POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair Pompano Beach

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect owners on the Intracoastal, Cypress Creek Canal and the Pompano Canal with licensed marine contractors who build to it.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Two city permits

Seawall and cap work needs an engineering permit from the City Engineer and a building permit from the Building Official (Sec. 151.02). Plans by a Florida-licensed engineer must show your wall’s proposed elevation and your neighbors’ walls in NAVD88.

The city’s engineering FAQ lists the fee at 4% of the cost of the work.

Why it matters

Raising the whole shoreline

A wall below 5 feet that gets a substantial repair must be raised along the entire shoreline. Rip-rap or habitat enhancement goes at the face.

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
