Older homes and garden walls across Palm Beach
Palm Beach is mostly homes, from older houses with garden walls, courtyards and paved entries to condo buildings, with shops and restaurants mixed in. A lot of what we're called out for here is older brick, stone and block that's been patched over the years, plus new walls, walks and outdoor kitchens that have to sit right next to work that's been there for decades.
We're often working in West Palm Beach the same week, and the houses on this side of the water ask for careful matching. Before anything gets cut or poured here, I look closely at the old mortar color, the brick and how the wall was built, because new work that doesn't blend stands out on houses like these.
What working in Palm Beach means for your job
Permits here go through the Town of Palm Beach's Planning, Zoning, and Building Department, and whether your masonry job needs one is their call, since their permit list names alteration, remodel and repair work along with roofs, shutters, windows and doors rather than masonry by name. A permit adds review time before we can start, so I check with the department early. Before any contractor can apply, the department wants them registered and showing a current certificate of competency or state license, and hiring someone unlicensed can leave you unable to get inspections or a certificate of occupancy. Anyone working inside Palm Beach also needs a business tax receipt, but Palm Beach is clear that it's a tax and doesn't prove anyone knows the work. We're licensed and insured, and when your job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork.
Street parking is something we plan for on every Palm Beach job, because a contractor can get strikes for unauthorized construction vehicles on the street, and three of them brings a stop work order. So we sort out where our trucks and deliveries go before day one, the same kind of planning we do on jobs over in Westgate. The price moves with how much wall or paving is involved, how closely new work has to match the old and what's behind the damage, and the schedule turns on permits, condo approval and the dates Palm Beach pauses work. Your written estimate spells out what's included, so you can see where the money goes before you decide.

Stone veneer installation
Plenty of Palm Beach owners want stone on an entry, column or garden wall. Our stone veneer installation goes over a properly prepared base so it holds.
Masonry restoration
Older Palm Beach walls often carry decades of patches. We find what's letting water in first, then restore the masonry so it matches the original.
Brick pointing
Garden and courtyard walls here usually lose mortar at the joints first. We rake out the weak mortar and repack it to suit the old brick.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Back terraces and pool decks here are where people want to cook outside. We build the block base and counters level and finish them to suit your house.
Walkway construction
Front walks here sit beside well-kept houses, so they have to look right. We dig out, pack a firm base and lay the walk to shed water.
Brick repair
Cracked or flaking brick on an older Palm Beach house usually means water or movement behind it. We fix that cause, then replace brick to blend with the wall.
What happens after you call us about a Palm Beach job
Call us or send the form
Tell us the address and what you're seeing, and we'll set a time for me to come out to your house. It helps if you can be there, so we can look at it together.
Walk the job together
I walk the wall or paving with you, ask a lot of questions and find what's causing the problem, not just what shows. Then you get a written estimate that spells out what's included, so the price isn't a guess.
We handle permits and work
Once you say go, we pull any permit the job needs, and our crew does the work with me on site. Palm Beach sets construction hours on a summer range from May 1 to October 30 and a winter range from November 1 to April 30, and we work inside whichever one applies.
Final walk before we leave
When the work's done, I walk the finished job with you and explain what we did and why. Then we clean up and pack up, and you've got my number if questions come up later.
Common questions
Do I need a right-of-way permit for a masonry job in Palm Beach?
You do if any of the work touches the road, sidewalk or shoulder, and that includes material deliveries and concrete pours. Palm Beach wants that application in at least 72 hours before the work starts, so we plan deliveries and pours around it instead of calling a truck the morning of.
How do I know if my Palm Beach house needs a flood plain permit?
When a permitted job is on a property in an AE or VE flood zone, Palm Beach also requires a separate Flood Plain Development permit. That application needs an elevation certificate or a survey showing elevations, and you can look up your zone on the flood maps Palm Beach posts. If you already have an elevation certificate, have it handy when I come out, because it saves a step.
Which days is construction work paused in Palm Beach?
Palm Beach pauses construction from December 24 through January 1. On the 2026 list, no construction work is allowed on November 11 or November 26, and only landscaping is allowed on November 25 and 27. We build those dates into the schedule, so a job that would run into the holidays usually starts after New Year's or finishes before.
Do I need condo approval for exterior masonry work in Palm Beach?
Yes, Palm Beach requires a condo approval letter for any exterior work on a condo unit or building. Get that letter moving early, because the rest of the job waits on it.
How much does masonry repair cost in Palm Beach, FL?
The price comes down to the size of the job, how hard the old brick, stone or mortar is to match and how deep the cause of the damage goes. Permits add to it too, since alteration permit fees here are figured by square footage, and once all the improvements on a project add up to $5000 or more, the permit form asks for extra owner, lender and design details. I'll give you a written estimate after I've seen the wall, so you're working from your own number.
What causes mortar joints to crumble on older Palm Beach homes?
Usually it's water working into the joints over the years, or an old repair done with mortar harder than the brick around it. Hard mortar won't give as the wall moves, so the brick takes the stress and the patch pulls loose. We find which one it is before we repoint, because new mortar over a water problem just fails again.
