Seawall Construction & Repair Across South Florida
New seawalls, full replacements, caps, footers, repairs and sealing — engineered to hold back the water and protect your land for decades.
Quick answer
Broward Dock and Seawall builds, replaces, repairs, caps, seals and re-footers seawalls throughout Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. With our own barge and crane and in-house permitting, we have handled South Florida seawalls since 1965. Estimates are always free.
A seawall is the single most important structure on a waterfront lot — it is what keeps your yard from sliding into the canal. When a wall starts to lean, crack, weep rust stains or lose soil behind it, the clock is already running.
Our expert team has vast experience in every aspect of seawall construction and maintenance, ensuring a perfect job every time. Whether you need a brand-new wall, a complete replacement, a structural cap, new footers, targeted repairs or protective sealing, our experience in this field is unsurpassed.
Coastal seawall and shoreline work in Florida is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and local agencies — and we manage that compliance for you.

Why seawalls fail in South Florida
Salt water, tidal cycles and hurricane surge are relentless. Most failures start out of sight — soil washing out through cracked joints, rusting tie-backs, or an undermined footer. Catching it early is far cheaper than rebuilding after a collapse. If you see new cracks, leaning panels, sinkholes near the wall or rust bleeding through the cap, call us for an inspection.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to repair or replace a seawall in Florida?
Most seawall work in South Florida requires permits from the county or city and often state or federal agencies. Broward Dock and Seawall has handled marine permitting — federal, state and local — in-house since 1965, so we manage that process for you as part of the project.
How long does a seawall last?
A well-built concrete seawall in South Florida typically lasts 30–50 years, depending on soil, exposure and maintenance. Adding a cap, maintaining footers and sealing the wall can meaningfully extend its life. We will give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement is the better value.
What are the signs my seawall is failing?
Watch for new or widening cracks, leaning or bowing panels, soil or pavers sinking near the wall, rust stains bleeding through, and water seeping through joints. Any of these means soil is escaping behind the wall — call for an inspection before it becomes a collapse.
Do you work on residential and commercial seawalls?
Yes. We build and repair seawalls for single-family homes, condominiums and commercial waterfront properties throughout Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
