Restoration in Shippan Point
Stamford's exclusive coastal peninsula
Shippan Point is the exclusive coastal peninsula of Stamford — extending into Long Island Sound from the Stamford harbor, characterized by 1920s-1950s estate construction, mid-century waterfront homes, and modern luxury rebuilds. The neighborhood is bordered by Stamford Harbor on the west, Westcott Cove on the east, and Long Island Sound to the south, creating direct coastal exposure on three sides.
Property values here are among the highest in Stamford, with significant HNW carrier presence (Chubb, AIG PC, PURE) on the premium waterfront homes. The coastal exposure means storm surge, wind-driven rain, and basement infiltration from elevated groundwater are recurring loss patterns.
Our Shippan Point work includes emergency post-storm response, basement waterproofing for chronic moisture, and full structural restoration after major events. Direct billing with all coastal-exposed HNW and standard carriers.

Shippan Point FAQ
What's the hurricane deductible situation on Shippan Point?
Most coastal Connecticut HNW policies carry a hurricane deductible — typically 1-5% of dwelling — triggered when the National Weather Service officially declares a hurricane affecting CT. On a $3M Shippan Point dwelling that's $30K-$150K. Standard nor'easter damage typically triggers the standard deductible only. Verify your policy's exact trigger language.
Do I need separate flood insurance in Shippan Point?
Most of Shippan Point is in FEMA flood zones. If federally-mortgaged, flood insurance is required. Recommended even if not required — standard homeowner policies (including HNW) exclude rising surface water. NFIP + excess flood coverage from your HNW carrier is the standard stack.
How fast can you respond to Shippan Point from Greenwich HQ?
Typical 25-35 minutes. Shippan Point is approximately 8 miles east of our Greenwich location. For active emergencies during major storm events, road conditions can slow response — we factor this into dispatch decisions.
