A Brief History of Belmar, NJ

Belmar, meaning “beautiful sea” in Italian, was incorporated in 1885 and quickly grew into a popular resort town. Its iconic boardwalk, fishing pier, and expansive beaches made it a destination for generations of beachgoers. Today, Belmar offers the best of both worlds: historic charm and modern amenities, making it a smart choice for a thoughtfully designed custom home.


Our Process: Building a Custom Home in Belmar

We make the experience of building a custom home exciting and stress-free, with a step-by-step approach that gives you control while simplifying the journey:

Initial Consultation

We start by learning about your goals, lifestyle, and budget. Already own a lot in Belmar? Great—we’ll evaluate it. Still searching? We can help you find the right property.

Architectural Design

Collaborate with our in-house architects to design a coastal home that’s smart, stylish, and suited to Belmar’s environment. Think open-concept living, spacious porches, and elevated layouts to take advantage of light and views.

Permitting & Compliance

We handle all local building requirements, zoning regulations, and flood zone considerations. With decades of experience, we navigate Belmar’s permitting process with ease.

Construction & Management

Once approved, we bring your plans to life. Our team oversees every detail—managing timelines, contractors, and materials so you don’t have to. You’ll stay informed at every step.


 

Final Walkthrough

When your home is finished, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough to ensure everything meets (or exceeds) your expectations.

Maximize Your Belmar Lot’s Potential

Whether your Belmar property is compact, elevated, or steps from the beach, our design-build team knows how to make the most of it:

♦ Creative, space-saving layouts
♦ Rooftop decks and outdoor living
♦ Built-in storage and flexible-use rooms
♦ Flood-compliant, elevated construction

We ensure your custom home feels bright, open, and tailored to the way you live.


Built for the Shore: Coastal Construction Specialists

Homes built by the ocean demand smart construction. We design with resilience in mind, using materials and techniques that stand up to Belmar’s coastal climate:

♦ Flood zone elevation strategies
♦ Salt- and moisture-resistant materials
♦ Storm-rated roofing and windows
♦ Efficient HVAC for humid conditions
♦ Ventilation systems to reduce corrosion and mildew

Your home will look beautiful—and be built to last.
