Docks, Seawalls & Boat Lifts in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant waterfront ranges from deep-water lots on the Wando River to marsh-front homes along Hobcaw, Horlbeck and Shem Creeks and the Intracoastal Waterway. Many of those lots need a long elevated walkway across the marsh before they reach water deep enough for a boat, which makes the pierhead, gangway and floating dock at the end of it the part you live with every day.
Charleston Dock Doctors builds new docks, adds floating docks and boat lifts to existing piers, and repairs and maintains the walkways, pilings and seawalls that take a beating from wakes and storms on Mount Pleasant's busier water. We know the Wando's current and the wake on the Waterway, and we size pilings, floats and gangways for both.
Waterways We Work On

How It Works
Our Process
Site visit & honest assessment

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.
FAQs
Mount Pleasant Dock Questions
Other Areas We Serve
Do you build docks in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Mount Pleasant is one of the areas we work in most, from the Wando River to Shem Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Can you add a boat lift to my Mount Pleasant dock?
Often, yes. We check whether your pilings can carry the lift first, and drive new pilings if needed. As an authorized Hurricane dealer we offer the full Hurricane line.
Do you repair docks damaged by wakes on the Waterway?
Yes. Wake-driven wear on floats, gangways and pile guides is common on busy water, and it is a regular repair for us.
