Restoration in Old Greenwich Waterfront
Coastal Greenwich peninsula — Tod's Point and Binney Park area
Old Greenwich is a coastal Greenwich neighborhood centered on Greenwich Cove and the Long Island Sound peninsula extending to Tod's Point (Greenwich Point Park). Housing stock spans Victorian, shingle-style, and Cape Cod construction from the late 1800s through modern rebuilds, with the most exposed properties on Sound Beach Avenue, Shore Road, and the streets feeding Greenwich Cove and Binney Park.
The coastal exposure is significant. Old Greenwich is in the direct path of nor'easter wind-driven rain and coastal flood surge. Superstorm Sandy in 2012 inundated much of the lower-elevation neighborhood; subsequent storms have repeated lower-magnitude versions of the same flooding pattern. Many properties carry both standard HNW homeowner policies and supplemental flood coverage.
We handle Old Greenwich coastal restoration regularly — from emergency tarping during active nor'easter events through full post-storm structural drying and reconstruction. Direct billing with Chubb, AIG Private Client, and PURE is standard.
Housing stock
Mixed — Victorian and shingle-style 1880s-1920s on the historic streets, Cape Cod and ranch construction 1940s-1970s in mid-neighborhood, modern luxury rebuilds 2000s-present on prime waterfront. Many properties have basement-level finished space that's coastal-exposed.
Exposure profile
Direct coastal storm surge and nor'easter wind-driven rain exposure. Most beach-adjacent properties in FEMA AE flood zones. Hurricane deductibles trigger on declared hurricanes (1-5% of dwelling). Basement water infiltration during king tide events is increasingly common with sea-level rise. Roof damage from nor'easter winds is the most common storm loss.

Old Greenwich Waterfront FAQ
Will my homeowner policy cover Old Greenwich coastal flooding?
Standard homeowner policies (including Chubb Masterpiece, AIG PC, PURE) exclude rising surface water — that's flood-policy territory. Federal NFIP policies cover up to $250K dwelling / $100K contents; excess-flood policies from HNW carriers cover above NFIP limits. If you're in an Old Greenwich AE zone and federally-mortgaged, flood insurance is required. Verify your stack BEFORE the storm season.
How does the nor'easter / hurricane deductible distinction work?
Nor'easter damage typically triggers your standard deductible. Hurricane damage triggers the (much higher) hurricane deductible, typically 1-5% of dwelling, but only when NWS declares a hurricane affecting Connecticut. Most nor'easters technically aren't hurricanes even when their wind speeds are similar. Read your policy's exact trigger language.
What's your emergency tarping availability during active storms?
We tarp during active nor'easter conditions when safe to do so. Our crews are trained for harness-roof work in wind. For active hurricane-force conditions we wait until winds drop below safe working thresholds. Time-on-site is usually within 60 minutes of the call once we can safely dispatch.
How fast can you respond to Old Greenwich from Greenwich HQ?
Typical 15-25 minutes from our Greenwich HQ. Old Greenwich is approximately 3 miles east of our 12 Livingston Pl C, Greenwich location. During active storm events road conditions may slow response — we factor this into dispatch decisions.
