"Hired them to install a wooden privacy fence and Mo was my point of contact and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had. Work was done on time and he proactively came back to inspect the work and made some fixes for things he didn't deem up to par. Excellent customer service."

When you suffer from a fire or from serious water damage, it can be frustrating and overwhelming. Once 911 has been called, there are so many other things to think about. You will probably ask yourself, “What type of restoration company should I call? What exactly needs to be done? Why a restoration or mitigation company. Well- a few reasons. When your home has no power or it’s completely under 3 or 4 feet of water with the possibility of getting electrocuted or worse. It’s the fact that we can work anywhere at any time because eight times out of 10 we are prepared for a disaster that’s what we do. Some guys like me I’ve been doing it for over 10 years. You should look up the company IICRC- now what that is is the standards of cleaning mitigation and restoration. If it’s worth it they will send you to school to learn all these necessary skills and certificates. I have many. Water specialist- commercial drying specialist. Content cleaning specialist- an applied structure drying- to dry the bones of the house. From their biohazard and or crime scene and trauma. I have hoarding and unsafe homes cleanups. If it needs to be cleaned- fixed and as CLOSE to as it was prior to the loss. I will also help you navigate through the insurance loopholes and most times I can deal with them on my own. My whole slogan is “we go crazy so you don’t have to” Chances are you have children or worked all day and the last thing you want to do is a big cleaning for a spring or ahead and clean. Or mold inspections or there might be some humidity in house we have to try it out and we have the equipment for it. There’s nothing we can’t do.

We are a full service General Contractor but we also offer many small services to help you with any needs. We do all kinds of new construction from residential to commercial and also offer many maintenance choices from your yard to your roof.

"Communication was great. The house is tall and on a hill. We talked to 3 different companies about doing the work. One company chose not to do it because the house is tall and sits on a hill. Of the other two companies, Total Construction had the best estimate and the people were so nice. I'm so glad they came out to do the work. Each day they cleaned up behind themselves and made it easy for my family to live in the home even though the work was being done. Everything looks so nice now. I know some of my neighbors will be using this company now because they loved watching the work & the outcome!! Great Company!!! Highly recommended!!"

Water dock building services FAQs

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
