Edgemere general contractor

Most of Edgemere is one- and two-family detached houses on small lots near the bay, and a large share of them were rebuilt, elevated, or substantially repaired after Sandy. That history shapes every job. Before we touch framing or finishes, we confirm where your house sits relative to the FEMA flood maps, because work in an AE or VE zone, or a substantial improvement that crosses the value threshold, can trigger elevation requirements, flood vents, and breakaway construction below the design flood elevation. As your general contractor we sort out which rules apply on day one rather than mid-demo.

Running a project here means owning the paperwork and the sequence. We pull the right DOB permits for the scope, whether that is an Alt-2 for an interior renovation, an Alt-1 for a larger reconfiguration, or new plans for an addition, and we coordinate the licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC trades so inspections land in the correct order. In a flood zone that order matters more than usual: utilities and mechanicals often need to move above the flood elevation, and getting that wrong means tearing out finished work.

What makes Edgemere unique to build in is the overlap of salt-air exposure, high water table, and tight delivery access off Beach Channel Drive and the surrounding side streets. We plan material staging, moisture detailing, and corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing into the job from the start, then carry one point of accountability through to final sign-off so you are not chasing separate trades.
