This particular project was challenging for our maintenance crew as the homeowner’s property had limited access to the water. This gave our crew the opportunity to utilize a variety of marine equipment to deliver the new finalized floating docks. A built-in IPE bench, an aluminum flip-up ladder, a kayak rack, four-inch galvanized pipes (used to anchor the floats), and IPE decking were used to complete this new pier and floating dock.

This dock is unique in that it can accommodate multiple large boats with plenty of draft and berthing space.
Our construction crews transformed two neighboring properties by constructing a new pier and bulkhead. We removed the previous structures at both locations and installed vinyl sheeting, Azek decking, as well as pressure treated lumber as the main components to complete this major improvement of their waterfront.

This outdated pier located on Bass River had a total rebuild from start to finish. Our construction crews upgraded the pier with IPE hardwood decking. This material will provide a long-term maintenance free and quality finish on this pier for the duration of its lifespan. The pier was reconstructed with additional features including larger floats, handrails, and a bench / storage locker.
Our construction crews worked hard to bring new life to this older pier. The customer made a great choice with Ipe hardwood decking and handrail cap. Additionally, we replaced the floating docks and gangways with brand new ones. Finally, we added a nice touch to the piles by capping them with a special marine epoxy. Sometimes a full replacement isn’t always necessary and in this case we found plenty of life left in the structure to warrant the updates.
Our construction crews finished the construction of this new pier in Osterville. The pier is a new addition to a recently completed home construction project and finished the project with access to deep water. This new pier is finished with a high-end upgrade using all IPE hardwood decking and handrail which will provide a long-term maintenance free and quality finish on this pier for the duration of its lifespan.
Our maintenance crews wrapped up this enhancement on this pier in Marstons Mills. The crew installed a new pressure treated handrail, safety rail, and gate on the existing walkway section.

Our construction crews had started a new pier construction in Kingston on the Jones River. This pier had very limited access from the water, so the crew built the pier around the tides with upland access and a small excavator for driving piles.
This project is complete reconstruction of an existing pier with upgraded and larger floating docks. This project also has a small dredging component to accommodate the new owner’s larger boat. Tight quarters made this project slightly more tricky than most. Captain Matt was able to move the tug and barge into place with little tolerance for error.
This outdated pier was in need of a major facelift. The crew stripped this pier down to the pilings, and hauled out all the debris via boat to be properly disposed of. This new pier construction followed the same footprint as the original structure, and the rebuild consisted of all new pressure treated lumber to increase the longevity of the pier for years to come. This enhancement included new vertical supports, ledgers, stringers, cross bracing, decking and handrail system. Stainless steel screws and galvanized fasteners are used to reduce rust and corrosion.
This project reflects our maintenance crew installing new IPE decking on a pier in Oyster Harbors. By using stainless steel screws to increase longevity and prevent rust, upon completion of decking, the old pier was demolished, as well as the old cross bracing. New cross bracing had been installed using a 3”x8” pressure treated lumber and galvanized hardware. This new cross bracing restricts the amount of lateral movement in the pier. Once these phases were complete, the crew installed 2 sets of TaylorMade Boat Whips. The boat whips are used to prevent boats from rubbing against the pier.
