At Harwick, our passion is homes. This passion is evident in everything we do, from the pouring of your home's foundation, to our promise of protecting your investment in the future with our repair and maintenance program. We invite you to explore our Building Block Series to discover how Harwick Homes builds homes that connect you fully with life, from start to finish.
From the Bottom Up
The strength of a home begins at the bottom; subsurface investigation by our soil engineers determines the load bearing capacity of the earth on your site. This information is then analyzed by our structural engineer to determine the size of the poured in place foundation. When questionable soil conditions exist such as in waterfront properties concrete pilings may be driven deep into the earth to form the basis of the foundation.

Window and Door waterproofing
Our system of waterproofing begins with our full masonry rough openings being encapsulated with professional products developed by Sherwin William's, one of the most respected companies in this field. Our encapsulation of the opening and the surrounding masonry ensures a seal that will not be broken.

Understanding the wall science necessary in our subtropical environment is critical to a healthy home. Although the first lines of defense are the roof and wall systems the walls need to be able to breathe to function properly.

Mechanical Systems/ Plumbing and Electrical
Proper design and quality installation ensures the plumbing system will be in place for years to come without issue. We insist on all solid schedule 40 PVC waste lines, while others use foam cored PVC. Although foam cored PVC meets the code requirements it does not with stand up the abuse plumbing waste lines can be subject to when someone drops something down the drain that requires "Roto Rooter" to use a power snake to clear the stoppage.

Building "Green"

We recently completed our first "Green Certified" Model home the Palazzina in Treviso Bay. We always thought we were building to a higher standard and with only minor landscaping changes we received this certification.Learn More
