Custom Dock Design, Building & Repair

Custom docks built to look good, last, and handle daily use on South Florida's water.

Dock Services

Built for the Way You Use Your Waterfront

Your dock is where the boat goes out, where people gather at sunset, and where a lot of South Florida living actually happens.

We design and build docks that look good and hold up. We use marine-grade materials made for saltwater, paired with engineering that accounts for tidal movement, storm surge, and vessel weight. And because we're licensed for electrical and plumbing in-house, dock power, lighting, and water lines are handled by our own team instead of being subbed out to whoever's available. Whether you need a simple fishing dock, a full-service multi-slip configuration, or repairs after a storm, we build it to last.

FAQ

Dock Building Questions & Answers

What dock materials last longest in South Florida?

Composite decking paired with fiberglass or concrete pilings offers the best longevity in our saltwater environment. Composite boards resist rot, UV fading, and marine growth, while fiberglass pilings are immune to marine borer damage. For a budget-friendly option, pressure-treated southern yellow pine remains popular, though it requires periodic maintenance and has a shorter lifespan of 15 to 20 years.

How long does it take to build a new dock?

A typical residential dock build takes 2 to 4 weeks from construction start to completion. However, the permitting phase can add 4 to 12 weeks depending on your municipality and whether environmental reviews are required. We start the permitting process immediately after design approval to minimize overall timeline. Complex multi-slip or commercial docks may take longer.

Do I need a permit to repair or replace my dock?

In most South Florida municipalities, yes. Minor repairs like replacing a few boards or hardware may not require permits, but structural work, including piling replacement, footprint changes, or adding new features, always requires permits. We assess your specific situation during the initial inspection and handle all required permitting as part of our service.

How often should I maintain my dock?

We recommend a professional inspection every 12 months. For wood docks, plan on pressure washing and sealing every 1 to 2 years. Composite and aluminum docks need only occasional cleaning. Pay special attention to hardware: stainless steel fasteners and galvanized connectors should be checked annually for corrosion, especially in saltwater environments.

What does a custom dock cost in Broward or Palm Beach County?

Dock construction costs vary widely based on size, materials, and complexity. A standard 4x20-foot residential finger dock typically starts around $15,000 to $25,000. Larger configurations with composite decking, boat lifts, and custom features can range from $40,000 to $100,000+. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for with no surprises.
