BULKHEADS
Vinyl and timber bulkheads that stop erosion and give your dock a solid landing — new walls, full replacements, and section repairs from Hampstead to Sneads Ferry and on freshwater lakes inland.
THE CHALLENGE
A bulkhead that leans is a bulkhead that is already failing — the bank behind it is washing out through the joints and the tie-backs have let go. On coastal NC waterfronts the wall takes wake, tide, and storm surge every day; on a lake it takes wake, ice, and fluctuating water levels. Either way the fix is the same: sheet piling that reaches below the scour line, anchors set deep enough to hold, and drainage that lets water out without taking the yard with it.
MATERIALS WE USE
WHAT'S INCLUDED
HOW WE BUILD BULKHEADS
We probe the bottom in front of the wall, check the bank behind it, and confirm what CAMA allows on your shoreline.
We draw the wall height, alignment, and anchor layout to fit the CAMA general permit for bulkheads and your county review.
We pull the failed sections, then drive new sheet piling to depth with the anchors set before the cap goes on.
Walers and cap go on, filter fabric and weeps go in, and the bank is backfilled and graded.
We walk the wall with you, leave the as-built sketch, and back the work with a one-year workmanship warranty.
PRICING & TIMELINE
Free site evaluation. Bulkhead pricing depends on wall length and height, sheet material, anchor access, and how much of the existing wall can stay — we send a written, itemized estimate within one business day of the visit.

Mark and Family Crew replaced our 4 year old wood pergola with a Modern Owens Corning Composite Material one in just a few days. We could not be more happy about how it looks and how it was done. They do high quality work and cleanup as they go.
Mark and Tommy were great to work with and did an excellent job on our dock renovation. They added pilings and a boatlift as well as relocated a couple of jet ski lifts. We also had to run a new electrical line from the house and fix a few other things — and everything was handled professionally.
Mark and his crew did a fantastic job on a complex project involving multiple piers and gazebos. Great craftsmanship. Stayed on the job till it was completed. Highly recommend them for your pier, dock, or bulkhead projects.
OUR APPROACH
A bulkhead fails from behind, not in front — when tie-rods corrode or deadmen are set too shallow, the wall leans and the yard goes with it. We size and set the anchoring system before the first sheet goes in, use hot-dipped tie-rods with marine-grade hardware, and backfill behind filter fabric so the bank stays put.

FROM THE FOUNDER
Bulkheads done right is invisible — it just works through the next storm and the next ten tides. That's the standard.
