Made for this river
The water is the easy part. What you build in it matters.
Every shoreline, water depth, and project is different. We start by understanding how you use your property, then build a practical plan around access, durability, and the conditions of the Chickahominy.
From the first piling to the final board, one crew and one clear plan.
What we build
One contractor for the whole waterfront.
New construction, additions, replacements, and repairs for riverfront homes and properties.
Docks & piers
Custom layouts designed around your shoreline, water access, boats, and the way your family uses the river.
Boat & jet ski lifts
Convenient, secure storage that keeps your watercraft protected and ready for the next trip.
Boathouses
Covered structures that add protection, storage, shade, and a natural gathering place on the water.
Waterfront homes
Piling-supported construction and coordinated waterfront structures built for challenging sites.
The Chickahominy is home
River knowledge belongs in the plan.
The Chickahominy is not a generic jobsite. Its bends, coves, tributaries, shallow approaches, and changing conditions shape every waterfront project. Colonial Piers brings a local-first perspective to the work.
- Shoreline access
- Water depth

Built here. Used here.
