Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common dock and waterfront questions
Do I need a permit to build a dock in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes — dock and seawall projects typically require county permits and, in many cases, DEP or Army Corps of Engineers approval for work over the water. We manage the full permitting process.
What materials hold up best on a dock?
We build docks with Ipe hardwood and marine-grade composite decking, paired with stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware rated for constant saltwater exposure.
How do tides and water levels affect dock design?
We engineer deck height, piling depth, and drainage around your property's tidal range and flood elevation requirements so the structure performs through storm surge and seasonal changes.
Can you repair or replace an existing dock?
Yes — we handle dock repair, board replacement, and full rebuilds, including matching new piling and framing to existing structures where possible.
How long does a dock or boardwalk project take?
Waterfront projects typically run longer than a standard deck — often 4–8 weeks — due to permitting timelines and marine construction logistics.
Do you work on canal-front and open-water properties?
Yes — we build docks and boardwalks on both canal-front and open-water Fort Lauderdale properties, engineered for each site's specific wave and current exposure.
