Why it matters

Before the job

Charlotte County’s published code sets no seawall cap height, so confirm permit requirements with the county. After Ian came ashore near Punta Gorda at 125 knots in 2022, check caps, joints and backfill for damage.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.

What a free inspection includes
