Charleston Dock Doctors
Docks, Seawalls & Boat Lifts in Folly Beach
Folly Beach takes storms head-on. Docks on the Folly River and Folly Creek, walkways over the marsh and dunes, and the walls that hold back the back-side marsh all see more wind, surge and salt than structures farther inland. Seasonal storms can hit Folly Beach hard, sometimes leaving nothing left to repair.
Charleston Dock Doctors builds new docks and walkways, repairs storm damage, and tears out and rebuilds failed structures across Folly Beach. Pile extensions and solid tie-offs for floating docks are worth considering before hurricane season, and we can add them to an existing dock.

How It Works
Our Process
Site visit & honest assessment
We walk the site, read the water and the existing structure, and tell you straight whether to repair, rebuild or start new.
Design, scope & permits
We size the structure to your tides, soil and goals, put the scope in writing, and guide you through permitting with the relevant agencies.
Built around the tides
Our crew schedules pile driving and framing around tides and weather, keeps the site tidy, and keeps you updated as work moves.
Walkthrough & care
We walk the finished work with you and explain what to watch for so it lasts through Charleston salt, sun and storms.
Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
JP and his Charleston Dock Doctors rebuilt our floating dock and replaced the worn gangway boards with new composite WEARdeck. His crew worked late to finish on time, and the cost was substantially less than the next closest bid.
The best contractors I have ever dealt with. On time, reasonable price, job done quick, and they cleaned up after themselves. Zero complaints, and I will recommend them to everyone I know.
I cannot express enough how organized and determined JP and his team were. They worked around the tide and weather and completed the job to a high standard. Highly recommend.
