ABOUT
At Coastal Dock and Resurfacing, our leadership is united by a shared commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, and the enduring beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Deeply rooted in the coastal communities we serve, our team brings together disciplined construction expertise, maritime knowledge, strategic operations, and refined client service — forming a leadership group uniquely equipped to build along the water with both precision and purpose.
Our foundation is shaped by institutions such as The Citadel and University of South Carolina — but it is our collective real-world experience that defines us. From complex marine operations and custom home construction to high-level project management and thoughtful client relations, each member of our leadership team contributes specialized expertise grounded in accountability and service.
We understand that a dock, seawall, or waterfront structure is more than a project — it is an investment in legacy, lifestyle, and place. That perspective shapes everything we do. Together, we are dedicated to delivering structures that are not only built to withstand the coastal environment, but designed to enhance it — combining strength, longevity, and timeless Lowcountry character with a client experience that is professional, responsive, and distinctly elevated.
