Home Additions in Palm Beach Gardens
Many Palm Beach Gardens homes are reaching the age where owners want more space, not just a refresh. Expanded primary suites, enclosed lanais, and casitas top the list. Adding square footage here means clearing two layers of HOA review on top of city permitting, which is the part most contractors underplan. Palmhouse Design & Build plans for both layers from the start.
We are a licensed design-build firm (Florida CGC1537109) with 20+ years of high-end residential work in Palm Beach County. Design, approvals, and construction run under one contract and one project manager.
Whose Approval You Actually Need
A Palm Beach Gardens addition clears City of Palm Beach Gardens permitting. In many master-planned communities it also clears two layers of HOA review. That means the master association plus a sub-association for your neighborhood. Miss either one and the project stops. We confirm whose sign-off you need before we design. Then we prepare each submittal so the reviews run in order, not in circles.
30-Year-Old Homes Hitting Their First Major Refresh
Many of these communities were built between the late 1970s and the early 2000s. So a large share of homes are now passing 30 years. That is exactly when additions and layout changes cluster. We are set up for that work. We verify the existing structure, match the addition to the original home, and update systems while the walls are open.
Lanai enclosures and casita or guest additions are the most common expansion requests here. If your lot backs a golf course, view easements and rear-setback sensitivity can limit where an addition is allowed. We check those constraints before we draw, so the plan we present is one your community and the city will actually approve.
Running It Without Surprises
You get a written scope and price before work begins, and any change order waits for your written approval. Every trade works under our contract, so you have one agreement and one accountable team. Permitting and HOA review are defined phases that finish before demolition, which keeps the schedule honest.
One project manager runs the addition from submittal to final walkthrough and answers the phone along the way. Crews protect floors, landscaping, and driveways and keep an occupied home clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What HOA approvals does a Palm Beach Gardens addition require?
City of Palm Beach Gardens permitting plus, in many communities, two layers of HOA review: the master association and a sub-association for your neighborhood. We confirm exactly whose sign-off you need before we design.
Can I enclose a lanai or add a casita in my community?
Usually yes, and both are common requests here. We check your community’s rules and your lot’s setbacks first, so the plan we present is one that can be approved.
Do golf-course-view lots have extra restrictions on additions?
They can. View easements and rear-setback sensitivity may limit where an addition can go. We check these constraints before drawing plans.
How long does two-layer HOA review take?
It varies by community, since the master and sub-association each review separately. We treat both as defined phases and build the real timeline into your schedule.
