For Boca Del Mar condos, villas and houses, Rising Roof Services is a roofing contractor about 15 minutes away, close enough to check a leak the same afternoon it shows up. We fix flat breezeway roofs, re-roof tile and shingle homes, and file every permit with Palm Beach County, since this 33433 community sits outside Boca Raton's city limits.
Plenty of people assume Boca Del Mar is part of Boca Raton. It isn't. This community a few miles southwest of downtown Boca is unincorporated Palm Beach County, and its roofs, mostly on 1970s and 1980s condos, villas and single-family homes, are permitted and inspected by the county.
It's roughly 15 minutes from our office, down Military Trail or Powerline Road to Palmetto Park Road. That short run makes it easy to fit in a leak check right after a storm rolls through.

Aging condos, villas and mixed roof sections
Much of Boca Del Mar went up during the south-county building boom of the 1970s and 1980s. Condo buildings and villa rows from that period often pair pitched shingle or tile sections with flat roofs over breezeways, stairwells and porches. Those flat sections are usually first to go, with ponding water, blistered membrane and sluggish drains.
Single-family homes, including those around Montoya Circle and Del Prado Circle west of Powerline Road, lean toward concrete tile and dimensional shingles, and many are on their second roof. Where a house still has its original covering or a 1990s re-roof, the underlayment and flashing are likely near the end of their useful life.
Because the area is unincorporated, re-roof permits go to the county rather than the City of Boca Raton's building department. Condo and villa associations also require approval before work begins, and in many buildings they control the roof entirely.
There are often two layers of association here. The Boca Del Mar Improvement Association, the master association with its office on SW 18th Street, runs an Architectural Review Committee that controls exterior appearance, and many homes also sit in a sub-association with its own rules. A roof that changes color, material or profile usually needs a sign-off before we can pull the county permit, so we gather tile samples and product sheets early.
- Villa and condo rows off Camino Del Mar: mixed pitched and flat roofs, where the joint between the two is the classic leak point
- Montoya Circle and Del Prado Circle: single-family tile and shingle homes, many on a second roof and due for new underlayment
- Along the Palmetto Park Road corridor: busier streets and older buildings, where material staging has to be planned around traffic and tenants
Boca Del Mar housing types and the first roof component to fail
More than ninety subdivisions share this master-planned community, but nearly all of them fall into four roof patterns.
1970s–80s condo buildings off Camino Del Mar and Palmetto Park Road
Typical roof: Shingle or tile mansard fronts with built-up or modified bitumen over the breezeways
What fails first: Breezeway drains clog first, and the membrane seams beside them blister and split
Flat Roof RepairAttached villa and patio-home rows
Typical roof: A single tile or shingle roof carried over several attached homes
What fails first: Flashing where each party wall meets the deck, plus valleys two neighbors share
HOA & Villa Roof RepairSingle-family homes around Montoya and Del Prado Circles
Typical roof: Concrete tile or dimensional shingle, often a second roof installed in the 1990s or 2000s
What fails first: Underlayment at valleys and plumbing vents, with shingle tabs starting to lift on exposed corners
Roof Repair (Shingle & Tile)Fairway lots along Boca Del Mar Country Club and the former Mizner Trail course
Typical roof: Concrete tile facing open golf-course wind
What fails first: Cracked field tile from wind and stray golf balls, then water running under the broken pieces
Tile Roof RepairRoofing permits in Boca Del Mar, FL at a glance
- Who issues the permit
- Palm Beach County PZB Building Division for unincorporated parcels; a few annexed pockets nearby belong to the City of Boca Raton
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
- No — but wind-borne debris rules and Florida product approvals still apply.
- Other approvals
- Boca Del Mar Improvement Association Architectural Review Committee, plus your own sub-association’s rules
- The master association covers roughly 2,350 acres and 90-plus subdivisions, so the ARC sign-off often travels with a second approval from your building or villa board.
- County applications and inspection results live in the ePZB system, and the address history there usually tells you when your current roof was permitted.
- A single-family tile or shingle re-roof may qualify for the county’s expedited re-roof route when the package is complete at submission.
- County inspectors check the dry-in before the tile or shingles cover it, then return for a final, so the job is scheduled around both visits.
Procedures and fees change — the building office for your address has the final word, and we confirm requirements before every job.
Around Palmetto Park and Powerline
The community spreads south of Palmetto Park Road on both sides of Powerline Road, reaching down toward SW 18th Street, with Boca Grove Plantation and the Via Verde area just to the north. The neighborhoods around Montoya and Del Prado Circles are close-knit and walkable, and nearly everything here falls within ZIP 33433.
A typical Boca Del Mar call: a second-floor condo owner sees water dripping from a light fixture after a summer downpour. Upstairs, the flat roof over the unit is holding water at a clogged drain, and the membrane has cracked at a nearby seam. The repair means clearing the drain, fixing the seam, and suggesting the association budget for a broader flat-roof overhaul.
The community grew up around golf. Boca Del Mar Country Club and the former Mizner Trail course shaped street layouts, so many homes back onto fairways or open green space. Those lots catch more wind than a tight inland street, and stray golf balls are an occasional, real cause of cracked tile on the fairway side.

