What does a fixed piers cost in Topsail Beach, NC?
Free site evaluation. Most residential fixed piers fall in the $18,000 – $60,000 range depending on length and head shape, plus permits. Permit cost varies by Pender County CAMA review. We provide a written, itemized estimate within one business day.
Do you handle CAMA permits for Topsail Beach projects?
Yes. Topsail Beach falls under Pender County CAMA general permits, and we walk every application through with you. 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.
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?
No builder can promise a pier will survive every storm, and you should be wary of one who does. What we can promise is the engineering standard: every piling driven to refusal, 316 stainless hardware on every saltwater connection, and roof framing sized for the local wind zone. Those three things are what separate the piers that ride out a hurricane from the ones that do not.
