How this site works.
Our role, stated plainly.

We help you plan; we do not do the work

Orange Beach Seawall publishes bulkhead and seawall guides and helps owners prepare for a project. We are not a contractor, engineer, surveyor, inspector, insurer or government agency, and we do not perform bulkhead, seawall, dock or shoreline work.

Pictures on the site set a visual theme. They are not photos of finished projects or of any specific property.

When your request is shared

If you submit a request and agree to the consent notice, your request and contact details are shared with a local marine contractor. That contractor may then contact you about the work you described. The privacy page explains how request details are handled.

How this site may be paid

The site may be compensated for an introduction to a local marine contractor, which is why we call this a referral service. Reading the guides and sending a request cost owners nothing.

You choose your professional

You decide whether to talk with any professional we introduce. You choose the contractor, engineer or surveyor, and you sign any contract directly with them. Check the license before you agree to anything:

• Residential work above $10,000 needs a Home Builders Licensure Board license. Code of Alabama 34-14A-2 Search the board at its online licensee lookup. Home Builders Licensure Board
• General contracting jobs of $100,000 or more need a General Contractors Board license. Code of Alabama 34-8-1 General Contractors Board

The contractor check guide walks through both searches.
