TESTIMONIALS
"When I realized that my boathouse was on the verge of collapsing, I contacted who I felt was the only choice for quality repair: Shoreline Construction. They delivered exceptional quality and professionalism from start to finish. Their team was reliable, detail-oriented, and exceeded expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them!"

"Shoreline Marine Construction built a new seawall and boat dock on our property after removing the old. The entire process from getting the necessary permits, picking out materials to the completed project was accomplished professionally and in a timely manner. Suzanne, Derek and their entire crew were knowledgeable, friendly and quick to answer any of my concerns. In short, I can’t imagine having a better building experience. The entire crew went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Shoreline Marine Construction."

“Shoreline completed both our seawall and boat dock projects last year and they were wonderful to work with. They are very professional, get the job done right in a timely manner, and their quality of work exceeded my expectations. I love working with Shoreline and wouldn't consider anyone else for future marine construction projects on Indian Lake.”

“Superb customer service combined with unsurpassed skill and workmanship along with insistence on top quality- rare these days. But that's what I got from the folks at Shoreline. Derek and the crew exceeded my expectations with the quality of their work. Just as impressive was their courtesy and dependability. Add to that, Suzanne's impeccable customer relations and communication skills and you have the "Shoreline Experience." What a delight in these days when such excellence is seldom encountered.”

ABOUT US

WE ARE LAKE PEOPLE
Shoreline is a marine construction company based in Indian Lake, Ohio, run by the husband-and-wife team, Derek and Suzanne Gillespie. With deep roots in the community — both having grown up with family homes on the lake and now residing there year-round — they have a long-standing connection to the water. Derek founded Shoreline Construction in 2007, initially focusing on boat docks and seawalls around Indian Lake. As the business expanded, Suzanne took on office responsibilities, helping to manage the growth.
The company's reputation soon spread to nearby lakes such as Grand Lake and Buckeye Lake, leading the Gillespies to pursue more challenging commercial projects. They now handle a diverse range of work for clients including the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Honda, Diamond Manufacturing, AES, Spend-A-Day Marina, McDonald’s, many condo associations and engineering firms. Despite their broader scope, Indian Lake remains their home base, though they now spend much of the year on commercial endeavors. READ MORE
