Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Cap width

The city sets a seawall cap width of 18 to 42 inches. A new cap built to raise the wall has to land inside that range.

City and county permits

The City of Deerfield Beach permits the wall under Sec. 98-87, and the Broward County license is needed before work in the water. A repair within 1 foot of the old face fits the county general license.

Why it matters

Whole shoreline

A substantial repair applies to the entire shoreline of the lot, and rip-rap or habitat enhancement is required. The standard also covers fixed attachments such as mooring structures.

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
