Quality Services

Custom Dock & Pier Construction

We design and build durable fixed piers and docks tailored to your specific waterfront property. Whether you need a simple fishing platform or a multi-level sundeck with boat slips, we use marine-grade timber and composite materials that withstand the harsh coastal elements.

Bulkheads & Seawalls

Protect your shoreline from erosion and tidal damage with our high-quality retaining walls. We specialize in installing vinyl, timber, and concrete bulkheads that provide structural stability and long-lasting defense against waves and storms.

Boat Lifts & Hoists

Extend the life of your vessel by keeping it out of the saltwater when not in use. We supply and install state-of-the-art boat lifts ranging from personal watercraft (PWC) lifts to heavy-duty hoists for large offshore boats, ensuring easy and safe access to the water.

Marine Pile Driving

The foundation of any marine structure is the piling. Our team uses specialized barge equipment to drive timber, concrete, or steel piles with precision. We ensure deep penetration for maximum stability for docks, homes, and commercial marine foundations.

Floating Docks & Gangways

For areas with significant tidal fluctuations, we install high-performance floating dock systems. Connected by sturdy aluminium gangways, these docks rise and fall with the tide, keeping your boat accessible and level at all times.

Marine Repair & Maintenance

The ocean is tough on structures. We offer comprehensive repair services for aging docks, storm-damaged piers, and leaning bulkheads. From re-decking to replacing corroded hardware, we restore the safety and beauty of your waterfront investment.
