Lake Placid’s dam is complete and the lake is refilling — Waterfront Unlimited is building now.
Lake Placid is part of the Guadalupe River lake system in Guadalupe County, Texas, located near Seguin. The dam reached completion in early 2026 and the lake is actively refilling. For property owners on Lake Placid, this is the moment many have been waiting for — the opportunity to build, rebuild, or upgrade boathouses, docks, and shoreline structures that were deferred during the dam rehabilitation period.
Waterfront Unlimited has experience building on Lake Placid. We understand the construction conditions here — the shoreline grades, the access considerations on various properties around the lake, and the permit requirements with GBRA and Guadalupe County. We are actively building on Lake Placid and scheduling new projects now that dam construction is complete.
Single, double, and triple boathouse construction with integrated cradle lift systems. Steel pilings driven to refusal, steel framing, and poured concrete decks. Upper-level patios available on all configurations.
New dock construction and complete waterfront rebuilds using steel pipe pilings and concrete. Built for decades of use.
Personal watercraft lift and pivot systems on existing or new boathouses and docks. Sized for your specific watercraft.
Shoreline protection and bulkhead construction. Especially timely as the lake refills and water pressure returns to shorelines that were exposed during the drawdown.
Every boathouse and dock project on Lake Placid starts with steel pipe pilings driven to refusal — the point where the piling cannot advance further into the lake bed. This creates the most stable foundation the site conditions will support and is a primary reason our structures perform consistently through flood events on the Guadalupe River lakes.
Boathouse and dock frames are built with steel. Decks are poured concrete. These materials were chosen for durability in Central Texas waterfront conditions. Homeowners who have watched wood structures deteriorate over a decade on these lakes understand the value of building with materials that do not rot, warp, or require constant maintenance.
Waterfront Unlimited is one of the few marine construction companies on the Guadalupe River lake system equipped with a marine barge. On Lake Placid, this allows us to access and build from the water side — essential on properties where terrain or lot configuration limits land-side access.
Bulkhead and retaining wall work is particularly common on Lake Placid, where many properties have shoreline conditions that benefit from stabilization. As the lake refills, water pressure is returning to banks that were exposed during the drawdown — making bulkhead work especially timely for property owners who have not yet addressed their shoreline.
Waterfront Unlimited builds steel sheet pile bulkheads and limestone quarry block retaining walls on Lake Placid depending on site conditions and property owner preferences. Bulkhead work often accompanies a boathouse or dock project — the shoreline is stabilized first, then the waterfront structure is built on a secure foundation. Standalone bulkhead projects are also available.
A GBRA construction permit is required for dock, boathouse, and bulkhead projects on Lake Placid. A Guadalupe County permit is also required. Waterfront Unlimited — based in New Braunfels, TX and serving the full Guadalupe River lake system — manages all permitting coordination in-house — permit applications are handled as part of every project, in parallel with construction planning, so approvals are in place when the crew is ready to build.
Yes. Lake Placid’s dam is complete and the lake is actively refilling. Waterfront Unlimited is scheduling and building on Lake Placid now.
We build single, double, and triple boathouses, docks, jet ski lifts, bulkheads, and retaining walls. All boathouses and docks use steel pipe pilings driven to refusal and poured concrete decks.
A GBRA permit is required for all dock, boathouse, and bulkhead projects. A Guadalupe County permit is also required. Waterfront Unlimited handles all permitting in-house.
Yes. Bulkhead work is especially common on Lake Placid. As the lake refills, water pressure is returning to banks that were exposed during the drawdown — making shoreline stabilization particularly timely.
Yes. Our marine barge provides water-side access on properties where terrain or site configuration limits land-side equipment staging.
Standalone dock projects typically take 2 to 4 weeks. Full waterfront rebuilds including a dock, boathouse, and bulkhead may take 6 to 10 weeks. We maintain a daily crew presence throughout every project.
The lake is refilling and construction is underway. Waterfront Unlimited welcomes the conversation.
