TESTIMONIALS "Inlet Marine has built two elaborate projects for us. Three years ago they built a pier with a float; the project was complicated because of riparian rights issues, but Chuck Archer and his staff stayed cheerful and supportive while that was untangled, and adapted the plans to suit what we were allowed to build; the resulting handsome pier has been steadfast through storms that damaged neighbors' piers built by other firms. We also notice that our pier is much more level than others around us. We sit on the comfortable bench built by Chuck's crew on the end of the pier when friends visit, or just when the sun is setting; we use the float to launch a kayak at every opportunity. We have found the float to be the key to getting into the boat often. The second project was replacing our decrepit bulkhead. Our old one was leaching soil from the yard at more than one inch per year, but of course we had to replace it with something the city wetlands board would approve. We were finally approved to install one half rip-rap and one half "living shoreline", and the installation was amazingly quick. We are waiting for the new grasses planted by Chuck's crew to establish themselves, but we believe the end result will look natural and lovely." ~ Satisfied Customer "My experience with Inlet Marine has been gratifying at all stages of the installation of the bulkhead, dock and boatlift project they did for us. Their staff consulted with me at the beginning of the project and made a number of very helpful suggestions that addressed the specifics of our site. They facilitated the permit process. And they were tireless and extremely professional in the execution of the work on the project. The bulkhead and dock they installed, has enhanced our property immensely and continues to be a focus of enjoyment for our family. Thank you, Inlet Marine!" ~T. W. Neumann, Sterling Point, Portsmouth "Our 800’ pier, with dock and boatlifts, was completed about 3 years ago by Inlet Marine.  Dealing with Chuck Archer and his crew was without question a most pleasant experience.  Their work ethic, behavior, care for protecting the marsh, and special attention to keeping our property clean and free of debris was appreciated by us…and our neighbors.  We have had two major nor’easters with high winds and extreme tides that submerged our structure, and ultimately left behind tons of marsh weed, tree stumps, and decking and piling from adjacent piers. Our pier and dock, though, sustained absolutely no damage!  It is our pleasure to recommend Inlet Marine to others." ~ Happy clients, Jim & Lynne Hodges "We hired Inlet Marine to install our wooden bulkhead and boat lift and were extremely pleased with their work ethic. Chuck was particularly attentive to our needs and was on the job site often to ensure things were going according to plan. We wouldn’t hesitate a moment to recommend their services". ~ Linda and Mick Kauffman REFERENCES Pier and Boatlift Mr. Jim Hodges 27 Riverside Dr., Smithfield, VA (757) 357-9661 Wooden Bulk Head, Pier and Boatlift Mr. Theodore Neumann 2436 Sterling Point Dr., Portsmouth, VA (757) 483-6515 Vinyl Bulkhead Mr. Byron Walker 4525 Templar Dr., Portsmouth, VA (757) 483-9830 Wooden Bulkhead Pier Floating Dock Tom and Debbie Coulter 2428 Sterling Point Dr., Portsmouth, VA (703) 728-9415 Wooden Bulkhead Pier and Lift Mick and Linda Kauffman 132 Gold Crest Dr., Chesapeake, VA (757) 523-9716
