Local expertise for coastal projects that stand up to whatever Long Island weather throws at them.
You bought in Saltaire for a reason. The location, the community, the lifestyle. But coastal living comes with construction challenges that most contractors just don’t get.
When your project is done right, you stop worrying about whether it’ll hold up to the next storm season. You stop wondering if corners were cut or if that addition will start showing problems in six months. You get to enjoy your property instead of constantly maintaining it.
That’s what happens when someone who actually understands Fire Island construction handles your project. Your investment stays protected, your timeline stays realistic, and you get straight answers instead of contractor speak.
Rich’s Construction has been handling general contractor services in Saltaire and the surrounding Fire Island communities for years. We understand the unique challenges of coastal construction, from material transport logistics to building codes specific to barrier island properties.
Being local means we know which suppliers can get materials to your property efficiently and which construction techniques actually work long-term in this environment. We’re licensed, insured, and familiar with the permit processes that can slow down projects when handled incorrectly.
This isn’t just another job site for us. It’s our community, and our reputation depends on every project we complete here.
Every project starts with an honest assessment of what you’re dealing with. We’ll look at your property, discuss your goals, and give you a realistic timeline and budget. No inflated estimates or lowball numbers that magically increase later.
Once we start, you’ll know what’s happening each step of the way. We handle permits, coordinate with suppliers who understand Fire Island logistics, and manage all the subcontractors. You get regular updates on progress, not radio silence until something goes wrong.
Materials are selected for coastal durability, not just initial cost. Construction techniques are chosen based on what actually works long-term in this environment. When we’re finished, you get a project that’s built to last, not just built to pass inspection.

From small repairs to major renovations, we handle the full range of general contractor services that Saltaire properties need. Kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, deck construction, siding replacement, roofing work, and structural repairs.
Every service includes the coastal expertise your property requires. We know which materials hold up to salt air, which foundation techniques work in sandy soil, and how to handle the logistics of getting everything to your Fire Island location efficiently.
You’re not paying for us to learn on the job or figure out local requirements as we go. You’re getting established systems, proven techniques, and the kind of local knowledge that only comes from years of working specifically in this area.
