Not a list of contractors. A reasoned recommendation.
Shoreline should know a lot and show only what helps you decide. Every match is tied to clear fit criteria and supporting evidence.

The first three research profiles include nine historical Charleston County DOCK permit associations. Shoreline keeps the recorded role visible instead of turning raw permit counts into a quality score.

Permit association is evidence of activity or involvement, not proof of quality, completion, or contractor role unless the public record says so.
How Shoreline knows
We do the homework.
Deep data stays underneath the experience. The homeowner sees the decision, the reason, and then the evidence if they want to inspect it.
01Public evidence
Licenses, permits, business records, project history, and reliable public sources.
02Verified pro profile
What the business actually does, where it works, and what Shoreline can support.
03Private fit criteria
Desired jobs, exclusions, minimum scope, capacity, lead time, and intake needs.
04Your project
Your words, photos, location, timing, and the few follow-ups that actually matter.
05Explainable match
Rules determine fit. Shoreline tells you why the contractor was matched.

These profiles are compiled from public business information and role-labeled permit evidence. They remain unclaimed until the businesses verify their information and opt into Shoreline introductions.

Who needs to approve this?
Understand which project details determine the likely permitting path before you start calling around.
Repair, replace, or assess first?
Learn which signs change the conversation from routine repair to structural evaluation or replacement.
What does a pro need to see?
Location, symptoms, photos, access, timing, and a few project-specific details are usually more useful than a guessed budget.
Have something going on?
Start with what you know.
You do not need to identify the trade or estimate the price before asking for help.
