Condo renovation on Palm Beach.
GCS Palm Beach renovates condo units on Palm Beach island, from one bath to the whole unit. Philip works to both approvals a unit needs: the building’s and the Town’s.
CGC057454 (opens the state record) · Licensed since 1994 · On the island daily for about 25 years
One bath or the whole unit.
A kitchen, a bath, or every room at once. Any job on the island means the condo too.
The building says yes. Then the Town.
A board approval is not a permit. The Town still issues one, and for these items it wants the association’s approval letter with the application.
In a co-op, the application takes two signature pages: the owner’s, notarized, and the co-op’s. Combining two units takes a recorded Unity of Title.
- Window and door replacement
- Floor penetrations for plumbing
- A new in-unit washer and dryer
- A new tankless water heater
- A new EV charger
- Any exterior work

Each association sets its own rules for contractors and the season. Check yours first; the Town’s hours apply on top of them.

Questions
Does a condo renovation need a Town permit if the board approved it?
Yes. The Town of Palm Beach permit is separate from the board’s approval. All exterior work, and many interior items, also need the association’s approval letter with the permit.
Do I need the association’s approval to replace condo windows?
Yes. Window and door replacement needs the condo’s approval letter and a Town permit, with product approvals and wind pressures calculated for 170 mph, Exposure D.
Can condo work happen on winter Saturdays?
Only quiet interior work, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in multi-family buildings south of Sloan’s Curve (not Ibis Isle) whose board approved it with a letter on file at the Town.
What if the association stops work during season?
The Town Code lets a condo unit’s construction schedule be extended by the months the association requires work to stop.
