Dock building

Florida dock builders

A new dock should fit your water, your boat, and your county's code — and last decades in salt. We connect you with vetted, licensed Florida dock builders, and coordinate seawall, lift, or piling work on the same project.

What we build

From simple piling docks to multi-slip wrap-arounds — the full range of Florida residential dock work, delivered by vetted local crews.

Fixed & piling docks

Traditional dock builds engineered for your water depth, tide swing, and boat size.

Wrap-around & multi-slip docks

Multi-slip and wrap-around layouts for multiple vessels or expansive shorelines.

Composite, wood & aluminum decking

Choose the decking that fits your budget, aesthetic, and maintenance appetite.

Gangways & finger piers

Bridging spans, articulated gangways, and finger piers for tricky access or tidal water.

Power, water & dock lighting

Shore power, freshwater, and low-voltage lighting run by licensed partners.

Built for Florida

Built for Florida water

Salt, sun, tide, and storms are hard on docks. Our partner crews build with materials and details chosen for what Florida actually throws at the waterfront.

Marine-grade hardware

Stainless and hot-dip galvanized fasteners chosen to survive salt air and full immersion.

Permits, setbacks & marine code

Licensed partners handle county permits, setback requirements, and marine code compliance.

Engineered for tide, current & storm surge

Piling depth and framing sized for your specific water — not a one-size template.

Decking options

Three good choices — the right one depends on your budget, your look, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Composite

Low-maintenance, salt-tough, and no splinters — the modern default.

Wood

Classic look and cost-effective. Pressure-treated pine or premium hardwoods.

Aluminum

Light, salt-tough, and stays cooler underfoot in Florida sun.

One project

One waterfront, one crew

Most new-dock projects touch other trades — a seawall behind the dock, a lift on top of it, fresh decking down the line. We coordinate the whole waterfront through vetted local crews.

FAQ

Common questions about dock building

How much does a new dock cost in Florida?

It depends on length, water depth, decking material, piling type, and any add-ons like lifts or shore power. The free on-site inspection produces an itemized quote from a vetted local crew so you see the real number for your water — not a guess.

Do I need a permit to build a dock?

Yes, in nearly every Florida county. Permits and setback rules vary by county and water body. Our licensed partners handle permitting and the marine code so you don't have to chase paperwork.

How long does a dock build take?

Once permits are in hand, a typical residential dock takes a few days to a few weeks of build time depending on size, decking, and access. The bigger unknown is the county permit timeline, which we'll walk through with you upfront.

Composite, wood, or aluminum decking?

Composite is the low-maintenance default. Wood is cheapest up front and refinishable. Aluminum is lightweight and stays cooler in the sun. The inspection walks through the tradeoffs for your dock and your budget.

Do you also handle seawalls and lifts?

Yes. Seawalls, boat lifts, and pilings are core services. Many owners bundle a new dock with lift or seawall work on one project — one inspection, one plan, one point of contact.
