I recently had Waterbridge Contractors come out and freshen/repair my dock. Scott and his team did a fantastic job in repairing my areas of concern and also identifying safety issues that I hadn’t noticed, that also needed to be addressed. The price for the repairs was very reasonable and my dock looks great and it’s more strong structurally. I highly recommend Waterbridge Contractors.

Never in my life have I ever seen a company that stands behind their product 110%. The response time is unbelievable. Scott put our original Dock in 8 years ago. He returned and designed and built a bulkhead, this last year. I called him a few times this year for some information and he was on the spot with everything their service is so great!!!

Waterbridge Contractors designed and replaced my seawall and I could not be more satisfied with the product. The work team was efficient and experienced. I got exactly what the contract had defined. There were no surprises. I asked many questions along the way and the folks at Waterbridge answered them all to my satisfaction. Thanks for a great wall. Waterbridge is my company of choice for dock and wall work.

A construction project at our home came to an unexpected halt because of a dune barrier problem. I contacted Scott at Waterbridge. He came, evaluated the problem and within a few days the problem was behind us. Raoul and his workers were excellent in being there early, working hard, and taking pride in what they did. I highly recommend Waterbridge!

Waterbridge Contractors took on a job for me that 3 other contractors refused to bid due to the difficulty of the overall project. 1 other contractor was willing to bid the job but refused to offer a time line. Not only did WBC take on the job of building a portion of retaining wall but the repaired the existing wall, the sun surface under the pads, replaced the damaged pad and fence! Even more impressive then the quality of the work? They showed up when they said the would and finished 3 days quicker than estimated! Job well done!

Waterbridge replaced our bulkhead and dock. Outstanding crew that did the construction, removing the old wall and dock, replacing it with new. They worked long days and kept the work area clean. We worked with Chappell Dew to get the project going, Scott and his team brought it to completion. We would highly recommend this company for anyone needing a bulkhead or dock!

I had a 64' wall installed by Waterbridge Contractors of the Carolinas. The crews did an excellent job. Scott stopped by a few times to check on the work and there were no disappointments. The owners were also very helpful. I recommend Waterbridge to anyone needing a wall to improve and protect their property. Built to last!

The project manager, Scott, walked me through the process of building the retaining wall by the pond. I learned a lot and he answered all my questions. He was present for supervision of the project. Please pass on my thanks for his professional kindness.The crew members were respectful. The work ethic of the crew was outstanding. The finished project is excellent. "I love it!"Another project manager, Harvey, came to see what was needed to be done for the finishing touches. The follow-up crew came after I had paid the full amount which showed that Harvey was dependable and the company is reliable.

Once they were able to start, they came in and within a couple of weeks job was started and completed. Looks good. Even our neighbors were impressed with how hard they worked to get job done timely.

We contacted another business first and we're not satisfied. We talked with Scott at Waterbridge. He came, gave a quote, started on Friday and finished on Tuesday. Very satisfied with the work and everyone involved.

Waterbridge Contractors built a large floating dock and installed it on Winyah Bay. From start to finish the entire team did an outstanding job. They paid attention to details and made sure the project was done right. I highly recommend Waterbridge Contracts.

We did a major rehab to our 17 year old pier, walkway and pier head. Plus we installed new lifts on both sides, one for jet skis.Waterbridge did a great job handling all aspects of the job. They were prompt with their quotes, they kept the job on budget, they met or exceeded the scope, among many things they did well.We even upgraded a lift mid-construction and they treated us fairly on that as well.We were very happy with them, would use them again and would recommend them to others.

My sea wall was falling in because I used the wrong contractor first. Waterbridge came, assessed the problem, suggested a solution and fixed the wall in the same week. I highly recommend Waterbridge

Scott Gibson and Waterbridge had done several jobs for me in the past for me. They do very good work and show up when they are suppose to. I highly recommend them.

Colin Wilson

Scott's an amazing contractor to work with. He gave me multiple options for updating our dock. Due to our budget we chose only one of the options which was completed within two weeks of my approval which is more miracle than anything. He personally followed up and offered us much good advice for the parts we are doing and has quickly given answers on anything I have run into since. A good company one I would tell a friend about happily.

Waterbridge Contractors built a sea wall around our grand Live Oak tree that was about to fall in the river! They took extreme care to preserve this tree and did a wonderful job on the construction! A great addition to our riverfront area! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and proficient team to do your marine work! Thank you Ricky Horne and workers of Waterbridge Contractors!

