Luxury Construction in Highland Beach
Highland Beach is three miles of barrier island between Boca Raton and Delray Beach — every property near the ocean, the Intracoastal, or both. Construction here is unforgiving of shortcuts, which is why the town's homeowners work with Xpert Construction Group, the area's leading licensed design-build contractor. With Florida Certified Residential Contractor license CRC 1335930 and 25+ years of combined experience, we deliver coastal construction done right: correct engineering, corrosion-resistant materials, and full hurricane protection as the baseline, not an upgrade.
Our island clients value a single accountable team for design, engineering, permitting, and construction — see why homeowners choose Xpert for exactly that. Whether you're planning a whole-home renovation of a waterfront residence or replacing an aging structure with new construction, we bring white-glove project management to one of Florida's most exclusive addresses.
Building in Highland Beach: Local Knowledge Matters
Highland Beach runs narrow and linear along State Road A1A, with single-family estates concentrated on the Intracoastal side — including the waterfront streets of Bel Lido Isle, where nearly every home has dockage — and oceanfront residences and condominiums to the east. Much of the island's single-family stock dates from the 1960s through 1990s, making full renovation and teardown-rebuild the dominant project types. The town operates its own building department, and its small size means reviews are thorough and detail-oriented. Oceanfront parcels seaward of Florida's Coastal Construction Control Line add state permitting requirements, and flood-zone elevation, seawall condition, and wind-borne debris provisions of the Florida Building Code shape nearly every project we build here.
What we build in Highland Beach
Our Services in Highland Beach, FL
Custom Home Building
On a barrier island where buildable lots are finite, teardown-rebuild is often the path to a truly modern home. We design and build Highland Beach residences engineered for their exposure — elevated foundations where required, impact glazing throughout, corrosion-resistant assemblies — managing town and, where applicable, state coastal permitting from day one.
Custom Home Building →Home Remodeling
Highland Beach homes from the 1960s–1990s often pair irreplaceable water frontage with dated interiors and tired systems. We renovate them completely — reconfigured plans, new kitchens and baths, upgraded electrical and plumbing, full impact protection — with logistics planned for A1A access and the town's detailed inspection process.
Home Remodeling →Kitchen Remodeling
With the Atlantic or Intracoastal outside the window, a Highland Beach kitchen should frame the view, not fight it. We design open kitchens with custom cabinetry, marine-grade-minded hardware, natural stone, and layouts oriented to water and terrace, handling structural openings and town permits through our own licensed team.
Kitchen Remodeling →Home Additions
Expanding on a barrier-island lot demands careful attention to setbacks, lot coverage, and flood-zone rules before design begins. We build additions — water-facing living space, guest suites, elevated terraces — engineered to coastal wind-load standards and integrated seamlessly with the existing residence, with every town approval managed for you.
Home Additions →ADU Construction
Guest quarters make sense on Highland Beach's larger Intracoastal estates, where visiting family and seasonal guests are a way of life. We build attached in-law suites and cabana-style guest spaces with kitchens and baths, verifying the town's zoning and accessory-structure rules for your parcel before committing to a design.
ADU Construction →Highland Beach Construction FAQs
What's different about building in Highland Beach versus Boca Raton or Delray?
Highland Beach is a small barrier-island town with its own building department, so reviews are detailed and personal — and every lot carries coastal considerations like flood-zone elevation and wind-borne debris requirements. We plan for that from the start, which keeps projects moving where less experienced contractors stall.
Do oceanfront Highland Beach projects need state approval?
Sometimes. Work seaward of Florida's Coastal Construction Control Line requires a state permit in addition to town approvals. Whether your project triggers it depends on the parcel and the scope, and we determine that early in design so the schedule reflects reality rather than best-case guesses.
Can you renovate a 1970s Intracoastal home in Bel Lido Isle?
Yes — that's a signature project type for us. These homes have exceptional water frontage and dockage but often need everything: layout, systems, windows, roofing. We renovate them into modern waterfront residences, and if the structure or elevation can't support your goals, we'll price a rebuild honestly.
How do you protect a home from salt air during and after construction?
Material selection is the answer. We specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and structural connectors, impact-rated aluminum or vinyl glazing systems designed for coastal exposure, and finishes proven in salt environments. Combined with proper detailing against wind-driven rain, these choices are what let a barrier-island home age gracefully.
