Why it matters

Lighting

Dock and lift lights are mushroom fixtures only, 25 watts, yellow, at least 25 feet apart.

The City of Neptune Beach approves dock permits but does not issue them until FDEP, the Army Corps and SJRWMD approvals arrive. Deck boards stay under 8 inches wide, spaced at least half an inch apart.

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
