If this sounds like you
You sit on the board of a Cedar Creek waterfront community — Pinnacle Club, Long Cove, Indian Harbor, Sunset Bay, Caney City, or one of the older 70s/80s waterfront subdivisions — or you handle property for a Lake Athens deeded-lot association. The original common-area docks, ramps, and bulkheads are 40+ years into their service life now and members are voting on capital assessments. You need a contractor who can present at the board meeting, document the work, clear TRWD or AMWA shoreline review on schedule, and handle the politics — not just swing a hammer.
