COCONUT GROVE, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Coconut Grove
Dock repair in Coconut Grove needs a City of Miami building permit for anything beyond re-decking at the same size, which Miami-Dade DERM exempts.
We put Grove owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the permits.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Dinner Key
The city’s Dinner Key Marina in the Grove has 587 wet slips and more than 250 moorings, at Statute Mile 1095 of the Intracoastal. Expect boat traffic around any marine work nearby.
Permits
Beyond re-decking, repairs need DERM’s Class I permit and a City of Miami Building Department permit under Sec. 29-83.

Why it matters
Docks in the preserve
Docks are allowed in the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, but dredging or filling for one needs a finding that water quality will not suffer.
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
