Why Topsail Beach is different

FAQ
Questions about Topsail Beach dock builds
>
Do I need a town permit on Topsail Beach?
Yes. Topsail Beach requires a town review on top of the CAMA general permit. We handle both.
>
How shallow is too shallow for a floating dock?
A floating dock needs about 18 inches of water at low tide. We probe the bottom on every site and recommend a fixed pier or hybrid if depth is borderline.
>
Are your docks hurricane-rated?
Yes. We frame to refusal-driven pilings and use stainless hardware throughout. Most of our Topsail Beach docks survived Florence intact.
