Custom wood, composite, and aluminum dock systems
Custom Docks
Custom dock systems built for your waterfront.
A dock is the place your boat, your family, and your weekends meet the water. Done right, it should last decades in salt air, stand up to storms, and look like it belongs on your shoreline from day one.
We build custom docks from IPE wood, top grade composite decking, and marine grade aluminum. Every project is engineered for South Florida conditions, with hardware and fasteners rated for saltwater exposure and pilings driven to the depth your site requires.
Before we pour a single pile, we walk your waterfront, check the bottom, review permitting requirements, and map out what fits your property and your vessel. You get a written plan and a firm price before any work begins.

FAQ
Custom Docks questions, answered
Need a specific answer for your waterfront? Call us and talk to someone who builds for a living.
How long does dock construction take in South Florida?
Most residential docks take 3 to 8 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on size, water depth, and site access. We give you a realistic schedule before we start and keep you updated through every phase.
Do I need a permit for a new dock?
Almost always yes. New docks, dock extensions, and major repairs require permits from your local authority and often review by agencies that manage waterways. We prepare the drawings, file the paperwork, and manage the approvals for you.
What is the best decking material for a saltwater dock?
For low maintenance and longevity, composite and aluminum hold up best in salt air. IPE remains a premium natural choice with a timeless look. We help you weigh cost, appearance, and upkeep against how you plan to use the dock.
Can you build a dock for a lot with no existing structure?
Yes. New construction on vacant waterfront is our bread and butter. We assess bottom conditions, design around your lot, and handle everything from the first survey to the final cleat.
