Dock & Piling Repair
Repair and replacement of docks, boat lifts, and the pilings that support them — often needed alongside seawall work.
Call (561) 555-0147Docks and the pilings that support them take a beating from constant wet-dry cycling, marine borers, and boat impact — and because they're often structurally tied into or located right beside a seawall, piling problems and seawall problems tend to show up together. We repair and replace deteriorated pilings and dock structures as a standalone service or as part of a broader seawall project.
Whether you need a single rotted piling replaced or a full dock rebuild alongside seawall repair, we coordinate the work so everything ties together structurally and visually.
Signs You May Need This Service
- Visibly rotted, splintering, or cracked wood pilings
- A dock that feels spongy, loose, or unstable underfoot
- Marine borer damage (small holes) in wood pilings
- A boat lift that has become misaligned or unstable
- Dock decking pulling away from support pilings
Our Process
Structural assessment
We evaluate each piling and connection point, along with decking and any attached boat lift hardware.
Piling replacement
Deteriorated pilings are removed and replaced with new wood, composite, or concrete pilings driven to proper depth.
Decking & structure repair
Damaged decking, stringers, and hardware are repaired or replaced to restore a safe, stable structure.
Boat lift realignment
If a lift is involved, we realign and secure it to the repaired piling structure for safe operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair pilings without replacing the whole dock?
Yes — individual pilings can typically be replaced or reinforced (a process called 'wrapping' or sistering, depending on the situation) without rebuilding the entire dock structure.
Should dock and seawall repairs be done at the same time?
When they're both needed, doing them together often saves cost and disruption since equipment and access setup overlap. We'll assess both during your site visit and give you a combined plan if it makes sense.
What materials last longest for pilings in saltwater?
Marine-grade treated wood, composite, and concrete pilings all perform well in South Florida saltwater when properly installed; the right choice depends on your budget and the load requirements of your dock or lift.
