FORT MYERS, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Fort Myers
Dock repair in Fort Myers needs any state and federal permits, a City of Fort Myers permit and the written consent of whoever owns the bottom, often the city itself on the Caloosahatchee (LDC Sec. 118.3.4).
We put Fort Myers owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle all three.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Consent by code
A single-family dock that needs no dredging is covered by consent in the city code (LDC Sec. 132.1.6). Docks that need dredging need a letter of consent.
Why it matters
No living aboard
Boats docked at homes may not be used for living, and living-quarter boathouses are prohibited.
On the Caloosahatchee, a dock must stay within 25% of the waterway width and can extend up to 200 feet to reach 3 feet of water at mean low water (LDC Sec. 132.1.4).
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
