SURF CITY CONDITIONS
Why Surf City bulkheads are different
Surf City sits across two counties — north of the swing bridge is Onslow, south is Pender. We file the right permit on the right side every time.
County boundary runs through town — dual permitting reach
Topsail Sound and Stump Sound — both sound-side waters
Heavy floating-dock demand for shallow-draft homes

FAQ
Bulkheads in Surf City, NC — questions answered
Do you build bulkheads in Surf City, NC?
Yes. We build bulkheads throughout Surf City and the surrounding Pender / Onslow County area. Our shop is at 312 Olde Point Loop in Hampstead, NC — a short drive to every Surf City bulkhead. Call (910) 612-6107 for a free site visit.
What does a bulkheads cost in Surf City, NC?
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. Permit cost varies by Pender / Onslow County CAMA review. We provide a written, itemized estimate within one business day.
Do you handle CAMA permits for Surf City projects?
Yes. Surf City falls under Pender / Onslow County CAMA general permits, and we walk every application through with you. Most Surf City sound-side homes do better with a floating dock — the shallow draft and tide swing fight a fixed pier.
Do I need a CAMA permit to replace a bulkhead?
Almost always, yes. Replacing or repairing a bulkhead in its existing alignment usually fits a CAMA general permit; moving the wall waterward or building new through marsh takes more review. We confirm which applies before we quote and file the paperwork with you.
Vinyl or wood?
Vinyl does not rot, does not feed marine borers, and outlasts timber on salt and brackish water, which is why it is our default on the coast. Pressure-treated timber still makes sense on freshwater lakes, for short walls, and when matching an existing timber wall.
