Why Gulf Coast Property Owners Choose Deep South
Patent-Pending System — Not Just a Service
Most marine contractors use the same materials and methods that have been around for decades. Deep South Marine Restoration developed a patent-pending piling wrap and concrete encapsulation system purpose-built for Gulf Coast marine environments — specifically engineered to stop the wood-boring organisms that conventional treatments fail to contain long-term. We are the ONLY dock piling repair company offering this process.
Save 40–70% Compared to Full Replacement
Full piling replacement means permits, pile driving, dock reconstruction, and significant materials cost. Our system repairs and permanently protects existing pilings at a fraction of that cost. We give every customer an honest assessment — if replacement truly is the right call, we will tell you. But in most cases, our system is the smarter financial choice.
Free On-Site Inspections — No Pressure, No Obligation
We believe in earning your business through expertise, not pressure. Every engagement starts with a free on-site inspection. We assess every piling, document the damage, and give you a straight answer about what is needed. No upsell, no scare tactics. If your pilings are fine, we will tell you that too.
50 Years of Combined Experience in Marine Construction
Our team brings over 50 years of combined experience in Gulf Coast marine construction. We understand the specific marine organisms, tidal patterns, water chemistry, and storm conditions of each area we serve — from Lake Pontchartrain to Galveston Bay. This local expertise makes our work more effective and our inspections more accurate.
