ISLAMORADA, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Islamorada
Dock repair in Islamorada lets a nonconforming dock be rebuilt in the same footprint with a Class B bufferyard, or extended to reach depth (Village Code Sec. 30-1555).
We put Islamorada owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the village and agency permits.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Agency approval
All work waterward of mean high water needs Army Corps and DEP approval (Sec. 30-1543). Docks with lifts or davits need tie-down cleats.
Why it matters
Marginal docks
On seawalled canals, marginal docks stay within 8 feet wide, widening to 13 feet between davits for up to 35 feet of shoreline (Sec. 30-1548). Irma brought 4 to 6 feet of water above ground to the Middle and Upper Keys in 2017.
Docks on Florida Bay have been approved past the 100 foot limit by variance, as at Plantation Key in 2020.

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
