Why Our WearDeck Docks Deliver Lasting Value, Safety, and Ease

You’re here because you want a dock that won’t warp, splinter, or fade—and won’t turn blazing hot in Texas sun. Professional WearDeck dock construction ensures correct framing, secure fasteners, and code‑compliant electrical, so you avoid costly rework. With us, you get proven design, fast installation, and a dock that’s easier to own.

Safety & Risk Elimination

We build for people, boats, and storms. Our framing plans account for load paths, cross‑bracing, and wind uplift, so platforms, lifts, and boathouses stay secure. We specify stainless steel 316 fasteners, hot‑dipped galvanized hardware, and corrosion isolation between dissimilar metals to reduce failure risks in brackish and saltwater.

Electrical safety matters on the water. We lay out shore power to NEC Article 555 and NFPA 303 requirements, include GFCI/GFPE protection, and place emergency shutoffs in clearly labeled locations. This protects your family, guests, and equipment while improving insurance and marina compliance.

Professional Results & Quality

Owens Corning WearDeck HDPE composite boards with Advantex fiberglass reinforcement help deliver stable spans and a slip‑resistant surface. We use correct joist spacing—often 24" O.C. where the profile allows—precision cuts with composite blades, and color‑matched stainless fasteners for a clean, uniform finish.

We set piles with a barge and vibratory or drop hammer, verify elevations with a rotary laser/total station, and follow manufacturer specs for thermal expansion gaps and drainage. The result: straight lines, tight seams, cooler decking, and consistent performance you can see and feel.

Time & Stress Savings

We handle everything—USACE/Texas GLO approvals, floodplain permits, material logistics, and inspections—so you don’t have to. Our in‑house crews arrive with the right tools: pile driver, torque motor for helical anchors, certified crane operator, and marine‑rated electrical gear.

Expect a smooth schedule and clear updates at each milestone. You’ll know what’s happening, what’s next, and exactly when your dock is ready for use.

Cost‑Effective Solution

Quality materials and correct installation reduce lifetime costs. HDPE composite decking won’t rot, need staining, or require frequent board swaps. Proper hardware and pilings resist corrosion and movement, minimizing repairs after storms and high wakes.

We also design for future upgrades—boat lifts, PWC ports, kayak launches, and lighting—so you don’t pay twice to rework structure or power later.

Peace of Mind & Warranty

We’re fully insured, follow OSHA 29 CFR 1926 safety practices, and our team carries OSHA 10/30 training. You receive documented warranties on materials and our workmanship, plus clear owner care guidance to keep your dock looking new.

With thousands of local customers served since 2009, our references across Kemah, Seabrook, and League City give you confidence you’re hiring a proven builder.
