Quality craftsmanship built to handle salt air, storms, and everything coastal living throws at your property.
You need construction work that lasts more than a season. Living on the coast means your property faces challenges most contractors never deal with – salt air that corrodes standard materials, wind that tests every joint, and moisture that finds its way into places you didn’t know existed.
When you work with a general contractor who understands Montauk, you get materials chosen specifically for coastal conditions. You get techniques that account for our weather patterns. Most importantly, you get work that’s still solid years later, not falling apart by the next summer.
Your time matters too. Projects start when promised, progress stays on schedule, and you’re not left wondering when someone will show up to finish the job. That’s the difference between working with a local contractor who has a reputation to maintain versus someone just passing through town.
Rich’s Construction has been handling Montauk’s unique building demands for years. We’ve seen what works here and what fails, which materials hold up to coastal conditions and which ones don’t make it through their first winter.
Our team knows the local building codes, has relationships with inspectors, and understands the permit process that can slow down projects when not handled properly. We’re licensed, insured, and established in this community – not just another contractor working our way down the coast.
When you call, you’re working with people who live and work here year-round. Your project isn’t just another job; it’s work that reflects on our reputation in a town where word travels fast.
Every project starts with understanding exactly what you need and what your property requires. We’ll walk through your space, discuss your goals, and identify any coastal-specific considerations that need to be addressed. No surprises later about “unexpected” conditions that any local contractor should anticipate.
You’ll receive a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to navigate town hall bureaucracy. Once work begins, you’ll know what’s happening each day and when to expect each phase of completion.
Communication doesn’t stop once we start swinging hammers. You’ll get regular updates on progress, any weather delays, and completion dates. When the work is finished, we walk through everything together to make sure it meets your expectations before considering the job complete.

Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, updating an aging property, or adding space for family gatherings, we handle residential construction projects from foundation to finish. Kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, deck construction, siding replacement, roofing repairs – the full range of work that keeps Montauk properties functional and valuable.
We source materials that make sense for coastal properties. That means choosing lumber, fasteners, and finishes that won’t deteriorate quickly in salt air. It means understanding which windows and doors provide the best protection during storms while still giving you the natural light and views you want.
Every project includes proper cleanup and disposal of old materials. Your property isn’t left looking like a construction zone, and you’re not stuck figuring out how to get rid of debris. Professional work includes professional cleanup – that’s not an extra service, it’s standard practice.
