Your waterfront is one of the most valuable parts of your home. We protect it — docks, seawalls, and boat lifts built the old-Florida way, engineered for modern storms. Call Frederick directly. No account managers, no crew you've never met.
What We Build
Whether it's a fishing platform off your backyard or a full dock with walkways and lighting — we design it for your specific property, your shoreline depth, and your tidal conditions. Every board and piling is chosen for Florida's salt environment, not sourced from a big-box yard.
Get a quoteShoreline erosion puts your home's foundation at risk. Our seawalls — sheet pile, concrete block, or cap-and-tie — are designed for Florida's tidal energy and storm surge, built to your property's specific soil profile, and engineered to protect your yard and home for decades.
Get a quoteYour boat is a serious investment. We install lifts that keep it out of the water, off the barnacles, and ready to run when you are. We size, mount, and calibrate every lift ourselves — matched to your boat and your dock conditions, no guesswork on capacity.
Get a quoteA well-built boathouse protects your vessel and adds real value to your home. We design and build residential boathouses that match your property's character — not prefab kits, not afterthoughts. Built to the same standard as everything else we put in the water.

Get a quoteYour dock is an extension of your home — when something is failing, you need a straight answer and a real fix. We assess what's wrong, tell you exactly what it costs, and do the work ourselves. No mystery quotes, no surprise charges once the job starts.

Hurricane Ready
Every hurricane season, homeowners along Florida's coast lose docks and seawalls that weren't built to hold. We build to Florida's strictest residential wind-load specs — pressure-treated pilings driven to depth, hardware torqued to spec, every connection point engineered for a named storm, not just a rain event.

Who We Are
"Every structure we put in the water has our name on it. That's not a slogan — it's the standard we hold every build to."
Olde Florida Docks & Marine is a Florida-native, family-owned residential marine contractor. Our license is built for homeowners — we work with the families who live on the water, not commercial marinas or real estate developers. Our Florida license covers everything a waterfront homeowner needs: docks, seawalls, boat lifts, boathouses, floating systems, and repair. That's the full scope. That's all we do.
Every project is built in-house by our own crew. We handle the permitting through DEP, Army Corps, and county offices. We source the materials. We do the installation. When the job is done, Frederick walks your property with you personally — and we don't call it finished until you do.
Call Frederick DirectlyHow It Works
Frederick walks your waterfront. We assess tidal range, soil type, existing structures, and access — the details that determine how your dock is engineered, not just designed.
DEP, Army Corps of Engineers, county building permits — we handle every form and follow-up call. Residential waterfront permitting stops most homeowners cold. We've navigated it dozens of times across four markets and know exactly what each agency needs and how long each stage actually takes.
Your crew. Your timeline. Your project. Frederick is on-site throughout. Materials are sourced for Florida's marine environment specifically — not generic lumber from a big-box yard.
We don't leave until you're satisfied. Every board, every bolt, every hardware connection is inspected and signed off — by Frederick, in person, with you present.
The permitting phase is the #1 pain point for waterfront construction in Florida. We own that process end to end — no surprises, no delays from your side, and no navigating agencies alone.

Google Reviews
"Frederick showed up when he said he would, gave us a straight quote, and built us a dock that's better than anything else on our canal. Couldn't be happier. He's the real deal."
"After two other contractors gave us vague quotes and never called back, Frederick had a permit application in within a week of our first call. The seawall held through the whole season."
"We've been through three dock builds on this property. This is the only one where I didn't have to chase someone down. Frederick is thorough, honest, and the quality shows."
