Building in Boca Raton – Prestige, Lifestyle & Coastal Resilience

At Rheace Contracting, we bring firefighter-owned integrity and second-generation craftsmanship to Boca Raton, one of South Florida’s most prestigious residential destinations. Known for its world-class golf clubs, oceanfront estates, and Intracoastal properties, Boca blends exclusivity with coastal sophistication.

Building or renovating here requires more than standard construction. From hurricane winds and salt-air corrosion to HOA and ARB oversight in elite communities, projects demand a builder who combines structural expertise with white-glove service. We specialize in ICF custom homes, luxury renovations, and bespoke additions that meet Boca’s high standards of elegance, resilience, and performance.

Boca Raton Building Challenges & Our Solutions

Hurricanes & HVHZ Requirements

Boca Raton lies within Florida’s HVHZ zone. We exceed these requirements with ICF construction, reinforced roofing, impact glass, and full-home backup systems, ensuring unmatched storm resilience.

Salt-Air Corrosion

Oceanfront and Intracoastal homes face constant salt-air exposure. We use stainless fasteners, marine-grade coatings, and coastal-rated windows and roofing to ensure decades of durability.

Flood Zones & Intracoastal Properties

Waterfront estates require careful elevation and site planning. We design stem wall foundations, grading, and advanced drainage to mitigate storm surge and flooding.

HOA & ARB Oversight in Elite Communities

Boca Raton’s gated neighborhoods have strict architectural standards. We handle the entire HOA and ARB approval process, ensuring compliance while delivering a design that reflects your personal vision.

Through our five-step Rheace Approach, we deliver a concierge-level experience designed for Boca Raton’s discerning clientele. We begin with a private consultation, then collaborate with elite architects to craft detailed designs. Our team manages permitting, HOA, and ARB submissions, as well as coastal engineering and site-specific approvals. During construction, our superintendent ensures each phase is executed with precision. At completion, we provide a white-glove walkthrough, warranty service, and continued support.
