Seawall Repair Bonita Springs

Seawall repair in Bonita Springs keeps a new or replacement wall no more than 2 feet above the adjacent wall, with a 45 degree transition or a return wall where they differ (City LDC Sec. 7-359).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Bonita Springs owners with licensed marine contractors who build to the city code.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

What goes with the wall

Rip-rap runs along at least half the length of a new or replacement wall, and a French drain runs its full length. No new walls are allowed in V zones or on natural waterbodies.

Docks built off the new wall stay within 25% of the channel, or 20% in the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve (Sec. 7-358).

Why it matters

Permit and conformance

A city permit is required for all work, repair included, and all state and federal permits come before work begins. Repairing more than 50% of the structural components triggers full conformance with current code (Sec. 7-355).

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
