Build Custom Docks That Last
Hand-drawn blueprints and owner involvement shape every project from start to finish.
Construct Docks Built Around Your Lake
Owner-drawn plans and proven materials across East Tennessee
East Tennessee Boat Dock Co serves homeowners along Watts Bar Lake, Chickamauga Lake, and Fort Loudoun Lake with custom residential dock construction, repairs, and boat lifts. Based in Ten Mile, the company is a father-and-son operation that's been building docks since 1984 and operating under its current name since 1994. Every project starts with a hand-drawn blueprint created by the owner to fit your specific shoreline and goals.
You'll work directly with the team to select materials, finalize dimensions, and plan installation around your access and timeline. Pressure treated lumber, composite decking, and metal roofing options give you flexibility without sacrificing durability. Each dock is built with professionally driven piles that anchor the structure and keep it level through years of use.
East Tennessee Boat Dock Co stands behind new builds with a twelve-month warranty that excludes weather-related damage, and the company maintains a firm policy never to construct anything that compromises safety or structural integrity. Whether you're adding a boathouse, replacing an outdated system, or starting fresh, the focus remains on matching your vision with solid craftsmanship.

Working Through Design and Installation
You'll begin with a site evaluation and design session where the owner sketches your dock layout by hand, accounting for water depth, shoreline contours, and how you plan to use the space. From there, material choices are confirmed, pile placement is mapped, and a build schedule is set that keeps you informed at each stage. This approach removes guesswork and gives you a clear picture of what to expect before construction starts.
Once work begins, the crew drives piles, frames the structure, installs decking, and adds features like boat lifts or metal-roofed boathouses according to the approved plan. You'll see progress unfold in a predictable sequence, and any adjustments are discussed on-site to ensure the final result aligns with your original intent.
This method supports a range of waterfront projects, including:
- New custom residential docks designed for your property and matched to your family's boating and recreational needs
- Full dock replacements that address structural wear and upgrade aging systems with modern materials and safer footing
- Targeted repairs that reinforce weak sections, replace damaged decking, or reset piles without rebuilding the entire structure
- Boathouses and covered slips that protect vessels from sun and weather across Watts Bar, Chickamauga, and Fort Loudoun
