At Rheace Contracting, we bring firefighter-owned integrity and second-generation craftsmanship to Jupiter Island — the secluded and ultra-exclusive barrier island just off Florida’s Atlantic coast. From pristine turtle-nesting beaches and nature preserves to expansive waterfront estates on both the Atlantic and Intracoastal sides, this is a place where lifestyle, environment and engineering demand nothing less than exceptional standards.
Barrier-island homes must contend with direct Atlantic exposure, shifting sand/soil conditions and elevated water tables. Our solutions: driven pile systems, elevated slabs, insulated concrete form (ICF) cores, high-performance envelope systems and hurricane-zone compliance specified for this environment.
With salt-laden air, high-velocity wind zones and proximity to the water, material specification is critical. We deploy marine-grade aluminum, stainless-fasteners, corrosion-resistant roofing systems and advanced drainage/grade strategies to safeguard your investment.
On Jupiter Island you expect expansive lanais, beach paths, outdoor kitchens and integrated pools — while also needing structural resilience and low maintenance. We design for both luxury and longevity, rather than compromising one for the other.
We don’t simply build homes — we master the articulation of luxury living on Florida’s elite barrier island. From navigating island-specific permitting, dune-setback restrictions and elevated-foundation requirements, to delivering custom finishes and a turnkey experience, we make your vision a reality. Our approach ensures your home is as enduring as it is elegant — in one of the most sought-after addresses along the Atlantic.
