"Corey and his crew were OUTSTANDING. My dock is just beautiful. All my neighbors envy me now, they all ask who did the work and when I recommend Corey to them, he ALWAYS gets back quickly. I have heard nothing but great things even from my neighbors. Truly a great value. Not outrageously priced either! Love love, love, Corey. The lifelong customer here. :)"

"Jamie and his crew of three did a good job tearing down and removing the existing 1100 square for deck. Completed in one day. They took a few more days to remove all the lumber. Our grass has still not recovered where they laid all the wood. We were downsizing our deck and getting Trex installed. Originally said it would take a week to ten days but took almost a month. Some delays were worker related, a few days were weather. They only day they put in eight hours was the demo day. Other days we might get two or three hours with one or two guys. I think one worker was let go in the process. The installation of the Trex was to the proper specs but later my wife and I found a few small problems. A little piece was broken off then glue was attempted leaving glue residue obvious. We were told it would be easy for us to clean. Another problem is a place where the boards are not even with the edge. Jamie said he?d come check it but hasn?t. $27,000 paid."

FAQs for water dock building service projects in Virginia Beach, VA

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.
