Galveston, TX

General Contractor

Coastal Building Built for Galveston's Flood Rules

Galveston's flood maps were updated in 2019, and base flood elevations run roughly 8 to 18 feet depending on location. Foundation design has to match your lot's flood zone to pass permit review and keep insurance costs down.

Much of the island's housing stock predates 1960, so remodels and additions often touch older foundations and framing. Our foundation pouring, concrete breaking and hauling, and excavation work account for that existing structure before new loads go on.

Lots on the island and the mainland side in Dickinson or La Marque vary in elevation and drainage. Our grading and lot clearing services shape the ground so water moves away from the structure.

General Contractor FAQ for Galveston, TX

Common questions from Galveston, TX customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Many Galveston parcels sit in FEMA A-zones or V-zones. Those zones require construction at or above base flood elevation, with the lowest horizontal structural member commonly set 18 inches above it.

You can request a FEMA Flood Zone Determination Letter from the City of Galveston Building Department. The letter typically comes back within a few days and is usually free.

Yes. Many island homes were built before 1960, so we evaluate existing foundations and framing before adding load. Flood-zone rules still apply to any substantial improvement.
