Our reviews say the same things again and again: clear quotes, real timelines, permits handled and a clean site. That’s how every job runs.
-
We look at the site
Richard walks the shoreline with you, looks at the water and the bottom, and talks through what you want to use it for.
-
A clear quote & timeline
You get a clear quote and a realistic schedule, and we keep you posted on progress from start to finish.
-
Permits, handled
Amanda manages the permit paperwork for work in and on the water, and keeps you up to date at every step.
-
Built from the barge
Our excavator works from the water, so materials come in by barge and the heavy equipment stays off your lawn.
-
A tidy site, every day
We clean up as we go. Customers notice: “they even went the extra mile to keep our property tidy.”
Where we work
Virginia Beach to the Potomac.

Questions
What areas do you work in?
We’re based in Deltaville and work from Virginia Beach to the Potomac River, including the Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck. Call to check whether your property is in range.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Call or send the form with a few details and photos of the shoreline or dock, and we’ll set up a time to look at it.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. Amanda handles the permit paperwork for our projects and keeps you updated at every step.
Why work from a barge?
Working from the water keeps heavy equipment off your yard, lets us bring pilings, lumber and stone straight to the site, and reaches places a truck can’t.
