Poquoson is nearly surrounded by water, with the Back River, the Poquoson River and the Chesapeake Bay on three sides and tidal creeks winding through its neighborhoods. Its low elevation makes bulkheads, shoreline protection and storm-ready piers and lifts especially important. Below are local marine contractors who serve Poquoson. Contact them directly; there are no lead forms and no middleman.

Permits in Poquoson
Most waterfront projects in Poquoson 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 Poquoson’s planning department for local requirements and fees. Most contractors handle the paperwork for you, so ask when you get an estimate.

757 Waterfront is a free directory, not a contractor. A listing isn’t an endorsement. Each listing shows the contractor’s Virginia license as the state lists it (what the badges mean); always check insurance and references before you hire.
