Every once in a while, a project comes along that perfectly showcases the skill, precision, and innovation required to work on the water. This boathouse and U-dock reconstruction was one of those projects—a true demonstration of what Diamond Waterfronts does best.
This aging boathouse had reached a point where simple repairs were no longer enough. Its original foundation was failing, sections of seawall beneath it needed structural attention, and the surrounding dock had outlived its useful life. For most contractors, this would be a daunting list. For our team, it was an opportunity to deliver a complete waterfront transformation.
The project began with precision removal. Using heavy equipment and a coordinated lift plan, we carefully raised the existing boathouse off its deteriorated foundation and transported it onto land. This step alone required advanced planning, specialized machinery, and the type of experience that only comes from decades of marine construction.
With the structure out of the way, we turned our focus to the waterfront itself. We rebuilt the compromised section of seawall, reinforcing the shoreline and improving long-term stability. Once the foundation was secure, our crew constructed a brand-new U-shaped dock, complete with new pilings, upgraded framing, and a layout designed for modern functionality.
This phase required barge support, piling drivers, and meticulous engineering to ensure every component aligned perfectly for the next stage.
Back on land, our carpenters rebuilt the boathouse with stronger structural design, modern materials, and clean exterior finishes. The updated framing, roofing, and siding not only enhanced visual appeal but set the structure up for decades of reliable performance.
Once construction was complete, the boathouse was lifted once again—this time to be placed onto its new home. The reset had to be exact, aligning the structure perfectly with the newly installed dock and pilings. Our team executed it with the precision we are known for.
This project brought together every aspect of what we do:
• Dock building
• Boathouse construction and reconstruction
• Seawall repair and shoreline stabilization
• Heavy equipment and barge-supported operations
• Complex lift, planning and structural alignment
The final result is a durable, modern, and visually striking waterfront asset that will serve its owners for many years to come.
