New Vendor Spotlight: Waters Edge Marine Construction LLP (Boathouses, Piers & Bulkheads)
By Meredith Folger Amon — Gulf Coast Real Estate Advisor, licensed in Alabama & Florida
I received a note through my website introducing Waters Edge Marine Construction LLP—a shoreline contractor focusing on boathouses, piers/docks, and bulkheads. Their crews previously worked with Bay Area Marine and Edgewater Marine Construction (both now retired), and they partner with Eco Solutions LLC to coordinate U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permits, which can save homeowners time and back-and-forth during approvals.

Why I’m sharing this
On the Alabama Gulf Coast—Orange Beach, Ono Island, Gulf Shores—shoreline projects live at the intersection of tides, wind, corrosion, permitting, and insurance. Having a team that understands lift alignment, piling selection, hardware longevity (316 stainless/galvanized), and storm-smart design makes a big difference over the life of your dock or bulkhead.
