Ambrose Homes, Inc. offers three types of seawalls: Wood, Vinyl & Concrete. Ambrose Homes' has all the technology, machinery and skill level needed to complete 100% of the seawall in house. A seawall is a vertical shoreline stabilization structure that that provides shoreline protection from waves and retains soil. Seawalls can be constructed from a variety of materials including concrete, wood, and vinyl.  Seawalls are typically located on the coast fronting beaches, and are subject to storm surges with pounding surf, eroding shorelines and wave overtopping from coastal storm events.

Wood seawalls are historically the most popular choice of material in residential seawall construction. A wood pile/wale/sheet system is a common seawall bulkhead configuration. With proper treatment the service life for a wood bulkhead is approximately 20 years. CCA is Pressure Treated lumber or Pilings that have been pressure-impregnated with a preservative which makes the wood resistant to attack by marine borers that cause wood to decay. Vinyl seawalls are a relatively new product with service life of over 50 years. Vinyl sheet piling has made traditional materials like wood, steel, concrete, and aluminum obsolete. Traditional materials have no performance guarantee, and begin breaking down almost immediately in a salt-water environment.Vinyl seawalls are available in a variety of different colors and best of all; the material will not rust, decay or corrode in the marine environment. One manufacturer of vinyl seawall material Ambrose Homes uses is Everlast Synthetic Products (ESP). A concrete seawall is appropriate where there is heavy ice and wave action. Our concrete walls are designed with the proper calculations for the balance of passive and active pressures that will affect the wall from season to season.
