A Brief History of Long Beach Island, NJ
Once a secluded fishing hub, Long Beach Island has evolved into one of the most sought-after destinations on the Jersey Shore. With a rich maritime history and timeless beach-town charm, LBI has maintained its exclusive appeal while offering modern amenities, fine dining, and family-friendly recreation.
Despite seasonal popularity, the island retains a laid-back atmosphere and low-density development—perfect for creating a custom home that reflects your lifestyle and stands out with architectural character.
Custom Home Builder on LBI: Our Approach
We believe that building your dream home should feel inspiring—not overwhelming. Here’s how we simplify the process while keeping you at the center of every decision:
Initial Consultation
We start by learning about your vision, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you already own land on the island or are looking for the perfect location, our team can guide you through your options.
Architectural Design
Our in-house architects design homes that take full advantage of your lot’s location, views, and shape. From elevated living spaces to wide open layouts, we specialize in coastal architecture built to withstand the elements.
Permits and Compliance
Long Beach Island’s local codes, zoning, and floodplain requirements can be complex. We handle it all—from CAFRA approvals to local borough regulations—so you don’t have to worry.
Construction and Management
We coordinate every detail of the build—from breaking ground to the final inspection. Our team manages contractors, schedules, materials, and inspections, while keeping you updated every step of the way.
Final Touches and Walkthrough
Once construction wraps, we walk through every room with you to ensure the home meets your standards—and doesn’t miss a single detail.
Making the Most of Your Long Beach Island Lot
LBI lots are often narrow or irregular, but that doesn’t limit what’s possible. Our architects are skilled at designing vertical living spaces, rooftop decks, and flexible layouts that optimize every inch. Whether you want sweeping ocean views, bay breezes, or indoor-outdoor flow, we’ll deliver a home that feels expansive, light-filled, and uniquely yours.
