"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

"Everything went perfectly. Noa was extremely attentive to my needs from the start and came in with a very fair and reasonable price. Once we agreed to terms, he and his crew arrived at my home on time and work tirelessly until the job was complete. Noa also followed up after the work was performed to ensure I was satisfied with the quality and end product. I would absolutely use Noa again and plan to for any future projects. One of the nicest, most fair and honest contractors/maintenance workers I have ever met!"

"Hannon Construction treated my house as if it was their own. The floors are spectacular and historically correct. The project was done to our 1907 built house, so naturally there were some further fixes uncovered in the process.. They were always forthright, and extremely thorough every step of the way. The project remained on time due to their diligence in spite of it being more complicated than expected. Overall we couldnâ t be more satisfied, and I would use them again 10/10"

"Worked very well with Nick . He got the job done as contracted in an efficient manner, and it looks great. He also went out of his way to make sure the project went well and at a fair price. I’d definitely use Young Renovator’s for fire projects. Great job!!"

"It went great! No drips or mess. The door looks beautiful! I wouldn't expect anything less from Justin. He's very meticulous. I have him in my phone whenever I need anything done. When he was here before, he painted the exterior of my front entry door. Beautiful! He and his team repaired a section of deck railing. Great job!"

FAQs for water dock building service projects in Saint-Louis, MO

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
