Docks & Bulkheads in Margate, NJ
Bulkheads, docks & lifts for Margate’s bayfront and lagoon homes.
We build and replace bulkheads, docks, pilings, and boat lifts for Margate’s bayfront and lagoon homes, and handle house demolition for rebuilds across the city.
Margate’s bay side is lined with lagoon homes where the bulkhead is holding up the whole backyard. We build walls and docks that stand up to the tides and flooding, and we help you through the city and NJDEP permit process along the way.
What we build in Margate
We know the water in Margate
Margate sits at the south end of Absecon Island, and storm tides push up the Beach Thorofare into its bay-side lagoons. The city’s bulkhead ordinance sets a minimum top elevation of 8.0 ft NAVD88 for bayfront, canal, and lagoon bulkheads — and it applies to new walls, replacements, and larger repairs. We build to that height, with solid tie-backs and backfill, to keep the bay out of the yard.
We’re a short drive up the island from Margate, so estimates and site visits are quick — and because we also demolish homes and drive pilings, we can help with a full rebuild, not just the shoreline.
