Learn about the best building practices for waterfront homes.
Waterfront homes offer many benefits to homeowners, including beautiful views, direct access to beaches and water, and a peaceful location. However, building a waterfront home is very different than an inland location as there are a lot of restrictions and considerations to be aware of during the building process. Continue reading to learn about the best building practices to build your dream waterfront home.
Waterproof Materials
The most important aspect of building a home on the water is waterproofing the exterior of your home. It’s crucial to use the best water resistant wraps, tapes, and caulks for the area to ensure the home is safe from damage. The Mid-Atlantic region sees the greatest variance from cold to hot temperatures in the U.S. and is regularly hit with tropical storms and hurricanes. This is why it’s so critical to choose and install the correct materials that can handle the most extreme weather. At T&G Builders, we regularly send our employees to different manufacturers and tradeshows to make sure that we are up to date on the best building practices and are using the industry’s best materials.
Choosing The Right Builder
With various considerations to keep track of when building a waterfront home, it’s crucial that you choose the best builder possible. Your home builder should know all about waterfront properties, and how to resolve the difficult aspects that come with building a waterfront home. A great home builder will ensure that your home is built in the right location without compromising the spectacular water view.
