Dock Repair in Fort Lauderdale

Common dock problems

  • Rotten, split or loose deck boards
  • Pilings worn thin at the waterline or leaning
  • Rusted bolts, brackets and cleats
  • Damage after a storm or a boat strike

Dock work and the seawall

Many residential docks attach to or sit right beside the seawall, so dock and wall problems often show up together. If the wall is due for work, it can make sense to plan the dock at the same time, and the other way around.

Permits

Replacing pilings or rebuilding a dock in tidal water usually needs permits. Simple board replacement may not. Your contractor can tell you what applies.

Dock Repair questions

Can you help with boat lifts too?

Tell us what you need. If a licensed local contractor we work with handles boat lifts, we will match you with them.

Do dock repairs need a permit?

Structural work such as piling replacement usually does. Like-for-like board replacement often does not. Confirm with your contractor or the city.

Should I fix the dock or the seawall first?

If both need work, a contractor can sequence them so you do not pay to remove and reinstall the dock twice.
