Jim Crook and Eastern Piling Driving, LLC have worked on our dock several times over the past five years. They have installed a boat lift, two jet ski lifts, a boat ramp, replaced all pilings and completely replaced all the decking. Each of these individual replacements were done at different times, as needed, which allowed us to use our dock as needed in the boating season and to spread the cost of repairs and changes. Jim is knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, and just a real good guy!
He started by giving us a great assessment of what we would need to do to make our dock safe and accessible. Jim then helped us establish a plan to replace the aging structure over several years to alleviate the financial burden. His suggestions for equipment were brilliant for new boaters. We have excitedly eased into living on the water.
Each time Eastern Piling Driving, LLC has completed a job, they have done so in a timely and thorough process, insuring no interruption in our day.

Jim’s company has done an extensive amount of work at our Dorchester County home, and the work has always been at the highest level of professionalism, quality, and integrity.
My husband and I have over the years retained Eastern Pile Driving to build a new pier, install bulkhead at the shore line, build a jet ski lift, maintain a boat lift, and devise a method of erosion control at our private beach area. Jim has proven many times to be creative in his work, responsive to our needs, and fair in his pricing. At all times, he has taken an extraordinary level of personal interest in each job, whether large or small. His company’s work has been dependable and trustworthy without exception.
We first met Jim after a storm had damaged our boat lift, and he came to the rescue repairing the lift in a very short time. Seeing the way Jim worked, there was no question that we wanted his company – and only his company – to build a large, new pier at our home on Fishing Creek. He handled all of the permitting and constructed a beautiful pier that is rock-solid and will last for generations.
As example of Jim’s creative solutions to a client’s needs comes to mind with his construction of a new jet ski lift. Jim devised a way to build a walkway by the lift for easy access to the far side of the jet ski. He also helped my husband and me solve an erosion issue in a low cost, practical way that was all his idea. Our rare private beach is no longer at risk.
For these reasons and many more, we most highly recommend Eastern Pile Driving because of Jim’s experience, skill, honesty, and hands-on approach to his company’s work. We would be pleased to speak to anyone who is considering retaining Jim’s company.

Mr. Ed Weatherby
From the moment we first discussed the possibilities of revetment along our badly eroded waterfront, you made it clear that you could provide an attractive and effective wall that no one else would even attempt. It was a beautiful job and a great improvement, appreciated by all!
Your crowning achievement, however, was the lovely pier that you built to my particular specifications, fulfilling a long-awaited wish. Thank you for making it "within the realm of possibility"! In spite of the delays precipitated by the MDE, you then began and completed the job immediately, as promised. We watched much of the work as it was being done, and were very impressed with your team. They were professional, patiently informative, knowledgeable, and friendly! We were amazed at how quickly and with what careful precision the pier was completed. I very much appreciated your own excellent ideas, enthusiasm, professionalism, and especially your cheerful, "Can Do" attitude. It was a pleasure doing business with you, and you can surely be proud of this job well done. We are so pleased! Thank you!
