Marine Contractor in Fort Lauderdale
Seawall repair, dock construction, and boat lift installation across Fort Lauderdale's 165 miles of canals, from Las Olas Isles to the New River.
165 Miles of Canals. We've Worked Most of Them.
Fort Lauderdale has more navigable canals than Venice, Italy. That means more seawalls, more docks, and more boat lifts per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country, and more opportunities for things to go wrong when the contractor doesn't know what they're doing.
South Florida Seawall is based in Pompano Beach, minutes from Fort Lauderdale, and we work on waterfront properties throughout the city year-round. We know the difference between conditions on a Tarpon River finger canal and an exposed Intracoastal lot in Harbor Beach. We know what the City of Fort Lauderdale requires for permits and what Broward County adds on top. We don't have a learning curve on your project.
Every project starts with a free on-site assessment. No bids over the phone, no guesswork about water depth or soil conditions. We look at your specific property before we quote a number.
Services for Fort Lauderdale Waterfront Properties
Seawall Repair
Fort Lauderdale's saltwater canal system puts seawalls under constant pressure. We repair cracked panels, failing tie-backs, deteriorated caps, and soil voids on both concrete and vinyl systems.
Learn MoreNew Seawall Construction
Replacing a failed seawall or building on vacant waterfront? We engineer and install vinyl sheet pile and reinforced concrete seawalls to current NAVD88 elevation requirements, fully permitted through the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County.
Learn MoreCustom Dock Building
From a simple finger dock on a Las Olas canal to a multi-slip configuration on the New River, we design and build custom docks using composite decking, aluminum frames, and concrete or fiberglass pilings.
Learn MoreDock Repair
Rotting decking, soft pilings, and broken hardware all add up: Fort Lauderdale's boat traffic and saltwater environment accelerate wear on any dock. We repair what's failing and replace what's beyond repair.
Learn MoreBoat Lift Installation
Keeping your boat out of Fort Lauderdale's salt water between trips is the single best investment you can make in its hull. We install elevator lifts, floating lifts, and PWC platforms sized exactly for your vessel.
Learn MoreSeawall Inspection
Buying a waterfront home in Fort Lauderdale? A general home inspector won't catch failing tie-backs or sub-surface void formation. Our pre-purchase seawall inspections give you a real structural picture, with a written report, before you close.
