A pier on Cedar Bayou is the primary connection between waterfront property and the water. The bayou's brackish tidal water conditions, sandy loam over clay substrate, and tidal fluctuations, moderate boat traffic, storm surge from Trinity Bay all determine how the pier must be engineered — from piling depth and spacing to decking material and load rating.
Shore Protect Team builds piers on Cedar Bayou from treated wood, composite, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the owner's budget, maintenance preference, and exposure conditions. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in sandy loam over clay, ensuring long-term stability through the full range of water levels.

Starting at $20 per square foot for labor and materials on Cedar Bayou. Final cost depends on pier length, width, decking material, piling depth in sandy loam over clay, and any covered or specialized features.
If pilings are sound and plumb, most superstructure damage can be repaired — rotted decking, damaged stringers, corroded hardware. If pilings are leaning, broken, or settled unevenly in the sandy loam over clay, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.
