Dock Permitting & Design Services

Building or upgrading a dock involves more than just construction — it starts with careful planning and proper permitting. Our permitting and design services make the entire process simple and stress-free for our customers. We handle all the necessary paperwork, approvals, and communication with local and state agencies to ensure your project meets every regulation and requirement.

Our team also works closely with you to design a dock that fits your property, lifestyle, and the unique conditions of your shoreline. From layout and materials to functionality and aesthetics, we tailor every detail to create a structure that’s both practical and visually appealing.

By managing both the permitting and design process in-house, we save you time, eliminate guesswork, and ensure your dock is built right — from concept to completion.

Our Process

1. Initial Consultation We begin with an on-site meeting to understand your vision, evaluate your shoreline, and discuss your needs. This step allows us to gather all the details necessary to create the perfect dock for your property.

2. Design Our team develops a detailed design based on your goals, property layout, and local regulations. We’ll work closely with you to ensure the design is both functional and visually appealing.

3. Estimate Once the design is finalized, we prepare a detailed and transparent estimate covering materials, labor, and projected timelines — giving you a clear understanding of the investment and process ahead.

4. Permitting We handle the permitting process for you, working with local and state agencies to ensure your project meets all required codes and environmental guidelines. This saves you time and ensures the project runs smoothly from start to finish.

5. Construction With approvals in place, our skilled builders get to work using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Every detail is handled with precision to create a dock that’s durable, safe, and built to last.

6. Final Inspection & Walkthrough Before completion, we conduct a thorough inspection and final walkthrough with you to ensure every aspect meets our standards — and yours.
