What We Do
Dock Services We Offer in Southwest Florida
At CC Docks & Lifts, we specialize in all aspects of dock construction, repair, and maintenance for waterfront properties throughout Southwest Florida. Cape Coral alone has over 400 miles of canals — and every one of those waterfront homes deserves a dock built to handle Florida’s salt water, intense UV, and hurricane season. Whether you need a brand-new custom dock, a complete re-decking, piling replacement, protective piling wraps, or storm damage repair, our owner-operated team delivers quality work backed by real accountability. Owner Alex oversees every project personally — because your dock isn’t a job number to us, it’s our reputation.

New Dock Construction — Cape Coral, Fort Myers & Punta Gorda
Planning a new dock for your waterfront property? CC Docks & Lifts takes your project from initial design consultation through final installation. We build custom docks for canal lots, river-front properties, and open-water access points throughout Southwest Florida.
- Site assessment and design consultation
- Material selection: pressure-treated wood, composite decking (Trex or equivalent), or treated aluminum framing
- Piling installation using our company-owned barge — no subcontractors
- Permit coordination and guidance
- Post-installation walkthrough with owner Alex
- Optional add-ons: boat lift prep, lighting, accessories
Why it matters
Cape Coral’s canals and Fort Myers’ river-front properties have specific tidal, current, and soil conditions. We spec the right materials and piling depths for your site from day one — so your new dock doesn’t need to be rebuilt in a few years.

Dock Re-Decking & Deck Replacement
If your dock frame is structurally sound but the decking is rotted, soft, or weather-beaten, a full re-decking is often the most cost-effective path forward. CC Docks & Lifts performs complete deck removal and replacement using composite or pressure-treated lumber.
- Full inspection of framing and hardware before any work begins
- Complete board removal and disposal
- Frame reinforcement where needed
- New decking: composite (no rot, no splinters, 25+ year lifespan) or pressure-treated wood
- Hardware replacement and finishing
- Before/after photos provided for every project
Signs You Need Re-Decking
Soft or spongy boards underfoot · Visible rot, cracking, or splinters · Boards separating from the frame · Storm or hurricane damage to the deck surface

Piling Installation & Replacement
Pilings are the foundation of your dock. When they fail, everything above them fails. CC Docks & Lifts uses our own company-owned barge for all piling work — which means we control the timeline, the quality, and the depth of every piling we drive. No subcontractors, no scheduling delays.
- Full piling condition assessment
- New piling installation for new builds
- Damaged or deteriorated piling replacement
- Pile driving, drilling, and setting via company barge
- Minimal disruption to neighboring docks
- Fast turnaround on all piling work
Why Our Barge Matters
Most dock companies subcontract piling work to a third party. We don’t. When piling work is part of your project, you’re getting CC Docks & Lifts from start to finish — not a crew we called last week.

Piling Wraps — Marine Grade Protection
Piling wraps are one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make to an existing dock. They protect against marine borers — the #1 cause of piling failure in SW Florida — UV exposure, and waterline deterioration, extending the life of your pilings by years at a fraction of replacement cost.
$80–$120
per wrap, all materials included
Bulk pricing available for 10+ wraps
- Piling surface preparation
- Marine-grade wrap installed from below waterline to above splash zone
- Same-day completion for most standard wrap projects
Signs You Need Re-Decking

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new dock cost in Cape Coral?
Dock construction costs in Cape Coral vary based on size, material, access, and piling requirements. A basic pressure-treated dock on a standard canal lot typically starts in the $8,000–$15,000 range. Larger docks with composite decking, multiple boat slips, or complex piling requirements can range from $20,000–$60,000+. CC Docks & Lifts provides free, detailed quotes for every project — call (239) 834-0095 or submit a request online.
How long does dock construction take in SW Florida?
Most dock builds in Cape Coral and Fort Myers take 1–3 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on size and complexity. Re-decking projects can often be completed in 1–3 days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront — and we stick to it.
Do I need a permit to build or repair a dock in Florida?
Yes — dock construction and most significant dock repairs in Florida require permits from the local municipality, and in some cases from the Army Corps of Engineers or Florida DEP. CC Docks & Lifts guides clients through the permitting process and advises on what approvals your specific project requires. Contact us early — calling us before you plan saves significant time.
What's the best decking material for Southwest Florida?
For SW Florida’s climate, composite decking (such as Trex or similar) is generally the best long-term choice — it resists rot, doesn’t splinter, holds up in UV and salt air, and typically outlasts pressure-treated wood by 10–15 years. Pressure-treated wood remains a solid, more economical option for framing and pilings. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs based on your budget and usage.
Can you repair hurricane damage to my dock?
Yes. CC Docks & Lifts has extensive experience repairing hurricane and storm damage throughout SW Florida. We provide assessment photos for insurance purposes, prioritize storm-damage projects during recovery periods, and repair to current code standards. Call (239) 834-0095 to schedule a damage assessment.
