Built on coastal know-how, not guesswork
-
Coastal construction experience
Every structure is planned for tides, saltwater exposure, marine organisms, shoreline conditions, and access — not a generic inland build.
About our approach -
Custom planning and materials
We match materials and design to your property, vessel, water access, and intended use — wood, composite, vinyl, aluminum, and galvanized systems.

Permitting and project coordination
Waterfront work often needs approvals. We help gather site information and coordinate the local, state, and federal steps a project requires.
How permitting works -
We invented Pile Saver
Our owner holds the U.S. patent on Pile Saver, a tide-driven collar that keeps barnacles off pilings. We engineer the protection we install.

Our invention
We Invented the Pile Saver
Barnacles and marine growth are where piling rot starts. Our owner, Bill Thomas, designed Pile Saver right here in Ocean Isle Beach: a collar that rides the tide and scrubs the piling on every rise and fall.
U.S. Patent No. 8,403,598
An independent NC State University study found Pile Savers highly effective at keeping barnacles off pier piles. Read the study
