Residential Clients

"We have been exceptionally pleased by the high quality of Pickering Marine. They not only provided great customer service, but also gave us a well-designed, built, and installed pier on our family property."

- Elizabeth F. / Durham, NH

"I enthusiastically recommend Pickering Marine. They are utterly trustworthy and understand the WHOLE project, from beginning to end."

- Peter R. Worrell / Portsmouth, NH

"Our experience with Pickering Marine has been great. You handled the permitting process - all seven of them - very efficiently. What we most enjoyed about the experience was seeing our dilapidated dock removed in one piece and deposited on the barge. Our narrow lot prohibited any work and/or machinery from land and we watched with amazement the building of the dock on the barge. Remarkable."

- Anne & Al W. / Portsmouth, NH

"Ken, we are very pleased with your work and the piles. You, Doug and the crew at Riverside have been most accommodating and very pleasant to work with. My neighbors have expressed the same feelings."

- Spencer Struble / Dover, NH

"About 7 years ago, I called Pickering Marine to build our first-ever pier based on a referral from an aquaintance. My wife and I decided to have the permitting, design and construction handled by Pickering Marine, figuring they would do it faster and easier than I could. It was obviously the right choice to make because they built it right, from start to finish. I never had one callback or needed anything corrected in my 7 years of ownership.

We just contracted with Pickering Marine to build our second pier project at a new house, and decided once again to let them obtain all the necessary permits and approvals. We can't wait to see a new pier, ramp, and float at our present home, knowing that it will be designed and built properly and in a timely fashion, just like the first one.

- Steve B. / Portsmouth, NH

However, Riverside Marine's skilled crew got us up and running by our opening date. We didn't have to turn anybody away! We were so satisfied that we have chosen Riverside to be our exclusive marine contractor."
