Hampton’s waterfront stretches from the Back River and Fox Hill to the Hampton River, the Salt Ponds and the Chesapeake Bay shoreline at Buckroe Beach. Low-lying neighborhoods and Bay exposure make bulkheads, shoreline protection and sturdy piers a constant concern. Below are local marine contractors who serve Hampton. Contact them directly; there are no lead forms and no middleman.

Permits in Hampton
Most waterfront projects in Hampton start with a Joint Permit Application, which is shared with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the city’s own wetlands review. Contact the City of Hampton’s planning department for local requirements and fees. Most contractors handle the paperwork for you, so ask when you get an estimate.
