Our Services

  • Docks

    We build fully customized, high-quality docks. We install pilings up to 40 feet and use traditional framing for any size or shape. From decking, electrical, and roofing to built-in seating, bar tops, lighting, and storage, we handle it all. We use marine-grade lumber, stainless steel fasteners, and top-quality DSS decking for durability and longevity. At Dellefave Contracting, we create docks that are built to last and designed to impress.

  • Seawalls

    Seawalls, typically constructed from fiberglass-reinforced vinyl, are built for strength and durability. Panels are installed at a 1:1 ratio, meaning their depth matches their above-ground height, ensuring stability and preventing erosion. By reinforcing the shoreline, seawalls protect and preserve waterfront properties. We offer a variety of finishes, including composite, wood, concrete, or any material to match the client’s preference.

  • Boat Houses And Lifts

    Our custom-built boathouses and lifts are designed to fit each client’s specific needs and vessel. We ensure secure, precision lifting for boats up to 32,000 lbs., using custom cradles for optimal support. Our services include installation, remote-control operation, and ongoing maintenance and repairs to ensure long-term safety and reliability. We believe in safety and durability in the design process and material selection.

  • Decks

    High-quality decking is essential for ensuring your structure stands up to harsh weather and frequent use over time. We prioritize safety and functionality, incorporating handrails, non-slip materials, and lighting into designs as needed. From electrical installations, lighting, and storage solutions to seating, umbrella holders, and even built-in hot tubs, the possibilities for customization are endless!

  • Walkways

    Our custom walkways enhance properties by seamlessly extending around homes, pools, wetlands, or backyards. We use marine-grade wood for framing and DSS lumber or composite decking, based on client preference. Designed to fit any length or width, our walkways can even be elevated to accommodate wildlife or pedestrian passage, creating a functional and visually appealing connection from land to dock.

  • Gazebos

    Our custom-built gazebos are crafted from marine-grade lumber or Ipe, offering both durability and elegance. Designed to provide shade and enhance outdoor spaces, we construct gazebos in any size or shape, tailored to the location and purpose. Each structure is built to complement the client’s unique style, creating a functional and visually appealing outdoor retreat.

  • hardscapes

    Hardscapes provide beautiful contrast to natural vegetation, featuring elements like rocks, walkways, paths, and sanded areas. These additions reduce maintenance and water usage while enhancing the overall landscape. Hardscapes can also be designed for recreational activities, such as sand volleyball courts, making them both functional and visually striking additions to any outdoor space.
