Dock Construction & Repair in Sarasota and Manatee Counties
No two waterfront properties are exactly alike. The right dock depends on more than its length and width.
Before recommending a design, we consider:
The result is a dock designed specifically for your property—not a standard design forced onto it.
Custom Dock Construction
We build residential and commercial docks tailored to the property, vessel, and intended use. From practical access docks to expanded waterfront living spaces, each project is designed for safety, functionality, and durability.
Dock Replacement
If an older dock has reached the end of its useful life, we can replace it with a new structure that better meets your current boating and waterfront needs.
Dock Repair
Not every damaged dock needs to be replaced. We evaluate its pilings, framing, decking, hardware, and structural connections before recommending the appropriate repair.
Composite Decking
Custom Dock & Davit uses composite decking rather than traditional wood decking. Composite provides an attractive, durable surface without the splinters, rot, and frequent staining associated with wood.
Dock and Boat-Lift Integration
When a project includes a boat lift, we can coordinate the dock design and lift placement so that the complete waterfront system works together properly.
Schedule a professional evaluation if you notice:
Addressing developing problems early may prevent further damage and help protect the rest of the structure.
A dock is a major investment. The contractor you choose should understand marine construction, local waterways, permitting, and how waterfront structures perform over time.
The Custom Dock & Davit Difference
We review the shoreline, water conditions, existing structures, vessel requirements, access, and project goals.
Our team develops the recommended dock configuration and provides a defined project scope.
We coordinate the applicable drawings, applications, and approvals included in the project.
Our crews build the dock according to the approved plans and complete a final project review.
How much does a custom dock cost?
Pricing depends on the dock’s size, configuration, materials, water depth, site access, permitting requirements, and whether a boat lift is included. A site evaluation allows us to prepare an accurate proposal.
Do I need a permit to build or replace a dock?
Most new docks and significant replacements require permits. Requirements vary by location, waterway, environmental conditions, and project scope.
Do you build wood docks?
We use composite decking rather than traditional wood decking. Composite provides a durable, lower-maintenance surface well suited to waterfront use.
Can you build the dock and install the boat lift?
Yes. Coordinating the dock and lift as one project helps ensure the placement, access, and structural requirements work together effectively.
Whether you are replacing an aging structure, repairing damage, or creating a completely new waterfront space, Custom Dock & Davit can build a dock designed around your property and lifestyle.
