Custom docks, boat lifts, pilings, and seawalls — engineered for hurricane-coast Florida. From Port Royal to Sanibel, we design, build, and maintain waterfront infrastructure that holds up to the tide, the storm, and the next thirty summers.
We work the canals, bays, and Gulf shoreline of Southwest Florida. Local crews, local permitting knowledge, and a deep familiarity with what salt water, storm surge, and tide cycles actually do to a structure.
From renderings to permitting to the last stainless lag screw — we build what other contractors hand off to subs. Choose a service for detail, examples, and what's involved.

The reason a Florida Lifts & Docks build still looks new at year fifteen is that we spec it like we own it — because in nine of every ten neighborhoods we work in, we already do.The Builder's Brief · SW Florida Marine
Hover or tap any number — these are the details that separate a 5-year build from a 30-year one.
Each marker reveals the spec choice that drives long-term durability — from buried piling depth and stainless hardware grade, to composite vs. treated wood and underwater LED placement.
A boat lift is four marine-grade cables and a cradle of bunks lifting your hull clean out of the water at the end of every trip. No more bottom paint maintenance, no more barnacles, no more salt-marinated metals. Done right, it disappears into your dock and lasts decades.
Jet ski to 24,000 lb offshore — covered, cantilever, pontoon, and high-capacity. Aluminum frames, marine-grade hardware, installed in-house.

Drag the handle. The transformation isn't paint and polish — it's a complete demolition, new pilings, new framing, new composite decking, new lift, and new lighting.

Every dock built in SW Florida lives inside a hurricane corridor. The difference between a dock that's still there on Tuesday morning and one that's halfway up your neighbor's lawn is in the spec. Press Storm to see it.
No subbed-out crews, no surprise change-orders, no "I'll have my guy call you." Same name on the rendering as the truck in the driveway.
We meet you at the water, look at canal width, current, exposure, and what the neighboring docks tell us about the bottom.
You see exactly what we're building — materials, dimensions, lift capacity, lighting layout — before a piling is set.
City, county, DEP, ACOE — whatever the build requires. We've done it in all 9 SW Florida municipalities.
Our crew, our barge, our pile driver. Communication every step, photos every day, on-site supervision the whole job.
We don't disappear. Lift training, maintenance plan, and a real warranty backed by a local crew that can come fix it.
Premium spec is the default on every Florida Lifts & Docks build. No upsells, no "good / better / best" — only what holds up to a hurricane coast.
A marine contractor whose crew, foreman, and project manager live in the same zip codes you do. We've worked through the hurricanes, the red tides, and the canal dredges. When something needs fixing, you're not calling a corporate number — you're calling the guy who built it.
Permitting handled in-house across Lee, Collier, and bordering jurisdictions.
Same people from the first site visit to the punch list.
You'll see your finished dock before the truck arrives.
Composite, stainless, marine-rated — no upsell games.
Composite dock installation, start to finish, in Bonita Springs. The same crew, the same standards, on every job we run.
"Best contractor we've worked with in Naples. Showed up when they said they would, did exactly what was drawn, and the dock looks better in person than the rendering."Naples homeownerPort Royal · Composite dock + lift
"Replaced a 20-year-old dock destroyed by Ian. Their crew permitted it, built it, and handled the lift install — all the same outfit. No finger-pointing."Fort Myers Beach ownerPost-hurricane rebuild
"We had three other quotes. Florida Lifts & Docks wasn't the cheapest, but they were the only one who walked the canal at low tide and explained why."Cape Coral ownerCaptain's walk + jet ski lift
