Our Range of Expert Marine Construction Services
-
Custom Boat Docks: Enhance your waterfront with a custom boat dock tailored to your style. Choose durable pilings in synthetic or wood options. Decking colors range from natural Cedar to engineered shades like Barefoot Sand. Opt for sleek cable handrails or sturdy pickets, with lighting and electrical setups customized. Roofing options include tile, shingle, or metal for added protection. Safeguard your vessel with boat lifts and cradles designed for various watercraft. Finish with accessories like cleats, bumpers, and ladders for a functional waterfront dock. (Q-ICE Builders also offers boat dock plans for purchase.)
- Boat Ramps: durable concrete boat ramps offer reliable access for marinas, municipalities, and businesses in the boating and recreational sectors. Built to withstand heavy traffic and accommodate all types of watercraft, these low-maintenance ramps meet stringent safety and regulatory standards. By promoting community access, supporting local economies, and ensuring environmental sustainability, Q-ICE boat ramps provide long-term value for both public and private settings.
- Dock Railings: Dock railings enhance safety and security by preventing falls and offering controlled access for children, pets, and visitors. Sturdy gates combined with slip-resistant decking provide additional protection, while durable materials such as aluminum, composite, and stainless steel ensure longevity in harsh marine environments. Choose from cable, picket, or glass railing options, all designed with wood, aluminum, or composite materials, balancing strength, style, and maintenance needs.
- Seawall Construction: Seawalls provide essential protection for homes, businesses, and municipalities by preventing erosion and flood damage while enhancing property value and safety. Built with durable materials like vinyl sheet piles and reinforced concrete caps, these seawalls are engineered for long-term resilience. Q-ICE seawalls are among the strongest in Florida.
- Other Marine Structures: Pergolas and shade structures enhance waterfront improvements by blending seamlessly with the architectural style of docks while offering functional spaces for relaxation, socializing, or dining. They provide essential sun protection, creating comfortable environments for enjoying your waterfront dock throughout the day. Constructed with materials harmonizing with docks, they serve practical purposes like protecting boats, hosting events, and creating inviting lounging areas.
