AfterConstruction Services in Boca Del Mar, FL
Boca Del Mar runs on a different set of rules than most of South Florida, and that’s the first thing we tell homeowners here. This unincorporated Palm Beach County community doesn’t answer to Boca Raton’s building department. Permits go through the county, inspections come from county inspectors, and the fee schedule is different than what a contractor working off Boca Raton assumptions would quote you. Our crews know the 33433 permit path cold, and we answer the phone at (877) 610-1318 when you want to talk through a project before anything gets signed.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling and building in South Florida since 1998. Tom Barrett founded this company, and his sons run the crews today. When you call about a kitchen remodel or a roof replacement in Boca Del Mar, you’ll speak with someone who knows what a CBS block home needs under current Palm Beach County code, not a call center reading from a script.

Why Boca Del Mar Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most of our Boca Del Mar clients come to us after a bad experience with another contractor. They tell us the same story: a national company quoted one price over the phone, showed up with a different number, and then disappeared when the permit hit a snag. That’s not how we operate, and it never has been. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything. We’d rather you check than wonder.
We work regularly in the villa communities off Camino Real and in the single-family neighborhoods around Ponderosa Drive and surrounding 33433 streets. Homeowners there know the drill: permits pulled on every eligible job, inspections signed before we call the project finished, and every price change written down as a change order before work moves forward. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises on a five-figure renovation.
Our standing offers apply to every Boca Del Mar job: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. And when the job is done, you get our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on the contract. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Construction Services We Offer in Boca Del Mar
Kitchen Remodeling
Boca Del Mar kitchens in the 1970s and 1980s CBS homes were built tight, with closed-off layouts and cabinetry that’s now four decades old. We open them up, move plumbing where it needs to go, and install brands you can look up, like KraftMaid and Cambria, not mystery stock off a van. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Boca Del Mar.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Boca Del Mar bathrooms hide issues behind the tile: corroded galvanized supply lines, failing shower pans, and venting that doesn’t meet current code. We handle the full gut and rebuild, and every permit is pulled before demo starts. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Boca Del Mar.
Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs are common in Boca Del Mar, and they take a beating during summer storms. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with fastening schedules that meet Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. Learn more about our Roofing in Boca Del Mar.
Windows & Doors
Those single-pane aluminum frames from the 1980s won’t pass a wind-load test today, and any permitted renovation that crosses certain cost thresholds requires impact-rated openings. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, PGT, and CGI products that meet HVHZ code. Learn more about our Windows & Doors - Boca Del Mar when you call.
Fence Installation
Boca Del Mar’s villa communities have specific fence height and material rules, and the county enforces them. We handle the permitting and install everything from privacy PVC to ornamental aluminum. Learn more about our fence work when you call.
Driveway & Pavers
The shallow water table in Boca Del Mar, often just two to four feet below grade, means paver driveways need proper base preparation or they shift within a few years. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscapes with drainage accounted for from day one. Learn more about our driveway and paver work when you call.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a CBS home in unincorporated Palm Beach County triggers roof-to-wall connector retrofits and impact-rated openings under current code. We plan for those costs upfront so your written scope matches the final inspection. Learn more about our addition and ADU work when you call.
Every one of these services starts the same way in Boca Del Mar: a free estimate, a written scope of work, and a clear permit plan. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask for Tom or one of his sons.

Why Boca Del Mar’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Boca Del Mar was largely built out in the 1970s and 1980s, and the housing stock reflects it: CBS concrete block and stucco homes with sturdy walls but older tie-beam connections, flat or low-slope roofs, and single-pane aluminum windows that no longer meet current wind-load requirements. Any permitted renovation that crosses certain cost thresholds requires bringing roof-to-wall connections and openings up to present Palm Beach County standards. That’s not a contractor padding the scope. That’s the county code, and the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
The shallow water table in South Palm Beach County adds another layer to any project involving excavation. In Boca Del Mar, groundwater often sits just two to four feet below grade. Additions, paver patios with proper base depth, and any below-grade utility work need dewatering planning or the concrete and compaction fail early. Combine that with the high-velocity hurricane zone requirements for impact-rated windows, doors, and specific fastening schedules, and you can see why a contractor who doesn’t know unincorporated Palm Beach County specifics will miss something. That’s the procedural reality that trips up out-of-area crews here, and it’s exactly the kind of thing Barrett & Sons plans for before the first estimate is written.

FAQs About Construction in Boca Del Mar
Yes, for nearly every project we do. Because Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County, permits route through the county’s building department, not the City of Boca Raton. We pull every eligible permit and schedule every inspection. The inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s the way it should be.
Most Kitchen Remodeling - Boca Del Mar projects run between $35,000 and $85,000 depending on layout changes, cabinet grade, and whether the project triggers hurricane-compliance upgrades like impact-rated windows or roof-to-wall connector retrofits. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Probably, if your home was built before the post-Andrew code updates. Many Boca Del Mar homes from the 1970s and 1980s need roof-to-wall connector retrofits and impact-rated openings once a project crosses certain county cost thresholds. We include these in your written estimate, not as an afterthought when the inspector shows up.
Kitchen remodels typically run six to ten weeks. Bathrooms run three to six weeks. Roof replacements are usually done in two to five days depending on weather. Additions and ADUs run three to eight months depending on scope and county review times. We’ll give you a written timeline before anything is signed.
Because they assume Boca Raton city rules apply. Boca Del Mar is unincorporated, so Palm Beach County inspectors, scheduling portals, and fee structures control the process. A contractor who doesn’t know that distinction gets a failed inspection on nearly every larger job. We know the county system, and we schedule for it from day one. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us about your specific project.

What Boca Del Mar Customers Say
"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
- Camila Fuentes"Beautiful work and honest pricing throughout. The project ran about three weeks past the estimate waiting on the cabinets, which was the supplier rather than him, though the delay was still real."
- Genevieve Ashcombe"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
