At Rheace Contracting, we bring firefighter-owned integrity and second-generation craftsmanship to Jupiter Inlet Colony — a secluded seaside village nestled at the southern tip of Jupiter Island, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and the famed Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum. This one-of-a-kind community enjoys direct beach access, private marina facilities and intimate proximity to waterfront dining like Guanabanas and natural beauty at Blowing Rocks Nature Preserve. We specialize in new luxury ICF homes and major estate renovations tailored to meet the demands of salt-air exposure, elevated water views and hurricane-zone performance.
Located at the tip of Jupiter Island, Jupiter Inlet Colony falls within the high-velocity hurricane zone. Our ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction, impact-glass fenestration and elevated foundations exceed standard code requirements and deliver peace of mind.
With direct ocean frontage and marina environments, salt-air and marine corrosion are constant threats. We deploy marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel fasteners, corrosion-resistant roofing and exterior systems designed for decades of exposure.
Many lots in the Colony face potential tidal surge, storm-inlet surge or higher water tables. We engineer raised stem-walls, driven pile systems, integrated site grading and drainage to protect your residence.
Our team brings local knowledge of Jupiter and Jupiter Island’s unique conditions, refined luxury-home finishes and tight project control in one of South Florida’s most exclusive communities. From permitting coordination (including Cato’s Bridge views-sheds and inlet-access regulations) to full-service turnkey project delivery, we ensure your residence delivers both exclusivity and lasting performance.

A new custom home typically takes 12–18 months to complete. Historic renovations may take longer depending on approval processes, while interior renovations can often be completed in three to eight months.
