BARNEGAT, N.J. - March 19, 2015 - PRLog -- At a meeting with Jersey Shore United, Matthew Gaudet-Walters, sales representative of Walters-ReBUILD, presented the issues that Sandy-impacted residents are still dealing with in the effort to rebuild their shore homes.

Gaudet-Walters discussed ReBUILD’s efforts to help eligible residents apply for the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation program (RREM) then utilize those funds to get the most house for their money.

“Many shore homeowners who’ve received federal money are unsure about where to turn to start the rebuilding process,” said Gaudet-Walters. “Others are still awaiting a RREM grant. As a local firm, we want to educate residents about the many options and services available to them. At ReBUILD we’ve created a seamless process to help families apply for the RREM program, demolish their Sandy-destroyed houses and rebuild new homes from the ground up.”

Jersey Shore United, a local non-profit organization, offers support to families affected by Superstorm Sandy by donating household supplies and construction assistance.  The organization works with Sandy-impacted homeowners participating in the RREM and the Low-to-Moderate Income Homeowners Rebuilding Program (LMI Program).

"Our organization is working with Walters-ReBuild on a special program for families with limited resources,” said Barry Moll, executive director of Jersey Shore United. “Qualified families through this program would have the ability to demolish their old home and build a new raised stick built home on their existing lot.”

Walters-ReBUILD was created post-Sandy to help residents build smarter, safer, and stronger homes. As the custom home division of Walters, ReBUILD combines build-on-your-lot expertise with sustainable building practices. To safeguard against future storms, newly constructed homes are elevated to comply with FEMA’s (Federal Emergency Management Agency) new guidelines. Since its inception, ReBUILD has built 100 single-family homes in Ocean County; another 60 homes currently are in development or under construction.

“Jersey Shore United is reaching out to people of all incomes and needs,” said Gaudet-Walters. “The ReBUILD team wants to support those efforts by helping residents with some of the tough decisions. Many times rebuilding is the best alternative, and we want them to know that ReBUILD is here to meet their needs.”

ReBUILD offers over 50 floor plans with layouts ranging in size from 500 square feet to more than 2,400 square feet. Every home is specially crafted to fit on a homeowners lot, and if a customer does not find any standard plans that meet their requirements, they can meet with ReBUILD’s architect to design their own unique custom home.

ReBUILD also builds ENERGY STAR-certified homes, resulting in significant energy and cost savings for the homeowner. Homes include features such as high insulated walls; low E-insulated windows; energy-efficient lighting; 2x6 exterior walls; and high-efficiency heating, cooling, and hot water heater equipment. When combined with other Energy Star features offered, homeowners can save around 30 percent on their annual utility bills.
