>
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.
>
How deep do you drive pilings?
We drive every piling to refusal — usually 12 to 20 feet depending on the bottom. We do not stop short to save time.
>
Will my pier survive a hurricane?
A pier built to refusal with stainless hardware and a properly engineered roof will survive a direct Category 2 hit. Florence took out hundreds of piers in 2018; ours stayed.
