Lake Washington Residential Dock Builders & Custom Floating Docks
Marine Floats designs, fabricates, installs, repairs, and maintains custom residential floating docks and waterfront access systems for homeowners throughout Lake Washington.
From waterfront properties in Bellevue and Mercer Island to homes along the shorelines of Kirkland, Medina, and Seattle, our team builds dock systems around each property's unique conditions, boating needs, and long-term use.
Based in Tacoma, Washington, Marine Floats has been building residential and commercial dock systems throughout the Pacific Northwest since 1976. Our experience includes custom floating docks, piers, ramps, gangways, boat houses, and other waterfront structures.
Custom Floating Docks for Lake Washington Homes
A residential dock should fit the property, provide safe access to the water, and accommodate the way the homeowner plans to use it.
Lake Washington waterfront properties vary in shoreline configuration, water depth, existing structures, and access requirements. Whether you're replacing an older dock or planning a new waterfront structure, these conditions help determine the right design and materials for your project.
Marine Floats works with homeowners to develop custom dock systems that accommodate boating, swimming, personal watercraft, and other waterfront activities while considering appearance, durability, and maintenance.

Residential dock construction and replacement

Custom waterfront structures
Every dock is designed around the property, the water conditions, and the homeowner's specific needs.
Lake Washington offers a wide range of residential waterfront settings, from protected shoreline properties to locations exposed to greater wind and boat wake activity.
Water depth, shoreline configuration, vessel access, and existing dock infrastructure can all influence how a new dock is designed and installed. The right materials and construction methods also play an important role in long-term durability and maintenance.
Marine Floats works with homeowners to evaluate these conditions and develop dock systems suited to their property.
Whether the project involves a custom floating dock on Mercer Island, replacing an older structure in Bellevue, or improving waterfront access along the Kirkland shoreline, our approach begins with understanding the site and how the dock will be used.
Designed for Lake Washington's Waterfront Conditions
From Planning Through Installation
Building or replacing a residential dock on Lake Washington involves more than selecting a dock design.
Shoreline regulations, environmental requirements, permitting, access limitations, and existing structures may all affect the project. Marine Floats has decades of experience working in regulated waterfront environments and can help homeowners evaluate these considerations early in the planning process.
Our Tacoma fabrication facility allows many dock systems to be built in large sections before arriving onsite. This can reduce construction activity at the property and provide greater control over the fabrication process.
From initial planning and permitting support through fabrication, installation, and future maintenance, Marine Floats helps homeowners develop a practical approach to their waterfront project.
