Q: What types of marine construction services do you offer?
A: We offer a variety of marine construction services tailored to the needs of property owners in and around the Lake Gaston, NC area.

Q: What materials do you specialize in for docks and boathouses?

As a certified Trex installer, we provide a variety of colors and styles. Please note that we do not build aluminum docks.
Q: Do you use subcontractors for any part of your construction projects?
A: To maintain our high standards of quality and ensure a seamless project from start to finish, we perform the majority of the construction work ourselves. However, for specialized tasks such as electrical work, shingle installation, or fitting metal roofs, we do hire trusted and licensed subcontractors to ensure those components are completed correctly and safely.
Q: What is involved in a new boathouse construction project?
A: A new boathouse construction project is a significant undertaking that we manage from start to finish. The process begins with detailed planning and design, considering your specific needs and the unique characteristics of your property. We then handle all aspects of the build, from pile driving for a solid foundation to the final construction, ensuring your new boathouse is both functional and built to last.
Q: Can you remodel my existing boathouse?

Q: Do you handle dock piling repairs?
A: Properly installed pilings are crucial for the stability and longevity of your dock. We provide professional pile driving services for new installations and can also perform dock piling repairs. We ensure your dock has the strongest foundation possible, protecting it from the elements and regular use.
Q: What are the benefits of a boat lift installation?
A: A boat lift installation offers many benefits for boat owners. It protects your boat from algae growth, staining, and corrosion by keeping the hull out of the water when not in use. This reduces maintenance costs and preserves your boat's value. We can install a new boat lift or a jet ski lift to provide convenience and protection for your watercraft.
Q: Can you build a custom dock for my property?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in custom dock solutions designed to meet the specific needs of our clients. During the planning phase, we work with you to choose the right materials, style, and layout.
