174 DCWP-licensed contractors — Page 8 of 9

South Beach sits on Staten Island's East Shore between Fort Wadsworth and Midland Beach, a residential neighborhood organized around the Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and the beaches that give it its name. Housing stock ranges from early-20th-century bungalows originally built as summer cottages to single-family homes, small multi-family buildings, and waterfront properties. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 inundated much of the neighborhood, particularly properties on the lowest-lying streets nearest the waterfront. More than a decade later, flood-resilient construction remains a regular part of South Beach home improvement work — homes have been elevated to meet updated FEMA base flood elevation requirements, utilities relocated above flood lines, and insurance-driven scopes continue to shape what gets renovated and how. Contractors working in the neighborhood tend to be familiar with East Shore floodplain requirements, NYC Department of Buildings Special Inspection processes for flood zones, and the practical realities of working near the waterfront. Typical projects range from straightforward kitchen and bathroom renovations to whole-home elevations and complete tear-down rebuilds.
