Dock Repair St. Augustine
Dock repair in St. Augustine goes through the conservation overlay review in Sec. 11-29, which keeps decks within 8 feet of mean high water and allows no roofs.
We put St. Augustine owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who repair to it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Bulkhead lines
The city’s bulkhead lines are set by metes and bounds, subject to state approval (Sec. 7-1). A rebuilt dock attaches at the existing line.

Why it matters
State review
FDEP’s Northeast District reviews dock work, with a $100 fee for an exemption verification.
The City of St. Augustine Planning and Building Division reviews dock work in the conservation overlay. On the Matanzas and San Sebastian Rivers, the 8 foot deck limit and the no-roof rule still apply to a repair.
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
