What our Clients Are Saying About Us

Highly recommended

I have personally and professionally used Marine Construction for all my boat dock and seawall needs. Marine Construction and owner Charlie Washburn have been professional in every aspect of my business needs. I highly recommend  this company and would never consider anyone else!
Joan Killian Everett

Creativity and Craftmanship

I bought a place on Lake Hickory. Marine Construction started out to replace my dock and add rip rap to the shoreline. But when I found out the retaining wall was failing, the scope of work expanded greatly. Working with a structural engineer, Marine Construction basically re-built the outside hardscape and landscape. Their creativity and craftsmanship made for a safe and beautiful outdoor experience.
Lori Kayler

Excellent Quality

I cannot say enough positive things about the company, the people and the product they produce. Their workmanship and quality are excellent. Once they started they never stopped until the dock was completed. There were no “do overs” and it all came together perfecting. They are attentive and informed me of each step of the process as it moved forward. I highly recommend them as a quality dock builder.
Alan Harrel

Top Shelf

All of these folks at Marine Construction were top shelf. They were efficient and easy to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend them.
Mike Johnson

Highly Skilled

Marine Construction/Charlie Washburn did a great job securing my lake wall with about 20 tons of stone. The barge crew and machine operators are very skilled to do this unique work. I highly recommend them to all lake front home owners.
Stephen Cors

Very Satisfied

We enjoyed working with Marine Construction for our stationary dock. They were very knowledgeable in the process of permitting, building the dock, and passing inspection. Charlie worked with us to customize the dock to our needs and preparing the property. Brent fixed our jetski ports to the dock and provided the finishing touches. It was a complete turnkey operation. Very satisfied!
Clifton Stiles

Amazing Restoration

Charlie and crew did an amazing job on almost 400′ of very difficult shorline restoration. I would recommend Marine Construction. To anyone. Thank you for high quality work and professionalism on site.
Ryan Grant

Fair Pricing & Quality Word

What an absolute pleasure to work with…Fair pricing and quality work. MC even built my dock 9 months earlier than scheduled because they were able to fit it while working on a previously scheduled dock down-lake. That gives us another full summer season to enjoy our new dock.
