Handyman, Painting & Lock Services in Westlake
Westlake became Palm Beach County's 39th municipality in 2016, on land that was farm acreage in the Seminole Improvement District before Minto bought 3,800 acres. It is the fastest-growing place in the county: five residents in 2010, 906 in 2020, and thousands of finished homes now. Almost everything here is under ten years old, which changes the work. Palm Home Pros spends less time on repairs in Westlake and more on mounting, assembly, closets, blinds, and rekeying after closing.
Working in Westlake
Housing stock
Westlake housing is new: townhomes, single-family homes, and estate homes from Minto and other builders, plus the Cresswind section aimed at active adults. Concrete block outside, framed walls inside, tile or shingle roofs depending on the collection. Repairs are rare at this age. Demand here is fit-out work, paint changes off the builder palette, and hardware upgrades.
Associations and access
Westlake's communities are association governed with published exterior standards, so front door colors, exterior paint, and anything visible from the street usually need board approval before work starts. Gate and access rules apply to service vehicles. We work from the approved palette your association publishes and can keep a certificate of insurance on file.
New homes still need a first fit-out
A Westlake house arrives with bare walls, empty closets, and few window coverings. The first year is when owners want the television mounted, the pantry and garage shelved, curtain rods hung level across wide openings, and flat-pack furniture put together. Outside walls in these homes are concrete block and the interior partitions are framed, so anchoring is straightforward once we locate the right spot.
Builder colors and new keys
Most Westlake homes were painted in the builder's standard palette, so an accent wall or a repainted office is the common first change. New owners also rekey. A production build passes through many hands before closing, and a rekey of the front and side doors is a cheap way to end that. We can match several doors to one key and fit a keypad lock the same visit.

Questions from Westlake
Is it worth rekeying a brand new Westlake home?
Most owners do it. During a production build the keys pass through several trades, a sales office, and often a cleaning crew before closing. Rekeying the existing cylinders takes minutes per door, keeps the builder hardware in place, and lets you carry one key for the front, side, and garage entry door. It is the cheapest security change you can make.
Can you mount a TV on a Westlake block wall?
Yes. Outside walls in these homes are concrete block, so a mount there uses masonry anchors rather than wood screws. Interior partitions are framed, and we locate the framing before drilling. Tell us the screen size and whether you want cables concealed inside the wall, since that changes the approach and the quote.
Do you handle closet and garage shelving in new Westlake homes?
Yes, that is one of the most common first-year requests here. Builder closets are usually a single shelf and rod. We install shelving systems, add a second hanging level, and put up garage or pantry shelving anchored into block or framing. We measure on site and quote before we start rather than working from a drawing.
Do I need approval from my Westlake association to paint?
For anything visible from outside, usually yes. Westlake communities publish exterior standards and an approved color list, and front doors and exterior walls fall under them. Interior painting does not. If you have the approved palette, send it with your request and we will quote to those colors so nothing has to be redone.
