Expertly Crafted Custom Docks Built for Strength, Style, and Longevity
A custom dock isn’t just a structure—it’s an investment in lifestyle, safety, and property value. At DockFitter, LLC, we specialize in designing and building docks that blend technical precision with aesthetic appeal, ensuring every detail—from foundation to finish—performs flawlessly against the coastal elements. With over 25 years of marine construction expertise, we’ve mastered the art of crafting docks that endure Gulf Coast weather, elevate shoreline beauty, and enhance functionality for residential and commercial clients alike. Every build begins with an understanding of water depth, tidal behavior, and usage requirements, allowing us to deliver a dock that’s as reliable as it is refined.
We proudly serve Biloxi, Mississippi, and nearby coastal regions including Gulfport, Ocean Springs, D’Iberville, and Pascagoula. The Biloxi Bay and Mississippi Sound bring unique environmental conditions—rising tides, soft soils, and saltwater exposure—that demand both engineering skill and local knowledge. Our team understands these coastal nuances and builds docks designed to last through every season. Whether you’re constructing a private dock for your waterfront home or developing a commercial pier for marine access, our approach ensures your structure withstands the test of time and tide.
What sets our work apart is the balance between strength and sophistication. We integrate top-tier materials, precise pile-driving methods, and marine-grade hardware to create a structure that performs beautifully while complementing your shoreline. Each dock is tailored to its environment—crafted to meet both function and form. DockFitter’s process is transparent, detail-driven, and deeply personal, ensuring your waterfront project reflects your vision while meeting every regulatory, safety, and performance standard.
Our Dock Construction Services
Floating Dock Construction
Floating docks are ideal for coastal areas with fluctuating water levels. They adjust naturally with tides, maintaining safe, stable access for vessels. Built with buoyant, weather-resistant materials, these docks deliver durability, flexibility, and reliable performance across all water conditions, ensuring long-term usability and low-maintenance operation.
Fixed Dock Construction
Fixed docks are anchored on durable pilings, offering superior stability in deeper waters and heavy-use environments. Their solid, stationary design supports commercial and residential applications, providing dependable access, safety, and performance even under challenging marine conditions, ensuring your waterfront remains functional and secure for years to come.
Covered Dock and Boathouse Builds
Covered docks and boathouses protect boats and gear from UV exposure, rainfall, and salt spray. These structures merge visual appeal with practicality, offering shelter and easy access to watercraft while improving property aesthetics and overall dock longevity through well-designed, weather-resistant construction.
Dock Lighting and Power Installation
We design and install complete electrical systems for docks, including lighting, power pedestals, and charging outlets. These upgrades enhance safety, visibility, and convenience for nighttime activities, allowing smooth operation of boat lifts, equipment, and entertainment systems while complementing the dock’s appearance and functionality.
Dock Foundation and Pile Driving Services
Every reliable dock begins with a strong foundation. Our precision pile-driving services use concrete, steel, or treated timber to deliver stability and load-bearing strength. Engineered for local soil and tidal conditions, these foundations ensure long-term safety and resilience against coastal movement or environmental stress.
Dock Renovation and Expansion
Our renovation and expansion services modernize and extend existing docks with new materials, platforms, and safety enhancements. We reinforce structure integrity, upgrade components, and improve design aesthetics—creating docks that meet modern performance standards while preserving the stability and strength of your original build.
Benefits of Custom Dock Construction
Built for Your Specific Needs
Each dock is engineered to meet your exact requirements, factoring in site conditions, water depth, vessel size, and intended use. This tailored approach ensures superior performance, function, and longevity—whether for personal recreation, fishing, or commercial marine operations—without the compromises of prefabricated systems.
Enhanced Property Value and Appeal
A professionally crafted dock elevates both the functionality and market value of any waterfront property. Beyond access and convenience, it enhances visual appeal and lifestyle quality—making it a lasting, high-ROI improvement that attracts buyers and boosts overall shoreline aesthetics and usability.
Long-Term Durability Against the Elements
Engineered with premium marine-grade materials, our docks resist corrosion, UV degradation, and impact from tides and storms. This durable construction reduces maintenance, extends service life, and ensures performance that withstands years of coastal exposure and changing environmental conditions.
Safer Access and Docking Operations
Safety is integral to every design. Non-slip decking, reinforced handrails, and precise elevation adjustments ensure stability and security for users and vessels. These features provide confidence and protection during boarding, loading, and routine use—regardless of tides or shifting water conditions.
Sustainable and Eco-Conscious Construction
We build with sustainability in mind. Our eco-conscious process uses non-toxic materials, reduces seabed disturbance, and incorporates energy-efficient construction methods. This ensures environmental harmony while producing resilient, long-lasting docks that meet modern ecological and performance standards responsibly.
Tailored Aesthetics and Functionality
A custom dock should complement its surroundings. From integrated lighting and storage to premium finishes and lift systems, we design docks that blend seamlessly with your property’s architecture, reflecting your lifestyle while maintaining superior functionality and cohesive visual harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a custom dock?
The timeline depends on design complexity, permitting, and weather conditions. On average, most docks are completed within four to eight weeks, from approval to final installation. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time for customization and foundation work.
What materials are best for dock construction?
Marine-grade materials like pressure-treated wood, composite decking, and aluminum ensure durability in saltwater environments. These materials resist corrosion, UV damage, and decay—delivering long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance, even under heavy coastal exposure.
Do I need a permit to build a dock in Biloxi, Mississippi?
Yes, most dock projects require permits from local or state environmental and zoning agencies. DockFitter handles all necessary documentation and submissions, ensuring your project complies with Biloxi’s coastal regulations and environmental standards before construction begins.
What’s the difference between floating and fixed docks?
Floating docks adjust with tide changes and are ideal for shallow or variable water levels. Fixed docks, on the other hand, are anchored to pilings and remain stationary—offering enhanced stability, strength, and durability in deeper or more exposed coastal areas.
How do I maintain my dock for longevity?
Regular cleaning, visual inspections, and hardware checks help prevent decay and corrosion. Annual maintenance by professionals ensures structural integrity and safety—particularly after storms or seasonal changes that can affect coastal dock stability.
Can existing docks be modified or expanded?
Yes, most docks can be extended or upgraded with additional platforms, lifts, or accessories. Our team evaluates your structure’s foundation and condition before designing modifications that meet your space, design, and usage goals safely and efficiently.
How do tides and currents affect dock design?
In Biloxi’s tidal waters, dock design must account for elevation, wave action, and current direction. Our engineers use local hydrodynamic data to determine appropriate deck height, piling depth, and anchoring to ensure long-term resilience in all coastal conditions.
Why choose a custom-built dock over prefabricated options?
Custom docks provide better alignment with site conditions, vessel types, and personal preferences. Unlike prefabricated kits, they offer superior durability, safety, and aesthetic integration—ensuring your waterfront investment meets your exact needs and withstands local environmental challenges.
