Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new dock cost in West Palm Beach?
Dock costs typically range from $15,000 to $80,000+ depending on size, materials, and complexity. A basic fixed dock starts around $15,000–$25,000, while a full custom pier with boat lifts and lighting can reach $60,000–$100,000. JKT Marine provides free, detailed on-site estimates with no obligation.
Do I need a permit to build a dock in West Palm Beach?
Yes — virtually all dock, seawall, and boat lift work requires permits from Palm Beach County and potentially state and federal agencies. JKT Marine handles all permit filings on your behalf, including environmental reviews.
How long does a dock project take?
Most residential dock projects take 1–3 weeks of active construction once permits are approved. Palm Beach County permits typically take 4–10 weeks. JKT Marine starts the permitting process immediately after your project is confirmed.
Can you repair a cracked or leaning seawall?
Yes. We perform seawall assessments and a full range of repairs — from cap replacement and crack injection to tieback anchors and full wall replacement. Early intervention is almost always more cost-effective than full replacement. Call us for a free inspection.
