Your waterfront property is a major investment. Protect it like one. Tell us about your project and get connected with a marine professional.

Seawalls

Seawall Repair & Construction

Salt water, king tides and summer storms all work on the same wall. If you're seeing soil loss, cracked panels or a cap that's coming apart, the first step is understanding what's actually going on.

Know before you spend

Seawall Inspections

Most seawall problems start where you can't see them — below the waterline or behind the wall. An inspection tells you what's fine, what to watch and what needs work now. It's the smart first step before buying a waterfront home, adding a dock or planning repairs.

Docks

Dock Construction & Repair

From a new dock sized for your boat to redecking a tired one, the structure below the boards is what matters most.

Boat Lifts

Boat Lift Installation & Repair

Getting your hull out of salt water cuts down on growth and corrosion. The right lift — properly mounted — makes it effortless.

Marine Construction for Waterfront Properties

Seawalls, docks, pilings and lifts work as one system. The best waterfront projects are planned that way.

What we hear about most

Common Waterfront Problems

Salt, sun and tides work on every structure along the water. These are the issues that come up again and again.

01

Soil loss behind the seawall

Sinkholes and dips mean sand is washing out through a joint or crack — usually below the waterline.

02

Cracked or spalling caps

Rust stains and popping concrete point to corroding steel inside the cap.

03

Leaning walls and failing tiebacks

A wall rotating toward the water has lost some of its anchoring.

04

Tired docks and pilings

Soft boards, wobbly sections and pilings thinning at the waterline.

05

Boat lifts wearing out

Frayed cables, grinding gearboxes and slow, uneven lifting.

06

Storm and king tide damage

Surge and high water loosen joints and scour the base of the wall.

Timing

Why Early Evaluation Matters

Small problems don't stay small on the water. An open joint today is a void behind the wall next season, and a sinkhole in the yard after that.

Catching issues early usually means more options — targeted seawall repair or stabilization instead of a full seawall replacement. It also gives you time to plan, budget and permit instead of reacting after a storm.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

From the blog

How do I know if my seawall needs repair?

Common signs include sinkholes behind the wall, gaps between panels, cracks with rust staining, spalling caps and visible lean. Our guide to 7 signs your seawall may need repair walks through each one.

Should I repair or replace my seawall?

Localized damage often calls for repair. Widespread cracking, significant movement or repeated failures usually point toward replacement. A seawall inspection is the best way to decide.

Do seawall and dock projects require permits in South Florida?

Most structural seawall, dock and boat lift work requires permits, and requirements vary by city and county. The professional handling your project should confirm what applies.

Homeowners, condo associations, HOAs, property managers, commercial owners, marinas and developers with waterfront property across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
