Mark rebuilt our dock this fall and did a great job. He handled the CAMA permitting and kept me updated on weather delays that pushed back our project. He was very responsive when I had questions and when we needed a slight change to our build.

FROM THE FOUNDER

In Topsail Beach, the water teaches you fast. Build for the worst tide and the longest storm — the calm days take care of themselves.

FAQ

Questions about Topsail Beach dock builds

Do I need a town permit on Topsail Beach?

Yes. Topsail Beach requires a town review on top of the CAMA general permit. We handle both.

How shallow is too shallow for a floating dock?

A floating dock needs about 18 inches of water at low tide. We probe the bottom on every site and recommend a fixed pier or hybrid if depth is borderline.

Are your docks hurricane-rated?

Yes. We frame to refusal-driven pilings, use stainless hardware throughout, and size roof framing for the local wind zone.
