At Rheace Contracting, we bring firefighter-owned integrity and second-generation craftsmanship to Palm City, one of Martin County’s most sought-after residential areas. Known for its St. Lucie Riverfront estates, golf course communities, and large-acreage properties, Palm City is ideal for families and individuals seeking both luxury and privacy.
Building or renovating in Palm City requires expertise in coastal engineering, flood management, and multi-structure planning. We specialize in ICF custom homes, high-end renovations, and bespoke additions that deliver storm-ready strength, energy efficiency, and timeless design — creating homes built to last for generations.
Harbour Ridge offers luxury residences paired with private marina access and golf amenities. We design and build ICF homes here that integrate dockside living, elevated foundations, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces, tailored for riverfront lifestyles.
Communities like Piper’s Landing and Martin Downs are known for expansive golf course estates. We specialize in both new builds and large-scale renovations that transform existing homes into modern luxury retreats, complete with gourmet kitchens, spa-inspired baths, and energy-efficient systems.
In Four Rivers and other riverfront enclaves, properties demand careful planning for flood mitigation, dockage, and storm readiness. Our homes combine ICF strength with architectural elegance, ensuring both safety and sophistication.
Palm City is also home to large-acreage lots where families build private estates. We design and construct multi-structure compounds that may include main residences, guest houses, barns, and detached garages — all engineered for resilience and functionality.
Palm City’s coastal exposure requires compliance with Florida’s HVHZ standards. We exceed these with ICF walls engineered for 250 mph winds, reinforced roof systems, and impact glass that ensures superior hurricane resilience.
Waterfront homes along the St. Lucie River are often located within flood zones. We engineer elevated stem wall foundations, drainage systems, and waterproofing solutions to protect against storm surge and rising water levels.
Riverfront properties are exposed to salt-laden air that accelerates deterioration. We use marine-grade materials, stainless fasteners, and coastal-rated roofing and window systems to extend durability.
Large tracts of land require thoughtful integration of utilities, driveways, and drainage across the property. We coordinate entire estate layouts to ensure functionality without compromising luxury design.
Through our five-step Rheace Approach, we simplify complex builds into a seamless client experience. We begin with a private consultation to capture your lifestyle needs, then collaborate with elite architects and designers to create tailored plans. Our team manages permitting, HOA and ARB approvals, and site-specific engineering for riverfront or acreage properties. During construction, our superintendent oversees every detail with precision, and at completion, we deliver your home with a white-glove walkthrough, warranty service, and long-term support.
