CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Chrise Wise

"Hurricane Ida Update. I gave these guys a five star review 7 years ago when they built my pier and boat house. Primarily because they were great to work with and were very professional.

Now after a big hit from Ida I felt compelled to update. What can I say, my pier is perfect and my neighbors are gone. These guys know their business.

Listen to them and pay the fair price they will quote. I've been thru several storms but this was a big test and EVERYTHING is perfect!!"

Jason Alberado

“Finished product was fantastic! Solid construction that will last a lifetime. I have had 3 bulkheads/boathouses built through the years and this one built by Lamulle is the best.”

"Susan and I are extremely pleased with Lamulle Construction!!! The work on our dock & boat lift turned out fantastic. Another super aspect for us going with Lamulle Construction was the cost estimate & final bill was very good AND significantly lower than other quotes we obtained."

"Mr. Dave Lamulle built us a boat house for two boats, everything was built perfect and above my expectations. Him and his family were a pleasure to do business with & I will be contracting with him to do my pilings for the camp to follow."

Bulkhead Repair FAQs

How do I know if my bulkhead needs to be repaired or replaced?

Cracks, leaning walls, soil loss, or water seepage are signs your bulkhead may be failing. Lamulle Construction can inspect the structure and recommend whether repair or replacement is best.

What materials work best for Gulf Coast bulkheads?

Vinyl, fiberglass, and concrete perform best in the Gulf Coast’s harsh marine conditions, offering strength and resistance to rot and corrosion.

How long does a repaired or newly built bulkhead last?

A well-constructed bulkhead can last for decades when built with quality materials and maintained properly in the Gulf Coast environment.

What is the difference between bulkheads and seawalls?

Bulkheads are vertical barriers primarily designed to retain soil and prevent erosion along shorelines, often used in residential waterfront properties. Seawalls, on the other hand, are more robust structures built to protect against strong waves and storm surges, typically used in areas with higher exposure to oceanic forces.

Does Lamulle Construction handle permitting and approvals?

Yes. Our team manages all necessary permits and coordinates with local agencies to keep your project on track from start to finish.

What other marine construction services does Lamulle Construction offer besides bulkheads?

In addition to bulkheads, we offer custom boathouses, piers, docks, bridges and walkways. We also specialize in various waterfront foundations, including both raised and sla
