Featured Case Study
This Lake Dunlap property started with an aging boathouse and an unstable bank. We demolished the old waterfront, stabilized the shoreline with limestone quarry block retaining walls, and rebuilt it as a double boathouse with a concrete upper patio and a second patio at the water's edge. Land access was limited, so the crew worked almost entirely from our marine barge.
Also Recently Completed · Lake McQueeney
A full south-side waterfront set on dry ground while the lake was down for the dam work: a double boathouse with bank excavation, two 20x20 ft swim platforms, more than 300 feet of CLOC vinyl bulkhead, and a 5-foot concrete sidewalk cap.
Read the case study What Property Owners Say
They were meticulous, precise, and very respectful of the surrounding property. They cleaned up the place beautifully. You don't get contractors much like this anymore. They gave me updates every day.
Chad Johannesen with Waterfront Unlimited is professional, does what he says when he says he'll do it, and is good at communication. My project was completed in a timely manner and looks very nice. I would recommend them to anyone.
Their responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to help on short notice saved our weekend. Great customer service, quality work, and a company that truly takes care of its customers. I highly recommend them.
Waterfront Unlimited did a fantastic job on my waterfront and deck. It looks beautiful, the work was professional, and the price was reasonable. They did so well I hired them again to build a boat lift. I would not hire anyone else.
What to Expect
We self-perform all structural, steel, and marine construction with our own crew, and we're on-site daily throughout every project.
Property owners have direct access to the project lead. Questions are answered promptly and clearly, not routed through layers of management.
Every project has a defined schedule with consistent daily presence from start to finish. No gaps, no guesswork about when work resumes.
We operate exclusively on Central Texas lakes. Our equipment, crew, and experience are concentrated here, not spread across distant regions.
Service Areas
Common Questions
Permits, materials, timelines, and how to get started.
Yes. Permitting is handled in-house on every project. A GBRA construction permit and a county permit are typically required for dock, boathouse, and bulkhead work, and we manage the applications and agency coordination in parallel with construction planning, so approvals are ready when the crew is.
Yes. We self-perform the work with our own crew and keep a consistent daily presence from start to finish. The project keeps moving, and you always know who to talk to.
We are barge-equipped, so demolition, pile driving, and construction can be staged from the water on properties where land access is tight. Steel pilings are driven to refusal for a stable foundation regardless of how the site is accessed.
Boathouse and dock frames are built with steel and decks are poured concrete. These materials outlast wood by decades and eliminate the maintenance cycles that come with wood construction.
Yes. We build bulkheads and limestone block retaining walls for shoreline protection and stabilization, on their own or as part of a larger build.
Standalone dock projects typically run about two to four weeks. Full waterfront rebuilds that include shoreline work and a boathouse take longer, and every project is given a defined schedule up front.
Based on extensive experience across Central Texas lakes, we typically use navy-style vinyl wall panels. These are driven into the lake bed using an excavator-mounted hammer, not by hand, which ensures consistent depth and proper structural performance. Depending on location and soil conditions, panels are typically driven three to six feet into the lake or river bed.
All boathouse structures are built using steel framing driven to refusal with heavy equipment. Driving pilings to refusal, the point where they cannot be driven further into the lake bed, creates a foundation with maximum structural stability. This approach is a key reason our structures have consistently performed through flood events on Central Texas lakes.
Yes. Upper-level concrete patios are a common addition to boathouse projects. These are built with steel framing and poured concrete, creating a durable elevated outdoor space above the boathouse structure.
We install custom cradle lifts for ski boats, pontoon boats, and jet skis. Every lift is sized and configured to match the specific watercraft and the property's waterfront conditions. Single and multi-lift configurations are available.
Key factors include how pilings and foundations are driven (heavy equipment vs. by hand), whether the contractor handles permitting in-house, whether they have barge capability for water-side access, and whether they can provide references and photos of completed projects on your specific lake. The foundation and construction methods matter more than surface-level finishes.
