Who is responsible for the entry?

Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work off.

Is the paperwork the same as Miami?

No. Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it is a different product-approval set, and permitting is administered locally on top of that.

Why is the spec different up here?

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that governs Miami-Dade and Broward, so the approval route the counties south of it use is the wrong one.

Will it actually fit my driveway?

We measure on site and draw the gate on your entrance before anything is cut.

Boynton Beach · Palm Beach County

The first question is never the style, it is the opening. Width, slope, where the cars stop and how much room the leaves have to move through decide what can be built, and all four get measured rather than assumed.

Frontages inside a planned community tend to repeat, and where an association governs the street its architectural guidelines usually decide the envelope the gate has to sit inside.

Planned communities repeat — the same frontage width, the same setback, and often the same entry problem several hundred times over.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Boynton Beach actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.
