Remodels, additions and island renovation
Almost all residential work on Wilmington Island is renovation, since the neighborhoods filled in decades ago. A Wilmington Island kitchen gut, roof replacement or addition takes one standard unit at the driveway end for two or three months at a time.
Lots on Wilmington Island are wide but wooded, with live oaks that leave no room for a truck to swing off the drive. We work out a Wilmington Island placement at drop time and the driver holds that same spot through the whole rental. A Wilmington Island driveway is usually the only surface firm enough to hold a pump truck after a week of afternoon storms.
Docks, bulkheads and marsh-edge construction
Dock rebuilds, boat lift work and bulkhead repair run constantly along the Wilmington Island creeks. A Wilmington Island dock crew gets a standard unit and a handwashing station at the top of the yard, because nothing heavy goes down the bank to the marsh.
Permitting and marsh buffers shape where a Wilmington Island crew can work, and they shape our placement too. We keep Wilmington Island units well back from the buffer line, which also keeps them on the only ground a service truck can use.
Tides, humidity and storm preparation
Wilmington Island sits low, and a spring tide pushes water up the ditches and into the yard on the marsh side. A Wilmington Island unit set on that low ground floats or leans, so we place on the drive or a shell pad above it.
Summer humidity means Wilmington Island jobsites use a unit harder, and most move to twice-weekly service from June through September. When a storm is named we strap or pull Wilmington Island units before the causeway gets busy with traffic leaving.