What shapes a roofing price in Boca Del Mar
- Two approvals before one permit
- Sample boards, product sheets and the wait for both the ARC and your sub-association come before the county application, and the schedule reflects that.
- Pitched and flat sections on one building
- Many condos need two systems, tile or shingle plus a low-slope membrane, and the transition between them takes careful flashing work of its own.
- Shared rooflines
- On villa rows, the cost of a repair may be split among owners, and new tile has to blend with the units on either side.
- Occupied buildings and tight parking lots
- Staging a dumpster in a condo lot, notifying residents and protecting walkways add planning time that a single-family driveway doesn’t need.

Boca Del Mar roofing FAQs
Is Boca Del Mar part of the City of Boca Raton?
No. Boca Del Mar is unincorporated even though mail is addressed to Boca Raton. Roofing permits and inspections are handled by Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning and Building rather than the city. We verify jurisdiction from the parcel record before every job, because a few nearby pockets have been annexed into the city over the years.
Who is responsible for my condo's roof?
In most condominiums the roof is common property, so the association maintains it and must approve any roofing work. Villa and townhome communities vary; in some, owners handle the roof over their own unit under association rules. Check your declaration or ask management. We work with both associations and individual owners, depending on who controls the roof.
Why do the flat sections leak more than the rest of the roof?
Low-slope roofs drain slowly, so water sits longer and finds any weakness in seams, flashing or drains. On older buildings the membrane has also endured decades of sun and heat. Keeping drains clear, repairing blisters and seams early, and replacing worn membrane on a planned schedule prevent most of the leaks we see on these sections.
Do I need Boca Del Mar association approval before replacing my roof?
Usually, yes. The Boca Del Mar Improvement Association's Architectural Review Committee controls exterior appearance, and many homes also belong to a sub-association with its own rules. A like-for-like roof may be simpler, but a change in color, tile profile or material generally needs approval before the county permit is pulled. We help assemble the samples and paperwork.
How old are most roofs in Boca Del Mar?
Much of Boca Del Mar was built in the 1970s and 1980s, so most buildings are on at least their second roof. The age that matters is the current covering and its underlayment, which you can often find in the county permit history. We check that record and the roof itself before recommending repair or replacement.
Can I re-roof just my own villa in Boca Del Mar?
Sometimes. It depends on your sub-association's declaration and on how the roof is built. Where one roofline runs across several villas, a single-unit replacement needs a clean tie-in at the party walls and tile that matches the neighbors, and the ARC still reviews the product. We look at the documents and the roof, then tell you whether a solo project or a shared one makes more sense.