Waterbridge did an excellent job for me on our deck and floating dock. Scott came out and listened closely to what we needed, and gave me a quote. They completely rebuilt our floating dock, replaced a large portion of the deck/walkway, and stained everything. As they refurbished the deck/walkway, they actually found and fixed additional issues. They added four new support pilings that were not planned in order to be sure that everything was safe and stable. Despite this extra work, we were still charged the amount that we were quoted. Everything was done on schedule in a timely fashion. They spent more time on site than planned due to the additional problems they identified, which I appreciated. It was clear that getting it done correctly was their top priority, not cutting corners or trying to finish quickly and move on to the next job. I am not easily satisfied, but I am very happy with their work. I highly recommend Waterbridge. I have included some pictures of our deck and dock before and after their work.

Waterbridge is owned and operated by a lifelong friend. He is honest, and true to his word. I believe these qualities are what have made him the success he is!

Scott and the guys at Waterbridge did a fantastic job installing a new floating dock with gangway for our dock! They did everything they said they would do plus more. They also put in new post on our walkway to repair rotted timbers. Great job, would highly recommend them. Jim Powell

Waterbridge installed a boat lift for us, and Scott Gibson did a great job getting all the parts and people together. He was very responsive when we had questions and concerns, and was just an excellent person to work with!

Waterbridge constructed a bulkhead on the lake in back of our home along with two of our neighbors. They constructed a nice looking and very sturdy bulkhead. We have had to call them back a couple of times for small issues and they responded in a timely matter. Would highly recommend them, their pricing is very competitive.

Cecelia Gaffney

Waterbridge constructed a bulkhead along back of our HOA's property. They were very helpful and professional. During the bidding process they meet with Board members and explained the construction and answered all questions. They stayed on top of the permit process through months of waiting. Finally, they constructed a nice looking and sturdy bulkhead and built-up a grassy area behind it that all owners rave about. Would highly recommend them.

Charles Reed

Waterbridge reinforced our sea wall and constructed a new covered dock. They were very responsive and completed their work very quickly minimizing the disruption to us. The work itself was also of high quality. Scott Gibson managed our project and made sure we were satisfied with the work at each step.

Debra Zborowski

I contracted with Waterbridge to shore up my seawall and to build a dock. Scott Gibson was not only knowledgeable but very responsive and a man of his word. The crews were excellent and completed the work in an efficient manner with quality workmanship I would definitely recommend Waterbridge to anyone looking for a contractor for this type of work.

Gary Thomas

I would definitely recommend Waterbridge Contractors. They built my floating dock, deck and ramp with professional craftsmen using quality materials with "over the top" construction.

Robb Coffman

5 out of 5 stars

Professional organization with high technical skills. Had a bulkhead put in due to erosion, and it required uprooting palm trees and clearing roots. Trees were replanted, and the bulkhead has upgraded the yard considerably. Sod was laid and we are working towards a very nice back yard now. They provided all services complete, at a fair price - including obtaining correct permits and survey. Going forward, we would highly recommend them, and would not hesitate to use again.

They met every deadline I had and made me feel like I was a priority. Great customer service.

Gloria M.Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Waterbridge took care of all my permits and design work, and kept me in the loop along the way.

Keith F.Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Project went off without any problems. Couldn't have trusted a better company.

Ruby C.Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

My association with you has been a very pleasant experience. Your initial quote seemed high, however, considering the amount and quality of work completed, has been more than I expected. In an age when workmanship and dependability are merely words, you have exceeded my expectations. Thank you and God bless you in all ways.

Ann L.Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

You recently helped a good friend of mine, Rick B., by loaning him a dock float. That was an enormous help and was the biggest reason his boat didn't sink. Thank You!

David J.Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I received several estimates but nobody spent the time going over everything and giving me as many options as Waterbridge. They seemed to have more availability than other contractors.

Steve B.Pawleys Island, South Carolina

I live up north and the project was completed without me ever seeing the progress. When I came down, the project was better than I could have thought! The quality speaks for itself.

Mr. Ricky Horne

On behalf of the Blackmoor Board of Directors and the Blackmoor community at large, we would like to thank Waterbridge Contractors of the Carolinas for their outstanding job performance of rebuilding the gazebo on Bass Lake at Blackmoor.

While the original design was beyond our budgetary restraints, your estimator Scott helped with a new, less costly design to fit within our price point.

From your office personnel to your construction manager and his crew, everyone displayed a cooperative nature and a willingness to bring this project to completion. When presented with technical problems, Junior would quickly render effective and insightful solutions to move this job forward.

Once again, we appreciate the attention to detail and the overall performance of everyone at Waterbridge for a job well done.
