STUART, FLORIDA

Boat Lift Repair Stuart

Boat lift repair in Stuart for a boat over 25 feet needs a lift designed by a registered engineer (Sec. 10-171).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Stuart owners with licensed marine contractors who service and rebuild lifts on the St. Lucie River.

Free inspection and a written scope.

Lifts on the wall

A seawall that carries a lift has to be designed for both the lift loads and the soil behind it. The code calls a lift on its own piles, separate from the wall, preferable.

Permits

Structural lift work needs a City of Stuart Development Department building permit under Sec. 10-168, with state and federal approval on the St. Lucie River first.

Why it matters

Electrical

Lifts must meet the electrical code and the maker’s specifications. Salt and humidity on the river make the switch box worth checking every service.

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