First settled in 1918 as the town of Hillsboro, the community south of Lake Okeechobee was renamed Belle Glade and incorporated in 1928, just months before the region’s catastrophic hurricane that same year. It remains an inland farming town at the heart of the Everglades Agricultural Area, built around sugarcane, sweet corn, and vegetable production rather than a beach economy, and its housing stock reflects that history: modest single-family and block homes built for working families, many of which need practical, budget-conscious updates rather than resort-style finishes.

Elbaz Construction approaches Belle Glade projects with that reality in mind: solid, code-compliant renovations that make a home more functional and efficient, whether that means a kitchen or bathroom update, added living space for a multigenerational household, or replacing aging roofing and windows. We manage the permitting and construction so Glades-area homeowners get the same professional process as anywhere else in the county, without paying for finishes that don’t fit the home.
