Custom Docks on Sanibel Island's bayside canals and mangrove shoreline. Composite and marine-wood docks built for Southwest Florida — single-slip to multi-slip estate builds, captain's walks, and full demo-and-rebuilds, engineered to outlast the salt, the sun, and the next thirty summers.
★★★★★ 5.0 · 5 Google reviewsA dock is the front porch of a waterfront home — and on this coast it has to survive brutal UV, salt, and storm surge. We build with capped composite decking, .80 CCA marine framing, and 316 stainless hardware so your dock looks new for decades, not seasons.
From the first rendering to the last lag screw, it's our crew — no subbed-out labor. We handle design, permitting, pilings, decking, lighting, and lift integration as one job.
In Sanibel Island, we permit through the City of Sanibel and Lee County and build to the seawall heights, canal widths, and tide conditions you actually have. It's our own crew from the first measurement to the final walkthrough — never subbed-out labor.
