About Blue Horizon

Family-owned and operated, lake by lake.

Blue Horizon is family-owned and run by Christian, Sergio Sr, and Sergio Jr Rodriguez. We build, repair, and replace docks on every major lake within reach of Chattanooga — and a long list of private lakes in between.

Every dock leaves our shop on driven posts or marine-grade aluminum frames, with hardware spec’d for the water it lives on. No subbing it out. No surprise hand-offs. From the first shoreline walk to the final board, you talk to the people doing the work.

No job too big or too small — top of the line or basic, we can build it all. It’s worth a call to find out if we can suit your budget.

Process

From shoreline walk to cast-off in four phases.

01

Lake-Side Consult

We walk your shoreline. Sun angle, depth, drawdown, sight lines — all logged before we draw anything.

02

Blueprint & Quote

Floating or fixed, slip layout, lift sizing, decking material. A real plan and a real price.

03

Permits & Approvals

We file the paperwork and cover the $1,000 TVA fee. Your job is to wait for the water.

04

Build & Hand-Over

Our crew on our barge. Finished dock with lifts installed and tested. No punch list, no hand-offs.

Field Capability

We bring the barge.

Our own work barge, our own crane, our own crew. We don’t sub the install out to a third party with a different idea of how the dock should sit on your shoreline.
