At Rheace Contracting, we bring firefighter-owned integrity and second-generation craftsmanship to Delray Beach, one of South Florida’s most desirable coastal towns. Known for its award-winning Atlantic Avenue downtown district, pristine beaches, and luxury waterfront communities, Delray offers a rare combination of vibrant city life and private coastal living.
Building or renovating here requires a unique balance — respecting the historic architecture of neighborhoods like Del-Ida Park and Seacrest while delivering modern hurricane resilience and efficiency for oceanfront and Intracoastal estates. We specialize in ICF custom homes, luxury renovations, and bespoke additions that protect, perform, and inspire, ensuring your Delray residence is as enduring as it is beautiful.
In Seagate and the oceanfront corridors, homeowners expect architectural masterpieces that balance elegance with protection against hurricane winds and salt-air corrosion. We design and build ICF estates with elevated foundations, impact-rated glass, and bespoke interiors that maximize views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Tropic Isle is prized for its deep-water canal homes with private docks. Our projects here focus on hurricane resilience and marine-grade finishes while integrating luxury features like smart dockside automation, outdoor kitchens, and resort-style pools.
In Del-Ida Park and Delray’s historic districts, homes often feature classic architecture with strict preservation oversight. We renovate and modernize these residences by preserving exteriors while upgrading interiors with luxury finishes, energy-efficient systems, and discreet hurricane protections.
Near Atlantic Avenue, demand is high for modern urban residences, condos, and lofts. We specialize in high-end renovations that transform these properties into luxury retreats while maintaining the vibrant character of Delray’s downtown lifestyle.
Delray falls within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Our ICF homes exceed these requirements with walls rated for 250 mph winds, reinforced roof systems, and impact-resistant fenestration, ensuring maximum resilience.
Proximity to the Atlantic means salt-air deterioration is a constant risk. We combat this with marine-grade coatings, stainless fasteners, and corrosion-resistant window and roof systems designed for decades of durability.
Oceanfront and Intracoastal homes often fall within flood zones. We engineer elevated stem wall foundations, site drainage systems, and waterproofing measures to mitigate storm surge and heavy rainfall risks.
In historic neighborhoods, exterior changes are tightly regulated. We manage the approval process with the City of Delray Beach’s preservation boards, ensuring compliance while delivering interiors that meet modern luxury standards.
Through our five-step Rheace Approach, we deliver a transparent, concierge-level experience. We begin with a private consultation to understand your vision, then partner with top architects to shape designs tailored to Delray’s unique character. Our team manages permitting, preservation board approvals, and HOA submissions as needed. During construction, our superintendent and vetted subcontractors oversee every phase with precision. At completion, we provide a white-glove walkthrough, warranty service, and continued client care, ensuring your Delray home is built for both luxury and longevity.
