Overview

Dockhand Services is a full-scale marine construction company based in Hewitt, New Jersey, providing custom waterfront construction for residential, commercial and municipal clients. The company reports completing more than 500 projects across more than 65 lakes and serves lake communities throughout Northern New Jersey and New York, including Greenwood Lake and Lake Hopatcong.

Custom dock construction is one of Dockhand Services’ primary specialties. The company designs and builds both floating and permanent docks, with each system configured around shoreline conditions, water levels, property layout and the owner’s intended use.

Floating docks can incorporate wood or composite decking, marine-grade framing and hardware, anchoring systems, gangways, ramps, stairs, ladders, cleats, bumpers and other accessories. Permanent dock projects can include pile-driven supports and custom configurations designed for long-term waterfront use.

Dockhand’s capabilities extend beyond dock construction. The company performs bulkhead construction, pile driving, sheet piling and shoring, boat lift installation, shoreline hardscaping and larger commercial and municipal marine projects. Barge services are also available for projects requiring on-water transportation or lifting of docks, boat lifts and construction materials.

Custom Dock Construction

Dockhand Services builds waterfront systems around the conditions of each property rather than using a single standard configuration. Floating docks are available for shorelines where water levels fluctuate, while permanent dock systems provide a fixed waterfront structure.

Projects begin with an assessment of the shoreline and the customer’s goals, followed by planning and estimating based on the proposed design, materials and scope of work.

Marine & Shoreline Construction

For projects requiring more than a dock, Dockhand Services can combine multiple marine construction services. Its capabilities include pile driving, bulkheads and retaining walls, steel and vinyl sheet piling, shoreline improvements and heavy waterfront construction.

Its barge capabilities are particularly useful for waterfront locations where equipment or large materials are difficult to reach from land.

Best For

Dockhand Services is well suited to homeowners, HOAs, marinas, municipalities and commercial properties that need a custom dock or a more extensive waterfront project involving piling, bulkheads, boat lifts, shoreline work or barge access.
