Our Marine Construction Services
Bulkhead / Seawall Construction, Repair & Reinforcement
We design and build bulkheads and seawalls that protect against shoreline erosion, wave action, and storm damage. Using materials such as treated timber, vinyl, or composite, our seawalls are engineered for long-lasting coastal defense. We also provide repairs and structural reinforcements for aging or damaged barriers.
New Dock / Pier Construction
Our custom docks and piers are built to match your property layout and boating needs. From fixed platforms to floating dock systems, we construct durable marine access points designed to withstand Wilmington’s tides, boat traffic, and weather. Every project begins with a detailed site assessment and complies with state and local regulations.
Dock & Pier Repairs, Maintenance & Restoration
Exposure to the elements can cause dock components to wear out or fail. We inspect, repair, and restore docks and piers to safe working condition, replacing damaged pilings, decking, and framing as needed. We also provide ongoing maintenance to keep your structure secure and ready for use.
Boat Lifts & Personal Watercraft Lifts
Protect your investment with a professionally installed boat lift or jet ski lift. We offer custom lift solutions designed for Wilmington’s tidal conditions, including cradle lifts, elevator systems, and floating PWC platforms. Our lifts are built with corrosion-resistant components to ensure smooth operation and long-term performance.
Gazebos, Pergolas, Custom Platforms & Walkways
Enhance your dock or shoreline with custom outdoor features such as waterfront gazebos, shaded pergolas, viewing decks, and walkways. These additions provide comfort, visual appeal, and functional value. All structures are engineered for stability and built using marine-grade materials suited to coastal weather.
Pile Driving & Pilings Replacement
We perform precise pile driving for new dock builds, seawalls, and other structures that require deep foundational support. For aging or storm-damaged pilings, we offer expert replacement using pressure-treated timber, composite, or steel. Properly driven piles ensure the long-term stability of any marine construction project.
Dredging & Deepening
Keep your waterfront accessible with professional dredging services. We clear sediment buildup and deepen access channels for boats, helping you maintain a safe and navigable shoreline. Our team manages all required permits and adheres to environmental best practices for every dredging project.
Engineering, Design & CAMA Permitting
Marine construction requires more than tools and materials—it takes planning and compliance. We provide full design-build services, including structural layouts, material recommendations, and Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit preparation. Our team works closely with local authorities to streamline approvals and keep your project on track.
Erosion Control & Retaining Walls
Protect your property from shoreline loss with custom erosion control solutions. We install riprap rock systems, vegetation stabilization, and reinforced retaining walls that manage runoff and buffer wave impact. These systems are designed to integrate with your landscape while protecting it from ongoing erosion.
Dock & Pier Inspections & Consulting
We provide detailed inspections for residential, marina, and HOA docks. Whether you're buying property, assessing storm damage, or planning upgrades, our evaluations identify structural concerns and recommend solutions. We also offer consulting for new construction and complex marine projects.
