Waterline installed my dock. The crew was great and dock looks great. Just make sure you get everything from them before they leave and you pay them. They are impossible to get a response from or come back once they are gone. I had small issues I wanted corrected but I could not get a response back. So I lived with the minor issues. Also, a couple years later the dock railing is now very loose and looks unsafe. I called and did not hear back from them. I happened to see Stiles working on my neighbors dock and asked him to take a look. He promised he would send over guys to fix it and also add a few additional cleats that I wanted added, but then I never heard from them again.

Waterline Construction has a poor product and horrible service. Don't make my mistake and lose tons of money dealing with Waterline Construction. The company takes way too many shortcuts and does sloppy work. There are way too many problems with my dock and gazebo to list. The owner has been promising to fix them for nearly a year, and at this point will not return my phone calls or emails. Per Mr. Hecker, the owner, he needs help and is looking for someone to buy half of the company. In the meantime he is leaving me high and dry with an uneven dock, 23 messed up deck boards, support beams for the gazebo that have been so countersunk with bolts, the roof sturcture is virtually supported by 2 x 2's, and unsquare roof, unsquare beems, jagged and extremely sloppily cut gavalume roofing, bowed and bent metal, parts of the contract unfinished, it's an enormous mess. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH WATERLINE. PER THE OWNER THE COMPANY IS IN HUGE FINANCIAL TROUBLE, AND IT SHOWS THROUGHOUT THEIR WORK. I've been screwed out of many thousands of dollars, don't let them take your money too. If you would like to see the crappy work in person, come to 3210 Stoneybrook Lane, Tampa, 33618.

Waterline replaced our 210 linear feet of seawall for our condo association. I am the President of the association. I could not be more pleased! The quality of their work, they did everything they stated they would do and the finished product exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend them!! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Waterline has done a great job for us twice, adding on a lager dock, lift and roof back in 2003, and again a couple of years ago changing out all of the surface wood boards to composite boards. Now, no maintenance! Everything is still solid, since 2003, which is 14 years! Pat and his staff are all terrific!!
