As extreme weather intensifies, we’re building strong and sustainable sanctuaries that will keep you safe
As hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters grow more frequent and severe, Carbon builds resilience into every home: reimagining what disaster-proof luxury living means, particularly for those who live along the coast.
Resilience as Standard
Carbon combines engineering sophistication with exceptional craftsmanship to create homes that are both elegant and enduring. From the Hamptons to the Hudson Valley to South Florida, our approach remains the same: performance and longevity are built in from the start.
Our approach doesn’t shift with geography; yet in areas where nature most tests the limits, that consistency makes all the difference. In many cases, our preferred ICF and steel systems can be built as quickly - or faster - than a typical stick-built home, while delivering superior safety, durability, and energy performance. The result is a home that not only stands the test of time but also operates more efficiently and sustainably throughout its lifespan.
“It’s not just about structural strength,” says Founder and CEO Sam Fertik. “It’s about peace of mind. Knowing your home is built to protect you and your family, no matter what’s happening outside. That’s an incredible feeling.”
Tested to the Highest Standards
Every element of every Carbon build is tested and retested to exceed both our own rigorous benchmarks and the realities of a changing climate.

For example, where most builders apply a single layer of waterproofing, we use a three-part system: a painted-on bituminous (asphalt-based) membrane, a one-inch DPI protection board, and a dimple board that creates an air gap for drainage and ventilation. This multi-layered approach has been field-tested in extreme conditions - and proven completely watertight.

In flood-prone regions like Florida, these details aren’t optional; they’re essential to protecting both the structure and the serenity of the homeowners within.
As the world changes, so must the way we build. At Carbon, that evolution isn’t coming - it’s already here.
