At Rheace Contracting, we bring firefighter-owned integrity and second-generation craftsmanship to the Town of Palm Beach, one of the most prestigious residential enclaves in the world. From the historic mansions along Ocean Boulevard and North County Road to the gated estates on the Intracoastal, Palm Beach is synonymous with heritage, exclusivity, and architectural sophistication.
Building or renovating here is unlike anywhere else. The Town of Palm Beach enforces strict preservation and architectural standards, while its oceanfront location demands advanced hurricane resilience and flood mitigation. We specialize in ICF custom homes, luxury renovations, and bespoke additions that respect Palm Beach’s storied character while introducing modern innovations in energy efficiency, smart home technology, and structural resilience.
In Palm Beach’s Estate Section, where some of the island’s most iconic oceanfront mansions reside, we deliver homes engineered for hurricane resilience and timeless elegance. Elevated foundations, impact-rated glass, and corrosion-resistant roofing ensure durability, while bespoke interiors reflect the refined lifestyles of Palm Beach’s most discerning residents.
The North End offers a mix of waterfront estates and family residences, prized for their privacy and access to both the ocean and Intracoastal. Here, we create homes that blend seamless indoor-outdoor living with advanced building science, ensuring that luxury and resilience go hand in hand.
Palm Beach’s Midtown and Historic Districts include Mediterranean Revival and Addison Mizner–inspired residences that are integral to the island’s heritage. We specialize in sensitive renovations that modernize interiors while preserving architectural exteriors, securing approvals through the town’s strict preservation boards.
Palm Beach falls within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Our ICF homes are engineered to exceed these requirements, offering structural integrity up to 250 mph wind ratings, reinforced roofing systems, and whole-home backup power solutions.
With exposure to both the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal, Palm Beach estates face significant salt-air deterioration. We combat this with marine-grade materials, stainless fasteners, and corrosion-resistant window and roof systems designed for coastal durability.
Oceanfront and Intracoastal estates often sit within flood-prone areas. We engineer elevated foundations, comprehensive drainage systems, and waterproofing strategies that protect homes from storm surge and rising tides.
The Architectural Commission (ARCOM) oversees design integrity across Palm Beach. We handle the entire ARCOM approval process, ensuring projects honor Palm Beach’s architectural heritage while integrating modern systems and finishes.
Through our five-step Rheace Approach, we deliver a discreet, concierge-level building experience for Palm Beach clients. We begin with a private consultation to define your vision, then collaborate with top architects and designers to craft detailed plans. Our team manages permitting, preservation board approvals, and ARCOM submissions with precision. During construction, our superintendent oversees every aspect, ensuring craftsmanship that meets Palm Beach’s highest expectations. At completion, we provide a white-glove walkthrough, warranty support, and long-term care, ensuring your experience is as refined as your residence.
