Composite decking offers maintenance-free performance in all water conditions. Aluminum frames resist corrosion on saltwater sites exposed to Gulf storm surge and salt marsh tidal conditions. Concrete provides maximum strength for commercial applications. Shore Protect Team evaluates your High Island site conditions and recommends the material that fits your property goals and budget.

The salt dome clay with sand substrate and coastal marsh conditions in Galveston County affect long-term piling performance. Regular inspection after storm events extends pier service life significantly.
Repair (from $20/sq ft) is appropriate for rotted individual deck boards, isolated beam damage, or select piles showing deterioration while the main structure remains sound on Gulf of Mexico and salt marsh. Repair is typically 40 to 60 percent less expensive than replacement. Full replacement is needed when structural piles are compromised throughout, repeated storm damage has affected the same sections, or the pier has exceeded its service life. After major weather events affecting High Island and Galveston County, Shore Protect Team provides professional inspection to determine the most cost-effective solution.
