Mizner Mediterranean fronts with deep arched entries. The best architecture we get to work with. See our guide to porch decorating in Boca Raton.
Christmas in Boca Raton, booking now. Custom Christmas starts at $1,500 for the front porch, $2,500 for porch and tree and $3,500 for the whole home, with design, travel and the January takedown in the price. Arched Mizner entries take garland and a centered wreath better than any other front in South Florida, and we are holding early-December dates for Old Floresta, Royal Palm and Broken Sound. See the Christmas starting points or get your design and price.
Boca Raton is the most fun city on our list to design for, because Addison Mizner set the template a hundred years ago and the city never really left it. Rustic stucco, arched openings, wrought iron, barrel tile, and deep shaded entries show up everywhere from the landmark neighborhoods to nineteen-eighties tract streets.
Old Floresta is the purest version. Mizner laid it out in the mid-1920s, it became Boca's first historic district in 1980, and its tree-canopied streets carry Mediterranean Revival homes with clay-tile roofs, arched doorways, and courtyards. An arched entry is the single best surface in seasonal decorating: garland follows the curve, a wreath centers naturally, and the depth of the opening gives real pumpkins the shade they need to make it through October. We will happily talk a client here out of a bigger package, because the architecture is already doing most of the work.
The country club communities are a different job. Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, Woodfield, and Broken Sound are guard-gated estates where the frontage is wide, the landscaping is professionally maintained, and the display has to hold its own against all of it. That is Package 1 and custom territory, and at Christmas it is where the whole-home package makes sense. Boca is Zone 3, a $50 delivery line, on normal scheduling with any package available.
Most of our Boca Raton work is east of I-95 and inside the gates. Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, The Sanctuary, Boca Bath and Tennis, Les Jardins and the Estates section between Federal and the Intracoastal are the whole-home and custom jobs: a lit entry you can see from the water, trees at the door, garland the length of a two-story colonnade, and the interior rooms where the hosting happens. Woodfield, Broken Sound, Boca West, St. Andrews and Long Lake Estates are the same scale of house behind a guardhouse, which means we clear the gate list ahead of time and install while you are at work. Old Floresta and the streets around Mizner Park are the opposite: smaller, older, and beautiful, where a front porch package on an arched entry is all the house needs.
Seasonal decorating in Boca Raton follows the social calendar more than the weather. Christmas porches go up the week after Thanksgiving so they are finished before the first party, the whole-home clients add the January teardown so nothing is still up when the season turns, and fall displays go in the first half of October to make the Halloween weekend. Price any of it with the quote tool, or send us the address and we will quote a custom display against the house.
Timing in Boca runs on the season in the older sense of the word. The country club communities fill up from late autumn, houses that were quiet in September are full by December, and a lot of our Boca clients want the porch done before they arrive rather than after. If that is your situation, book the install for the week before you land and give us a key or gate access, and you will pull into a finished house. We do the same thing in reverse for January teardowns.
We install all three seasons in Boca Raton: fall and halloween, christmas, easter and spring. Design, materials, and install are in the package price, and delivery is a separate line priced to your zone. Price yours with the quote tool, or call 954-787-4963.
