4 Ways to Create a Great Boathouse

Table of Contents

What makes a truly great boathouse? What will do the best job of ensuring you get lifelong enjoyment out of your investment? 

We’ve identified four features that help a custom boathouse shine.

#1) Using Durable, Low-Maintenance Materials

We use high-quality, weather-resistant materials when we build your boathouse. 

We make sure you spend most of your time enjoying your time out on the water rather than spending all your time on scrubbing, scraping, and staining.

When you combine excellent materials with true craftsmanship, you get a structure ready to withstand heavy use, Houston weather, and time itself, all while remaining beautiful.

#2) Lots of Space

You may need space for more than your boats! When we design a boathouse, we consider making space for all sorts of other aspects of your shoreline lifestyle, including:
  • Room for jetskis or other water toys.
  • Room for dock boxes, cleats, and safety equipment.
  • Room for entertaining or relaxing on the deck.
Site and budget constraints can reduce the amount of available size, but we work hard to help you make the most of both.

#3) Efficient Lighting

The right lighting can give your boathouse that true “vacation lifestyle” feel. It can transform a bland boathouse into a magical place. 

Lighting is about more than aesthetics, of course. The right lighting enhances safety and visibility too.

#4) Integrated Storage Solutions

The right storage solutions can make a world of difference! 

Built-in options like dock boxes or storage seating to keep dock accessories and personal belongings organized and secure can ensure you always have everything you need close at hand.
