Shore Protect Construction is a marine construction company with more than 20 years of waterfront experience. We design, build, and maintain bulkheads, seawalls, piers, docks, retaining walls, pile driving, and boardwalks for property owners across Texas, Illinois, and six more states along the Gulf Coast and Midwest.
Every waterfront is different — a sheltered freshwater lake, a tidal bay, a canal cut, an eroding bank below a finished lawn. We don't sell a one-size catalog. Each wall is engineered for its site: water type, bank height, soil, access, and how long the owner intends to hold the property. Our crews work in marine-grade vinyl, CCA-treated timber, steel sheet pile, concrete, riprap rock, gabion, and Rip Rap Scrim systems — and we recommend the material that fits the job, not the one with the highest ticket.
From the first site walk to the final walkthrough, the same company handles design, permitting coordination, construction, and long-term maintenance. That continuity is why our estimates hold up: the person who scopes the work is part of the team that builds it.
Roman Ross is the marine construction estimator at Shore Protect Construction. When a homeowner calls about a failing bulkhead or a new seawall, Roman is the person who walks the site, measures the shoreline, checks access and water conditions, and turns all of it into an honest, itemized estimate.
He scopes and prices bulkhead, seawall, and pier projects across Texas, Illinois, and the company's wider service area. Roman also writes the real-project breakdowns published here on the Shore Protect blog — the linear-foot pricing, permitting notes, and material trade-offs that most contractors keep behind a sales call. The goal is simple: give waterfront owners the same numbers and reasoning we use internally, so they can make a confident decision before anyone signs a contract.
Tell us about your waterfront and we'll put a real number on it — no obligation. Request a free site estimate and Roman will walk you through the options for your site.
