Homes we work on in Boca Raton
Boca's housing runs from 1920s Mizner homes to high-rise condos. Old Floresta, started in the mid-1920s, still has some of the Spanish Mediterranean Revival houses Addison Mizner designed there, and it became the city's first historic district. It sits close to Mizner Park and downtown.
Along A1A, condo towers line the barrier island between the ocean and Lake Boca Raton and the Intracoastal. Walls and ceilings in these buildings are often concrete, so a TV, mirror or curtain rod goes in with masonry anchors. Mounting a TV on concrete adds $49 to the install.
West of I-95 are the big country club communities, from Boca Pointe and Broken Sound to Boca West, which covers more than 1,500 acres. Many carry a Boca Raton address without being inside the city limits. Homes there range from villas to large custom estates.
Country clubs, condos and vendor paperwork
Country club communities in Boca commonly ask vendors to register with the community, keep a certificate of insurance on file and stick to posted work hours, and many gates want the owner to call in each visit. Send us the requirements when you book.
Oceanfront and Intracoastal condo buildings usually add another layer: a certificate of insurance that often has to name the association, a reserved service elevator, protected hallways and set weekday hours. Some want a few days' notice. We work with your building manager so the visit doesn't stall at the front desk.
If you have a designer on the job, we can coordinate placement and hardware with them directly and send photos of the finished work to everyone who needs them.
Jobs we get asked for most
On the barrier island, salt spray corrodes balcony hardware, slider latches and screen frames faster than it does inland. When we replace those parts, we use stainless or coated hardware where it's available.
We don't do electrical, so chandeliers, sconces and new outlets go to an electrician, and we don't replace exterior doors or windows. For those, we'll point you to a licensed contractor.

Seasons in Boca Raton
Season here runs roughly November to April, and fall is when many owners come back to a condo or club home that has been closed since spring. That's the time for an arrival visit: running water through every fixture, checking under sinks, swapping the AC filter, testing battery smoke detectors and fixing whatever broke while the place sat. Snowbird arrival and departure visits start at $149.
Summer is when Boca condos and club homes sit empty and humidity goes to work on them: mildew, swollen doors, musty closets. Regular home watch visits with a photo report catch those problems while they are still small.
Hurricane season opens June 1 and closes November 30, and many condo associations have their own rules on shutters and on what must come off a balcony before a storm, so check yours. In houses, we install your panels or accordion shutters and stow patio furniture, with prep starting at $299 for up to 10 openings.

Questions from Boca Raton homeowners
Can you work in my oceanfront condo building?
Yes. Ask management for their vendor package and forward it to us. It usually spells out the insurance certificate wording, elevator booking and allowed hours, and we get the certificate to the office before the visit.
Can you drill into concrete condo walls and ceilings?
Yes, with a hammer drill and masonry anchors sized for the load. Some buildings restrict drilling into ceilings and floors because of post-tensioned slabs, so check with management before we drill overhead.
Do you work with interior designers?
Yes. A designer can book us directly and mark placements, and we follow the layout. We confirm heights and spacing with a level and laser before drilling, so nothing gets moved twice.
Can you check on my Boca home while I'm away for the summer?
Yes. Home watch every other week is $189 a month, or $289 for weekly visits, each with a photo report. After a storm, home watch clients get a post-storm check with photos for $99.
