Houston is a huge, varied waterfront market — freshwater on Lake Houston, brackish bayous feeding Galveston Bay, and the heavy-duty Ship Channel corridor. Jordan Marine Construction works across all of it, from residential docks and bulkheads to commercial and HOA-scale projects.
What sets us apart in Houston is engineering depth. We do licensed, engineered bulkhead and shoreline work, not just residential docks, which matters for the commercial properties, HOAs, and lake communities throughout Harris County. We sort out the right permitting authority for each location and build to it.

The Houston area spans freshwater (Lake Houston), brackish bayous, and the industrial Ship Channel. Materials and structural design change with salinity and exposure — we match treatment levels and bulkhead systems to each specific waterway.
Permitting
Waterfront work in Houston can fall under several authorities depending on location — the City of Houston for Lake Houston piers, Harris County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Galveston District for navigable waters, and TCEQ for certain shoreline work. We identify and secure the right permits for each site.
Houston Marine Construction FAQs
What permits do I need for a dock or bulkhead in Houston?
It depends on the waterway. Lake Houston piers go through the City of Houston, navigable waters involve the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Galveston District), and some shoreline work touches Harris County or TCEQ. We determine the correct authority and handle the permitting for your site.
Do you do commercial and HOA marine construction in Houston?
Yes — commercial, HOA, and lake-community work is one of our strengths. We do licensed, engineered bulkhead and shoreline projects that residential-only dock builders can’t, which is why HOA boards and property managers across the Houston area work with us.
