Docks, bulkheads & coastal homes built to last.

What we build
On the water and on land
One crew for the whole waterfront: the pilings, the pier, the wall that holds the shoreline and the house that looks out over it.
On the water
Docks & Piers
New docks, long marsh-crossing piers and full rebuilds, framed on driven pilings and built for salt water.
Learn more Bulkheads & Seawalls
Bulkheads, seawalls and stone rip-rap that hold your shoreline in place against tides and storms.

Boat Lifts
Boat lift installation on new or existing piers, with the pilings and framing to carry the load.

From the mud line up
The part you can’t see is the part that matters
On the coast, every structure starts below the surface. Britton Marine drives the pilings for docks, piers, boat lifts and raised homes, then builds on top of them. You get the foundation and the finished work from one company, so nothing gets lost between trades.
- Pilings for docks, piers, lifts and homes
- Framing, decks, porches and stairs
- Bulkheads and rip-rap to protect the shoreline
- Interior finish work when the shell is done

Why Britton Marine
A builder who knows the water
Water and land, one crew
Marine work and home construction under one name. The company that drives your pilings can build what goes on them.
Built for salt and storms
Tides, wind and salt air are hard on anything near the water. We build with that in mind from the first piling.
You talk to the owner

A local, family business
Based in Chincoteague and working up the shore into Sussex County. We are building our name one project at a time.

What areas do you work in?
We are based in Chincoteague, Virginia and work across Virginia’s Eastern Shore and Sussex County, Delaware. If you are close by and not sure, call and ask.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Call or send the details of your project and we will set up a time to look at it.
Do you only do marine work?
No. Alongside docks, piers, bulkheads and boat lifts, we build raised coastal homes and handle remodeling and interior finish work.
Can you help with permits for work on the water?
Most work over tidal water needs approval before it starts. We talk through what your project is likely to need as part of the estimate.
