How do I get a quote?

Request a quote through our online form with a few details and photos if you have them. We'll match your request to a local contractor covering your area, and they'll follow up directly with a firm quote, typically after an in-person site visit.

Is there a cost for an estimate?

Initial estimates are typically free. Formal structural inspection reports (for insurance or real estate purposes) are usually a paid service — the contractor you're connected with can confirm their pricing.

Do I need a permit for dock or seawall work in Florida?

Most new construction, structural repairs, and any change to a structure's footprint require a permit from your county, and often the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and/or Army Corps of Engineers as well. Minor in-kind repairs typically don't require a new permit. See our Florida Dock Permits guide for a full breakdown.

Who handles the permitting process?

The local contractor you're matched with typically handles permit preparation and submission as part of a construction or major repair project, coordinating with the relevant county, state, and federal offices on your behalf.

How much does dock repair cost?

Most dock repairs range from $400 to $6,000 depending on the scope of damage. See our full Dock Repair Cost guide for a detailed cost table by repair type.
