Seawall and Dock Contractors in Broward County
Seawall and dock contractors in Broward County work a county with three ocean inlets and more canal frontage than almost anywhere in Florida.
We connect waterfront homeowners here with licensed marine contractors who already work your stretch of the Intracoastal, the New River or the finger canals behind it.
The inspection is free and you get a written estimate before anyone touches your property.
Broward has a seawall elevation deadline, and it matters before 2035
Broward County’s Resiliency Standards for Flood Protection (Code of Ordinances Chapter 39, Article XXV) set a minimum tidal flood barrier elevation of five feet NAVD88.
There is a deadline built into it. An application for a new, substantially repaired or substantially rehabilitated barrier submitted before 1 January 2035 may be permitted at four feet NAVD88, but only if it is designed and constructed to accommodate five feet NAVD88 by 1 January 2050. Wait past that date and the four-foot option is gone.
The standards do not apply to oceanfront shorelines seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. If you are replacing a canal or Intracoastal wall in Broward, this is the single rule that should shape the design, and it is a reason to have the conversation now rather than after the wall fails.
Why it matters
Three inlets, and the water behaves differently at each
Hillsboro Inlet, Port Everglades and the Boca Raton Inlet just north all push tide through the county’s canal systems, and proximity to an inlet changes how fast a wall wears.
Fort Lauderdale’s canal network and the New River carry constant boat traffic, so wake loading is routine rather than occasional. The Middle River and Lake Santa Barbara at Oakland Park and Wilton Manors sit further from the tidal push and behave differently again.
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
