Docks
Rotonda's circular canal design means water level and access vary by section, so we confirm connectivity before designing. We build new docks and handle repair, replacement, accessories, and canopies and shade covers.
Seawalls
Rotonda West's canal-front seawalls date to the community's original build-out and are reaching the point where repair or replacement is common. We install and replace concrete and vinyl seawalls and keep sound walls going with repair and maintenance before a replacement or new wall.
Boat lifts
We install and service boat lifts from Coastal Boat Lifts in Fort Myers, sized to the canal section and vessel. Repair covers cables, motors, bunks, and controls.
Dredging
Sections of the canal system can shoal. Our residential dredging restores permitted depth, permitting handled.
Marine inspections
Our marine inspections give buyers, sellers, and insurers a written condition report on the dock, seawall, and lift.
