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.
