Access Beyond the Shoreline
Gilley Marine Construction provides custom pier construction for residential and commercial marine use. Our piers are designed around site conditions, intended use, and long-term performance. From private access piers to larger commercial structures, every project is planned to handle water movement, weather exposure, and daily use.
WHY CHOOSE GILLEY'S CUSTOM PIERS
A properly designed pier is more than just access to the water, it supports daily use, changing water conditions, and long-term structural demands. Custom pier construction allows the layout, materials, and installation method to be matched to water depth, soil conditions, and intended use, rather than relying on prefabricated designs that may not perform over time.
At Gilley Marine Construction, we approach every pier project with safety, reliability, and durability in mind. As a locally and family-owned company, we understand regional water conditions and construction requirements. We are fully insured and bonded, providing added protection and peace of mind throughout every phase of the project.
Marine structures face constant exposure to tides, weather, and wear. When issues arise, timely action matters. That’s why we offer emergency services to address damage, safety concerns, or structural failures that need immediate attention. From initial planning through completion, our goal is to deliver a pier that performs reliably and meets both functional and regulatory requirements.
Our Custom Pier Services
New Pier Construction
Every shoreline is different, and your pier should reflect that. We build custom piers based on how you’ll use them, how your water moves, and what your site calls for. From layout to materials, each build is planned around real-world conditions not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Pier Repairs & Replacements
Piers take a beating from weather, water, and time. When boards weaken, pilings shift, or structures start showing age, we handle repairs, rebuilds, and full replacements to get things back to solid, safe condition.
Residential & Commercial Piers
Whether it’s a private pier behind your home or a heavier-use commercial setup, we build with the same focus on strength and reliability. The goal is simple: a pier that holds up and does what it’s supposed to do.
Materials & Construction Methods
We use marine-grade materials and construction methods chosen for real coastal conditions. Tides, currents, storms, and long-term exposure all factor into how we build.
With projects in areas like Orange Beach, Ono Island, Mobile Bay, Perdido Key, Pensacola, and Navarre, we build with local water conditions, weather patterns, and regulations in mind. Our team understands what works in Gulf Coast waters and what doesn’t.
