Reviews

What clients are saying

Straight from the customers we’ve worked with across the Lowcountry.

★★★★★

"Excellent product and service. Contractor was immediately and successfully responsive to all questions and issues."

— David W., via Angi
★★★★★

"Very professional work, excellent clean up. Zach kept me informed each day of their progress and did a final walk through on the dock with me to make sure I was satisfied with the job. I have recommended this company to my friends."

— Catherine L., via HomeAdvisor
★★★★★

"Barrier Island recently built my new pier head and dock. If you’ve been through the process you know dealing with DHEC can be a pain, not to mention the contractors. Zach and his team guided us through each step, assisted with permitting and planning. And when it comes to execution, this team nailed it. I’d 100% recommend Barrier Island dock and marine for your waterfront needs. Their attention to detail and efficiency is second to none."
