Shoreline Contractors was incorporated in 1977 under its original name, SeaSearch. The company began as a search/salvage and diving company. By 1979, SeaSearch had begun an evolution into the marine construction industry. As the company grew in size and experience, the owners determined a new name should be chosen to reflect this growth. Thus, in 1986, SeaSearch, Inc. became Shoreline Contractors, Inc. From 1977 to 2021, Tom and Kathy Murowsky made Shoreline one of the most recognizable marine construction companies on the North Coast of America.
In 2022, Scott Mitchell took over as President after spending over 30 years learning everything he could from Tom. As a result, the Shoreline Contractors legacy continues to thrive under the same ideals and philosophies that have been in place since 1977.
Our area of service extends from the Ashtabula area to the Port Clinton and Islands area, mainly along the shoreline, including rivers and harbors therein.
