How to Find the Top Marine Construction Company in NC
How to Find, Evaluate and Hire a Professional Marine Construction Contractor
What is the Single Most Important Aspect of Any Marine Structure? Similar to a house, the structural integrity of any marine structure relies on a strong foundation.
When you hire Logan Marine, your foundation piles will be hammer driven with up to 10,000 ft/lbs. of energy in every blow, offering the most supportive AND held down installation available. In addition, we protect your timber piles against worm infestation.
These two methods alone will alleviate two leading causes of marine structure failures:1) Loose Foundation Piles and 2) Worm Infested Foundation Piles.
It all Begins and Ends at the Foundation...... but we realize that's probably not enough to get your full buy in, so here's a few more key factors to consider before hiring a marine contractor:
12 Questions You Can Ask To Avoid Marine Construction Projects Filled With: Missed Deadlines, Surprise Price Increases and Sloppy Finish Work
Company Reputation and Business Practices
- Are you currently licensed as a general contractor in the state of North Carolina?
- Can you provide proof that you carry General Liability, Jones Act and USL&H government mandated Workers Comp Insurance?
- Do you maintain business accounts with local suppliers and are those accounts in good standing?
- How many client references will you be providing?
Materials and Installation Methods
- What method do you use to install pilings?
- How do you protect pilings against worm infestation?
- What type of wood preservatives should be used for marine construction projects?
- What type of fasteners do you normally use for framing and decking connections?
Experience, Service and Follow Through
- Will you provide a detailed written bid with a price guarantee prior to starting?
- Do you use employees or subcontractors to complete your installations? (Individuals that work by the hour should have taxes deducted from every paycheck. If not, they are considered a subcontractor.)
