Why it matters

Permits

Lee County’s ePlan portal takes the application; state permits come separately.

Lifts and pilings on natural water keep 10 feet from side lines. Docks reach no more than 200 feet or 25% of the channel and need 3 feet of water at mean low water (LDC Sec. 26-71). Rewiring a lift motor is electrical work, so ask whether the scope includes that permit.

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

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
