Boat Slip & Boat House Construction Built for the Gulf Coast
From single slips to full covered boat houses, Deep South Marine Restoration constructs waterfront structures engineered to handle saltwater, tidal cycles, and Gulf Coast storm conditions.
In addition to repairing docks, pilings, and bulkheads, Deep South Marine Restoration offers turnkey construction services for all your marine projects.
As always, we will customize your design to make it as simple or elaborate as you like. Need a single slip boat dock for your jet ski? Maybe, a party platform or a wide side boat dock would be better if you like to sit closer to the water. Would you prefer a double slip dock for multiple boats? Whatever your preferences, we've got you covered... literally.
Gulf Coast Boat Slip and Boat House Specialists
Building a boat slip or boat house on the Gulf Coast requires more than standard carpentry. Saltwater corrosion, wood-boring organisms, tidal cycles, and hurricane wind loading create a uniquely demanding environment for waterfront structures. Deep South Marine Restoration builds with these conditions in mind from the first piling to the last fastener.
What We Build
- Single and double covered boat slips
- Open boat slip additions to existing docks
- Full boat house structures with roofing and walls

Built to Last With Our Protection System
Every new construction project we complete incorporates our patent-pending piling wrap and encapsulation system on all structural pilings. This means the pilings supporting your new boat slip or boat house are protected from day one — no waiting for biological damage to occur before treating.
Permits and Compliance
Waterfront construction in the Gulf Coast region involves coordination with local, state, and federal permitting agencies. We work with property owners to understand what permits are required and help navigate the process. Requirements vary by state and water body — contact us early in your planning process so permitting timelines do not delay your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

We build single and double boat slips, covered boat house structures, open slip systems, floating dock slips, and custom configurations. All are designed for Gulf Coast conditions — saltwater corrosion, tidal variation, hurricane wind loading, and marine organism exposure.
We recommend and use materials appropriate for the specific location and use case. For wood construction, we use pressure-treated lumber rated for saltwater marine environments. We also incorporate composite decking and marine-grade hardware that resists saltwater corrosion. For pilings, our patent-pending wrap and encapsulation system provides the longest service life.
Yes, most waterfront construction projects require permits from local, state, and potentially federal agencies (Army Corps of Engineers). Requirements vary by location, water body type, and project scope. We have experience navigating the permitting process in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Texas and can guide you through what will be required for your project.
Absolutely. Adding a covered boat house structure over an existing slip is a common project for us. We assess the existing piling structure to confirm it can support the roof load, reinforce as needed, and construct the frame and roofing. We can also incorporate boat lifts, electrical, and lighting as part of the project.
Project duration depends on scope, permit timeline, and site access. A straightforward single slip addition to an existing dock can often be completed in a few days of actual construction time. Larger boat house structures with custom features take longer. We provide a detailed project timeline during the planning phase.
