Highland Beach is technically more water than land, and the entire town has only two businesses, which tells you almost everything about how residential and how quiet this barrier island strip actually is. APEX Roofing of Delray Beach works Boca Highland’s condo towers and Grand Cay Estates’ single-family homes with that same low-key, no-inland-entry character respected.
Licensed, Permitted, and Built for a Town That’s Mostly Water
Every job is licensed and insured under Florida rules, with permits filed through the MGO Customer Portal, and construction scheduled within the Town’s strict hours: weekdays 8am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 3pm, never Sundays or holidays.
Knowing that Boca Highland’s five condo towers each carry separate HOA governance, that Grand Cay Estates runs a flat monthly fee around $566, and that the Town shares parts of its permitting infrastructure with neighboring Gulf Stream.
Association approvals get sorted before the crew shows up, not discovered halfway through, since nobody wants a stop-work order mid hurricane season.
Upgrades anchor the roof to the home’s structure more securely under Palm Beach County’s own wind-load requirements, often lowering insurance premiums once the inspection is filed correctly.
Boca Highland’s five mid-rise towers, Aberdeen Arms, Braemar Isle, Carron House, Dalton Place, and Evanton Baye, together hold 575 luxury condo units, each tower independently HOA-governed with its own secure entrance and roofing decisions made at the board level.
Grand Cay Estates offers single-family homes at a flat HOA fee of roughly $566 a month, a real contrast to the per-square-foot condo fee structure across the rest of the community.
Highland Beach Club, positioned centrally along South Ocean Boulevard, runs its own private beach club and concierge model, with exterior roofing changes subject to that association’s review.
Because the town runs barely over a mile long with the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, virtually every property here deals with genuine two-sided salt exposure, not just the buildings directly on the sand.
This whole area falls within Palm Beach County, which is not part of Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone the way Broward and Miami-Dade are, but carries its own strict wind-speed and product-approval standards. The Town’s own permitting runs through the Highland Beach Building Department at 3616 S Ocean Boulevard, with a recorded Notice of Commencement required once the job passes $5,000.
Gutters and waterproofing keep water away from the fascia and foundation, and roof leak detection finds the actual entry point instead of guessing, since a wrong patch just moves the same leak somewhere else. See gutter services.
Roof repair covers everything from storm damage to age-related wear, while a full roof replacement makes sense once a roof is past its service life. Every material used is verified against Palm Beach County’s own approved product list. Explore our roofing services.
A roof inspection before hurricane season catches small problems early, and roof maintenance between storms extends the life of tile, metal, or shingle systems without waiting for a leak to force the decision.
Considering solar alongside a new roof? APEX handles both under one license and one crew, and Boca Highland’s towers will typically require the same board-level review for rooftop equipment as they do for the roof itself. See solar installation.
Storm restoration work moves fast after a named system passes through, documenting damage for insurance claims while crews handle emergency tarping. See storm damage restoration.
Commercial roofing applies narrowly here given the Town’s two businesses, but condo and HOA roofing governs most of Boca Highland’s towers and townhomes.
Boca Highland’s five towers, Grand Cay Estates, and Highland Beach Club all run active HOA or condo association review for exterior roofing changes. APEX confirms your specific building or community’s requirements and coordinates that approval alongside your permit.
The Town’s Code of Ordinances Section 12-6 bars construction before 8am or after 6pm on weekdays, limits Saturday work to 9am to 3pm with strict noise restrictions, and prohibits it entirely on Sundays and holidays, a real scheduling factor worth planning around given how much of the town’s housing sits close together.
In most buildings, yes, the association manages roof replacement and major exterior repairs at the tower level through the monthly fee, so timing depends on that specific board’s capital plan.
Get the specific material brand and product line named in writing on your estimate, not just a category like tile or shingle. A contractor unwilling to commit to specifics on paper is leaving room to substitute later without you noticing.
Ask to see examples of completed work on comparable multi-story buildings specifically, since coordinating board approval and a two-sided salt exposure environment is a different standard than a typical inland reroof.
Document visible damage with photos where it’s safe to do so, then request a free inspection before filing an insurance claim, so the documentation is in place before an adjuster ever sees the roof.
