You need construction built to last in coastal conditions. You’ll find professionals who genuinely understand island logistics right here in Fishers Island—a community of 231 residents who depend on reliable services. That’s why we use fiber cement siding, which stands strong against harsh winters without cracking from freezing temperatures and resists moisture damage, keeping your home appealing and secure for years.
You need your construction project completed correctly from the start. This means no shortcuts, no surprises, and no contractors who disappear when ferry schedules become complex.
When your project concludes, you receive precisely what you envisioned—sturdy construction that withstands any weather. You’ll have materials that won’t fail after a single winter of salt air and storms.
Your contractor arrives as scheduled, communicates clearly about progress, and respects your property. You’ll trust that the work will endure because it’s built for island conditions from day one.
Rich’s Construction has assisted Fishers Island property owners for years. We understand the ferry schedules, the building codes, and what it takes to get materials delivered on time.
Building on an island differs significantly from mainland work. Salt air, storms, and logistical considerations are paramount. We’ve cultivated relationships with local suppliers and ferry services, ensuring your project progresses smoothly.
You’re not our trial run. We’ve addressed everything from urgent repairs to complete renovations, and we know what performs effectively here. Fishers Island, a small landmass off the coast of Connecticut, is accessible primarily by ferry. It’s known for its stunning natural beauty, including pristine beaches and diverse wildlife. The island experiences humid summers and cold, snowy winters, which influence construction material choices. Its housing trends often lean towards resilient, traditional coastal architecture that can withstand the unique environmental pressures.
First, we meet at your property to understand your exact requirements. We discuss your timeline, budget, and any particular concerns regarding island construction challenges.
Next, you receive a detailed estimate that covers all costs—materials, labor, and logistics. There are no unexpected costs related to ferry transportation or island delivery.
Once you approve the project, we coordinate all permits, material deliveries, and scheduling. We manage the ferry logistics so your project remains on track, regardless of weather or transportation delays.
During construction, we keep you informed of progress and promptly address any questions. When we finish, we review everything with you to confirm it meets your expectations.
