What We Do
Twelve in-house specialties covering every aspect of waterfront construction — all managed by the same licensed team, with the same commitment to permits, inspections, and quality craftsmanship throughout.
Core Services
Structural repair, erosion control, and drainage restoration for damaged or deteriorating seawalls — stopping active failure before it becomes full replacement, with complete DEP permit management throughout.
Custom-engineered new seawall construction designed and built specifically for Florida marine conditions — concrete, vinyl, steel, or riprap options engineered to last 50+ years with full DEP permit management.
Custom fixed and floating dock construction built with rough-cut waler systems and thru-bolted cleats — engineered for superior strength and a 50+ year lifespan in Florida's marine environment.
Expert repair of rotted wood, damaged pilings, corroded hardware, and storm-damaged dock systems — with 24-hour emergency storm response and complete permit management on all structural repairs.
Custom-engineered retaining walls that stabilize your waterfront property, control erosion, and enhance your landscape — built in concrete, stone, timber, or modular block with proper drainage for 50+ year performance.
Safe, licensed demolition of docks, boathouses, boat lifts, seawalls, and marine structures — removed cleanly, safely, and completely with zero property damage, full site cleanup, and total disposal handled throughout.
Advanced SnapJacket pile restoration technology restores and permanently protects damaged dock pilings — eliminating marine borers completely and extending piling lifespans indefinitely without full replacement.
Additional Services
Professional marina maintenance programs for commercial and residential marinas — keeping your facility in optimal safe condition year-round with scheduled inspections, preventive maintenance, and prompt professional repair response.
Professional mechanical pile driving using specialized marine-grade equipment to install strong, stable foundations for docks, piers, boathouses, and all marine structures — with precision placement and engineered depth verification.
Advanced soil stabilization techniques to ensure the long-term stability and integrity of your waterfront property and all marine structures — preventing settlement, erosion-related failure, and costly structural damage.
Specialized concrete repair services for harsh saltwater marine environments — restoring structural integrity, preventing progressive damage, and extending the service life of docks, seawalls, piers, and all concrete marine structures.
Custom marine construction solutions that enhance your waterfront property's functionality, safety, and aesthetic appeal — from shoreline restoration and wave protection to complete waterfront marine facility construction.
Full Service
Marine construction in Florida’s coastal environment requires DEP permits, county approvals, and multiple staged inspections. We handle all of it — from first application to final permit closeout — so you never deal with an agency directly.
We prepare, submit, and manage all Florida DEP and Bay County permit applications — handling every revision, agency response, and regulatory requirement from start to fully approved permit closeout.
Pre-construction site assessments, during-construction quality checks, and post-completion final inspections ensure every phase meets structural standards, safety codes, and all permit specifications.
We properly close out every permit with complete documentation — protecting your property's legal standing, satisfying insurance requirements, and ensuring your investment is fully protected long-term.
How We Work

Comprehensive site visit to assess conditions, understand your project needs, and develop the optimal marine construction solution for your property and budget.
Detailed engineering plans and custom designs tailored to your property's unique waterfront conditions, structural requirements, project scope, and long-term aesthetic goals.
We submit and manage all DEP, county, and local authority permit applications — handling every submission, revision, and agency correspondence until fully approved.
