies only handle mitigation and hand off reconstruction to a separate general contractor, creating a dangerous gap where exposed materials sit in Boynton Beach's 70%+ humidity. Palm Build handles both phases as one coordinated project, eliminating the gap between mitigation completion and rebuild start — critical in a subtropical climate where mold colonizes exposed framing and drywall within 24-48 hours.
Does insurance cover full reconstruction costs in Boynton Beach?
Yes — if the original damage was caused by a covered peril (fire, sudden water damage, wind, etc.), your homeowners policy covers reconstruction to pre-loss condition. Florida-specific considerations include wind deductibles of 2-5% of dwelling coverage, mold sublimits typically capped at $10,000-$25,000, and the critical ordinance-and-law endorsement that covers code-required upgrades when reconstruction must meet current Florida Building Code standards. Hurricane deductibles apply to wind-driven damage events. Palm Build's Xactimate-based estimates separate covered reconstruction from code-upgrade line items, maximizing your claim approval.
What are the Florida Building Code requirements for reconstruction in Boynton Beach?
Florida Building Code 7th Edition requires all new and reconstructed elements to meet current standards, including 140 mph wind load design for structural components, hurricane straps at every roof-to-wall connection, impact-rated windows and doors or approved shutter systems, wind-resistant roof covering with enhanced fastening schedules, and proper moisture barriers behind stucco. The 50% substantial improvement rule adds another layer: if reconstruction costs exceed 50% of the home's pre-damage market value, the entire structure must be brought into full current code compliance — including flood elevation requirements in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas.
How is CBS stucco reconstruction different from wood-frame construction?
CBS (concrete block and stucco) construction — the dominant building method across all four of Boynton Beach's architectural eras — requires fundamentally different reconstruction techniques than wood-frame. CBS walls cannot be sistered or scabbed like wood studs; damaged blocks must be cut out and replaced with matching CMU, then re-stuccoed with proper base coat, brown coat, and finish coat applications with appropriate cure times between each layer. Water damage in CBS homes migrates differently — moisture wicks through the porous block and can travel laterally behind stucco for feet beyond the visible damage area. Thermal imaging and moisture mapping are essential before any CBS reconstruction scope is finalized to ensure all affected block is identified.
Can Palm Build repair or replace barrel tile roofing during reconstruction?
Yes. Barrel tile (also called S-tile or Spanish tile) is the signature roofing material across Boynton Beach's 1970s-2000s communities — Hunters Run, Aberdeen, Canyon Isles, and Valencia Bay all feature concrete or clay barrel tile roofs. Reconstruction involving barrel tile requires matching the existing tile profile, color, and weathering pattern so repaired sections blend seamlessly. When full roof replacement is necessary, current Florida Building Code requires enhanced underlayment (peel-and-stick in the first 4 feet from eaves and around all penetrations), proper hip and ridge attachment, and wind-rated fastening that meets 140 mph design loads. We maintain relationships with barrel tile suppliers throughout Palm Beach County to source matching replacement tiles.
Do I need HOA approval for exterior reconstruction in Boynton Beach?
Yes — virtually all of Boynton Beach's major communities operate under HOA or COA governance: Hunters Run, Aberdeen, Indian Spring, Leisureville, Canyon Isles, Valencia Bay, Renaissance Commons, and Coral Lakes all have architectural review requirements for exterior modifications. Even insurance-covered reconstruction must comply with community standards for stucco color, barrel tile profile, window style, landscaping restoration, and exterior paint. Palm Build coordinates with HOA architectural review boards as part of the reconstruction process, submitting plans and material specifications for approval before exterior work begins. For 3+ story condos in communities like Hunters Run, Coral Lakes, and Renaissance Commons, the 25-year milestone inspection requirement may also intersect with reconstruction scope.
What permits are required for reconstruction in Boynton Beach?
Palm Beach County Building Division requires permits for all structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work during reconstruction. In Boynton Beach, this includes CBS wall repair or replacement, roof repair exceeding 25% of the roof area, window and door replacement (especially when upgrading to impact-rated products), electrical panel upgrades, plumbing re-piping, and HVAC replacement. Florida's 50% substantial improvement rule means that if your reconstruction costs exceed 50% of the home's pre-damage market value — $158,500 on Boynton Beach's $317,000 median — the entire structure must meet current code. Palm Build handles all permit applications, coordinates inspections, and ensures every phase of reconstruction passes Palm Beach County review.
