South West Florida's #1 Marine Construction, Services and Supply Company

The timeline for dock construction varies depending on the size and complexity of your project. A typical residential dock takes 2-4 weeks from permit approval to completion. Factors that affect timing include:

• Permit processing (typically 2-6 weeks)
• Weather conditions and tidal considerations
• Custom features like boat lifts, electrical, or tiki huts
• Material availability

We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

Yes! We handle all permitting requirements for your marine construction project. Our team is experienced with local regulations in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, and throughout Southwest Florida. We'll manage:

• Environmental Resource Permits (ERP)
• Building permits and inspections
• Army Corps of Engineers permits when required
• HOA approvals and documentation

We navigate the entire permit process so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

We install and service all types of boat lifts to accommodate vessels of any size:

• 4-post boat lifts (most common for residential docks)
• PWC/Jet ski lifts
• Kayak and paddleboard lifts
• Floating boat lifts
• Vertical lifts for deeper water
• Custom capacity lifts up to 30,000+ lbs

We'll help you choose the right lift system based on your vessel size, water depth, and dock configuration.

Watch for these warning signs that indicate seawall problems:

• Visible cracks, gaps, or separation in the seawall
• Leaning or bowing of the seawall structure
• Soil erosion behind the seawall
• Sinkholes or depressions in your yard near the water
• Water seeping through the seawall
• Rusted or deteriorated tie-backs

We offer free seawall inspections to assess the condition and recommend repair or replacement options. Early intervention can prevent costly property damage.

Pile wrapping protects your dock pilings from marine borer damage (shipworms and other organisms that eat wood). In Southwest Florida's warm saltwater, unprotected pilings can be severely damaged within 3-5 years.

Our pile wrapping service includes:

• Free underwater video inspection of your pilings
• High-density polyethylene wrap installation
• Protection from marine borers, barnacles, and corrosion
• 20+ year lifespan when properly maintained

We recommend wrapping pilings during initial dock construction or as soon as damage is detected.

Pricing varies significantly based on your specific requirements. Factors include:

• Size and length of the dock
• Water depth and bottom conditions
• Decking materials (composite, wood, aluminum)
• Boat lift capacity and type
• Additional features (lighting, electrical, tiki huts, etc.)
• Site accessibility and permit complexity

We offer free on-site consultations and detailed quotes. During your consultation, we'll discuss your budget and design options that meet your needs. Most residential dock projects range from $15,000 to $75,000+ depending on these factors.

Regular maintenance extends the life of your dock and prevents costly repairs. We recommend:

• Annual inspection of pilings, decking, and structural components
• Cleaning and pressure washing to prevent algae buildup
• Pile scraping or wrapping maintenance every 3-5 years
• Boat lift service and cable inspection annually
• Immediate repair of loose boards, rails, or damaged hardware

We offer annual maintenance programs to keep your dock in top condition year-round.
