Palm Beach specifics
What Is Different About Doing This in Palm Beach County
You are one county north of the strictest code in the United States and it does not apply to you. What does apply is a wider approved field, a real debris requirement, and a design review on the island that decides appearance before the code decides anything.
Give us the address. In this county the address decides the pressure, the review, and often the price — before the window does.
