Water Structures

What Water Structures does

Water Structures is a Seabrook, New Hampshire-based, privately held specialty-trade company founded in 1989 that designs, fabricates, installs, and maintains custom architectural water features and prefabricated baptismal fonts. The company serves architects, builders, and end-clients across commercial real estate, hospitality and gaming, healthcare, religious institutions, education, government, and luxury residential segments, with an installed base of more than 600 custom water features across nearly every U.S. state plus international sites in Sicily and Japan. Its product portfolio spans water walls, fountains, reflecting pools, dry deck fountains, and baptismal fonts, all produced at its New Hampshire fabrication facility and differentiated by a proprietary water containment shell backed by a 20-year limited no-leak warranty and a 10-year limited product warranty.

The business model is a single-source, project-based operation: Water Structures employs its own design support team, in-house fabricators averaging more than 10 years of experience, and trained installation crews rather than subcontractors. Revenue is generated through custom design-build-installation contracts (multi-year, quote-based with design development offered at no charge), recurring monthly maintenance service programs covering both Water Structures-built and third-party features, renovation and remodel work on existing water features, and hardware sales of prefabricated baptismal font equipment packs. Distribution is exclusively direct, with installation and service centers in New York, Boston, Washington D.C., and New Jersey supporting a national project pipeline sourced primarily through architectural and builder relationships; the firm does not use digital marketing, distributors, or third-party resellers. Notable project examples include multi-feature installations at Mohegan Sun, M Resort Spa Casino, Virgin Atlantic Club House at JFK, Olympic Tower, and Liberty Mutual's corporate headquarters.
