Building Dreams on Water
Crafting custom docks and boathouses with four decades of expertise, quality craftsmanship, and a passion for Lake Anna waterfront living.
Boathouses
Boathouses, custom-built to your specifications, offer not only shelter for your watercraft but also a space for unique add-ons like boat lifts, audio/visual systems, and slides, enhancing your waterfront experience.
Marine Construction
Marine construction encompasses a range of specialized services, including pile driving and the construction of seawalls and retaining walls, tailored to withstand the unique challenges posed by waterfront environments, ensuring the longevity and stability of your structures.
Dock Repairs
Dock repairs are essential for maintaining the safety and functionality of your waterfront infrastructure, ensuring that lift motors, cables, belts, and bunks are adjusted for optimal performance and longevity.
The Process
1. Request an Estimate
Contact Mid-Atlantic Dock Builders to schedule an on-site or virtual consultation with our team. We’ll take the time to understand your goals, discuss your property, and begin bringing your waterfront vision into focus.
2. Property Review
Our team takes a close look at your shoreline, property layout, water conditions, access points, and any relevant setbacks or HOA requirements. This helps us understand the unique characteristics of your lakefront property and plan a dock or boathouse that fits both the site and your vision.
3. Custom Design & Planning
Our team develops a custom concept that fits your shoreline, lifestyle, and budget. This may include dock layout, boathouse size, roof style, materials, boat lifts, PWC lifts, swim platforms, and additional features.
4. Detailed Budget & Proposal
You’ll receive a clear proposal outlining the scope of work, materials, estimated timeline, and pricing. We believe in straightforward communication and transparent planning from day one.
5. Confirm Structural Needs
If your project requires structural engineering, we coordinate the necessary details to help ensure your dock or boathouse meets applicable safety, load, and design requirements.
6. Navigate the Approvals
Mid-Atlantic Dock Builders helps coordinate the permitting and approval process, including Dominion Energy, county, and HOA requirements when applicable, so you don’t have to handle the paperwork alone.
7. Choose the Finishing Touches
Choose the finishes and features that make your project your own, from decking, roof style, and railings to lifts, lighting, electrical options, and accessories that complete your waterfront space.
8. Bring the Build to Life
Once permits are approved and final details are confirmed, your project is scheduled for construction. Our experienced marine construction team builds with precision, safety, craftsmanship, and respect for your property.
9. See the Finished Result
After construction is complete, we walk through the finished project with you, answer any questions, and make sure everything meets Mid-Atlantic Dock Builders’ quality standards and your expectations.
