Boat Lift Repair New Port Richey
Boat lift repair in New Port Richey works within a citywide ban on covered boat lifts and covered docks (City Code Sec. 5-52).
We connect New Port Richey owners with licensed marine contractors who service open lifts on the Pithlachascotee River and its canals.
Free inspection and a written scope.
City seawall lots
Where the dock sits on city-owned seawall or park property, davits and boat lifts are not allowed at all, and the dock must float (Sec. 5-44).
After the storm
Helene pushed water 7.60 feet above mean higher high water at a Pasco County sensor in 2024. Lifts that went under should have motors and cables checked.

Why it matters
Permits and pilings
Altering a dock, including the lift structure, needs a city permit issued after state and federal confirmation (Sec. 5-49). Pilings stop at 10 feet above mean high water, and electrical is limited to grounded receptacles.
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
