Dock & boat lift services in North Fort Myers
North Fort Myers docks, one river away
The north bank of the Caloosahatchee, straight across the water from our Cape Coral base. New docks, pilings, boat lifts and re-decks for riverfront and canal homes, quoted by the owner on your seawall.
The north bank, one river across
North Fort Myers sits on the north bank of the Caloosahatchee, opposite Fort Myers and straight across the water from home base. That matters more than it sounds, because we come to your seawall by water. The trip over is one of the shortest barge runs we make.
These are established riverfront and canal-front neighborhoods, which means a lot of docks here predate the people standing on them. You bought the house and inherited the structure, with no idea when the pilings went in or who looked at them last. That is a normal starting point on this side of the river, and it is exactly what the free inspection is for.
Older does not always mean gone. Plenty of tired docks have sound bones and need boards, not a rebuild. Others look fine on top while the pilings quietly neck down below the waterline. The owner walks it with you and tells you which one you have, scopes the work around Lee County dock rules, and walks you through the permit steps.

What the north bank asks of a dock
The river sets the terms
Open riverfront on the Caloosahatchee brings real tide swing and real boat wake. Water that moves and hits loads a dock differently than still water: fasteners work, bumpers earn their keep, and the deck wants to sit high enough that a busy weekend on the river is not a wet one. Honest piling depth is not optional out front.
Docks older than their owners
Age shows up in a pattern here. Soft boards first, then the frame and the fasteners, then the pilings themselves. Catch it at the board stage and it is a re-deck on good bones. Leave it long enough and the money moves below the deck, into piling replacement, which costs more and takes longer.
Back in the canals it is calmer
Canals off the river are protected water: no fetch, no wake, and that quiet lulls owners into leaving the dock alone for years at a stretch. Salt does not care how calm it is. Barnacles, borers and the wet-dry cycle keep chewing at the waterline, which is where wraps and a straight piling check pay for themselves.

“Hiring Alex and his crew was a great decision! First and foremost they showed up when they said they would and perhaps even more important, finished when they said they would. ... I only wish I'd hired Alex from the start.”Vince Kotlarz · Google
