Building for the water you have

Dock construction across Southwest Florida covers a wide range of conditions: shallow residential canals where clearance is the constraint, open bay frontage where wind and chop drive the engineering, and Intracoastal properties dealing with wake from constant traffic. Each of those needs a different structure.

We build all three. What stays constant is the sequence — measure, design, permit, drive, build, wire, walk through — and the fact that the owners are on the job rather than managing it from a truck three towns over.

Construction methods

Structures are built on driven pilings, sized and spaced for the exposure at your property.

  • Fixed docks — the standard for stable water depth and consistent tide range
  • Floating docks — for large tide swings or where a fixed deck height will not work
  • Multi-tier and stepped designs where the bank drops away sharply
  • Boathouses and covered slips for sun and weather protection
  • Composite, Ipe or pressure-treated decking, priced side by side

What you get in writing

A written proposal defining the scope and options. The applicable permit documents. A one-year labor warranty alongside manufacturer warranties for the components installed; transfer terms vary and should be confirmed from the paperwork.

Questions

How much does a new dock cost?

It depends on length, piling count, decking material and how difficult the site is to reach — which is why a per-foot number would be wrong for many properties. Request a written proposal that defines the scope and priced options for your site.

Do you build boathouses?

Yes. Covered slips and boathouses are engineered for wind load the same way the dock below them is, and in most jurisdictions they need their own permitting — which we handle.
