The benefits of building a house out of stone as opposed to wood has been engrained into most peoples heads since childhood thanks to those 3 little pigs and their run-in with a wolf. But these days home owners at the Jersey Shore have bigger problems than bacon hungry wolves. As we are now into the fall and approach the harsh winter months homeowners have hurricanes, nor’easterns and snowstorms to worry about. To get through these extreme weather conditions it’s a necessity to have a strong house.
Time Magazine named Ocean County, NJ the most dangerous place to live in the United States, basing this claim to the frequency of Natural Disasters. “Tidal surges and storms like Hurricane Sandy make this oceanfront county vulnerable”, they say in their “Answers Issue” which hit newsstands last month..

It’s been almost 2 years since Superstorm Sandy forever changed the Jersey Shore, and as more and more families start renovating or rebuilding their homes, you’re starting to see more homes being built with concrete foundations. Some homeowners take it a step further and build their entire house out of concrete; walls, floors and all! If you truly want your new home to be a “Hurricane Proof Home” we bring you Part 3 of our ongoing series on building a Hurricane Proof Home using Insulated Concrete Forms or “ICF” building techniques.
Below we show you what some of the later stages of building a house entirely out of concrete looks like. The previous house had a very low elevation before Superstorm Sandy and when the new FEMA flood zone maps were released (before they foolishly changed them back) the house was rebuilt to comply with the strict V-Zone requirements, having the first floor at elevation 14 feet.

We are currently undergoing construction in Normandy Beach using some innovative construction techniques. Were calling this type of construction Hurricane Proof, for good reason. This particular home is being constructed to the strict FEMA V-Zone flood construction requirements and is extremely strong.

We have been hard at work putting the Ortley Beach, NJ landmark Barnacle Bills Amusements back together after it was severely damaged from Hurricane Sandy. We were tasked to design and build an entirely new restaurant, Mini Golf course, and arcade for this legacy jersey shore business. Anyone who has been down on the jersey shore has seen Barnacle Bills face, so we took it really seriously when we took on the project, so that we could make the entire site better without losing any of its original shore charm. After Sandy, Barnacle Bills was left in disarray with all of the famous classic arcade games being thrown out to the curb. The JJC Inc. team took on the commercial project and were working towards a re-opening this summer.

We have just broke ground on a new home located in Normandy Beach, NJ. The previous house had a very low elevation and had 6ft of water inside after Hurricane Sandy. So, we are extremely excited to be rebuilding this house. The property restoration design concept was created with the new FEMA flood zone maps that told us this location is located inside the V-zone, which means we needed to be at elevation 14 ft and have breakaway walls underneath the structure in order to be compliant. With this house, the design is set to have lots of storage area and a full four-car garage underneath the first floor. We actually like this design in that we can make lots of use of this unlivable space.
