THE COASTAL-GRADE BUILD STANDARD

What goes into every build

Marine-grade lumber

Pressure-treated from the treatment yard, never a big-box store.

316 stainless fasteners

On the saltwater side. Galvanized fails in 5-7 years here.

Pilings driven to refusal

Not to a number. To refusal. Every single one.

USA-made components

HDPE float drums, galvanized frames, stainless cables.

FROM MARK LIPE

Every board, fastener, and piling is listed on the estimate. No "miscellaneous," no surprise change orders. The estimate is the estimate.
