Mathews County is almost entirely surrounded by water, with the Chesapeake Bay to the east, Mobjack Bay to the south and the Piankatank River to the north, plus countless creeks like Horn Harbor, Winter Harbor and the East River. Exposed shorelines and low-lying land make erosion control and storm-ready docks especially important here. Below are local marine contractors who serve Mathews. Contact them directly; there are no lead forms and no middleman.

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