Watersmith Construction, Inc. was established in 1984 in Olympia, Washington, by master carpenter Hank Kappert, who recognized the need for superior craftsmanship in the dock industry of South Puget Sound. Under Hank's vision, the company focused on constructing high-quality docks, which have become a hallmark of many lakes across Thurston, Mason, and Pierce counties, as well as throughout Washington State. As a family-owned and operated business, Watersmith Construction has expanded its offerings over the years to include pile driving, waterfront stairs, and saltwater docks, providing a comprehensive range of waterfront construction services.
The transition of ownership to international marine engineer Bradley Smith marked a significant turning point for the company. Under his leadership, Watersmith Construction achieved new levels of sophistication and professionalism, allowing it to undertake a wider variety of challenging projects. The company prides itself on delivering efficient, effective, and economical design/build solutions tailored to meet the needs of both residential and commercial clients.
With a portfolio that includes not just the construction of docks but also the design of piers and boardwalks, Watersmith Construction aims to maximize the value and usability of waterfront properties for its customers. For over 35 years, Watersmith has built a reputation for reliability and excellence, as reflected in the testimonials from satisfied clients. The company's legacy continues as it remains dedicated to upholding high standards of service and quality in every project, making them one of the leading dock builders in Washington State.
