Docks
Marine-grade lumber, galvanized hardware, decades of life. Pile-driven foundations.
Lake Guntersville is the largest lake in Alabama — 69,000 acres of Tennessee River reservoir stretching 75 miles. We work the lake from our Chattanooga base, designing and building docks across the residential shoreline.
Lake Guntersville covers 69,000 acres across Marshall, Jackson, and DeKalb counties in northeast Alabama — the largest lake in the state, impounded by the Guntersville Dam in 1939. Famous for trophy bass fishing and an active residential dock market.
Like Chickamauga and Nickajack to the north, Guntersville has steady seasonal levels (only ~2 ft of fluctuation) which opens up the full range of build options. Fixed docks are common for residential builds; floating docks make sense at the deeper points.

Marine-grade lumber, galvanized hardware, decades of life. Pile-driven foundations.
Tide Tamer, Floatair, WaveArmor, American Muscle — sized to your hull.
Custom drawings, permit packages, build estimates — designed for the lake.
We file every permit, pay the $1,000 fee, and manage TVA review end-to-end.
Guntersville's combination of large surface area, stable seasonal levels, and active residential dock market makes it a productive build environment. Fixed docks dominate; the design challenges are usually about shoreline access, neighbor setbacks, and wake load from the lake's heavy boat traffic.

TVA permits handled, fees included, in-house crew on every build. Same-week site visits typical.
Yes — Lake Guntersville is within our normal working range. We barge equipment and crew the same way we do for East Tennessee lakes.
The 26a process is the same — TVA's authority is the same on Guntersville as on Chickamauga. We file, cover the fee, and manage review.
Fishing-focused builds are common — we spec rod holders, casting platforms, and live-well-friendly layouts on a regular basis.
4–7 months including TVA permit time. The Alabama logistics add a small amount to the schedule for material and crew transport.
Fixed for most properties — the steady levels favor it. Floating still makes sense for deeper points and owners who want zero step-down at full pool.
