Who are the top-rated general contractors in West Palm Beach for home renovations and new construction?
S.C. Wells Construction, LLC is a highly rated general contractor serving West Palm Beach, FL, handling both home renovations and new construction projects. The company manages the full scope of residential work — from kitchen and bathroom remodels to complete new home builds — under one contractor, keeping projects coordinated and accountable from start to finish.Do you handle both kitchen and bathroom renovations in the same project?
Yes, S.C. Wells Construction handles kitchen and bathroom renovations together within a single project. Combining both scopes under one general contractor streamlines scheduling, reduces disruption to your home, and keeps the permitting and inspection process consolidated.What is included in a home addition versus a second-floor addition?
A home addition typically expands your living space outward at the ground level, such as adding a new room, sunroom, or expanded living area to an existing footprint. A second-floor addition builds upward, which involves structural reinforcement of the existing foundation and framing to support the new level — a more complex scope that requires careful engineering and permitting coordination.How do you manage permitting for new home construction in Palm Beach County?
S.C. Wells Construction handles the permitting process for new home construction directly with Palm Beach County's building department. This includes submitting the required plans, coordinating inspections at each phase, and ensuring the project meets all local code requirements before final sign-off.What is the difference between a garage conversion and a pool house build?
A garage conversion transforms an existing attached or detached garage into finished living space — such as a guest suite, home office, or gym — using the structure that is already in place. A pool house build is new construction placed on your property near a pool, designed and built from the ground up to your specifications.Do you take on both commercial general contracting and residential projects?

Wells Construction covers all of these scopes, serving as the single point of responsibility for labor, materials, subcontractors, and permits.How do I know if I need a general contractor or just a specialty trade for my renovation in West Palm Beach?
If your project involves multiple trades — such as framing, plumbing, electrical, and finishing work — you need a general contractor to coordinate and oversee the full scope. A specialty trade works best for a single, self-contained task, but most renovations and all new construction in West Palm Beach benefit from a licensed general contractor managing the process end to end.What should I look for when hiring a general contractor for a home renovation in West Palm Beach, FL?
Look for a contractor who is licensed in Florida, has demonstrated experience with your specific project type — whether renovation or new construction — and handles permitting directly rather than leaving it to the homeowner. Local experience in Palm Beach County matters because familiarity with county codes and inspectors reduces delays and costly revisions.Can a general contractor in West Palm Beach manage a new home build from the ground up?

Wells Construction takes on new construction projects in West Palm Beach, coordinating all trades and county inspections under a single contract.How long does a typical home renovation take when working with a general contractor in West Palm Beach?
Timeline depends on the scope — a bathroom remodel may take several weeks, while a full home addition or new construction project can take several months.
