Central Florida Boathouse Builder

Why Have a Boathouse in Florida?

If you want your boat to age gracefully in Florida while maintaining easy access, you need a good boathouse builder. Either with a new dock build or as an addition to your existing dock we can build the boathouse you’ve always wanted. The convenience of hitting a button and watching your boat get lowered into the water ready for use in a matter of minutes cannot be overstated.

A boathouse offers you protection from the elements. Additionally a boathouse gives you shelter from damaging ultra violet rays. It prevents mildew from developing in your boats interior. A boathouse also offers protection from waves and protects your hull from constant water immersion.

Furthermore a boat on a lift can provide more protection from theft than leaving it on a trailer. The bottom line is if you want to protect the value of your boat along with the convenience of use, a boathouse is a wise investment.

What Makes Us the Best Central Florida Boathouse Builder?

There’s a few things that can make a builder good at constructing boathouses. We will cover them one by one.

1. Structural Integrity: Your boathouse is tasked with a very important job, which can be costly if not done properly. It’s tasked with lifting a boat that weighs thousands of pounds and keeping it there. This is no small matter as big money may be on the line.

In addition we make sure your boatlift is rated for the weight of your boat. We also make sure that your boat lift is properly anchored. It can’t just be properly anchored.

The structural beams need to be large enough to handle the weight of the boat without any structural warping to your boathouse. Then of course your pylons need to be large enough and deep enough to handle the weight of your boathouse with zero issue.

Furthermore your boathouse needs to be constructed to Florida code to withstand hurricane force winds. A good boathouse builder makes sure the structure is sound. We also factor in whether you have or need a seawall.

What Kind of Design Options Do I Have?

2. Design Aesthetics: You don’t want your boathouse to be an eyesore. We have years of experience helping clients bring to the life the boathouse of their dreams. Our aim is function and beauty. Whether it’s siding, roofing options, stains, or choosing from wood or composite decking, we can help you make your boathouse fit the aesthetic you’re looking for.

Once more lighting, storage, screening, are all options we can go over with you to make sure the finished product is just the way you want.  

How Much Does Experience Matter?

3. Marine Experience: Experience matters most when it comes to being a good boathouse builder. Understanding the nature of the body of water that your boathouse is being built on matters on many levels. What’s the highwater mark? Can storms create a lot of chop on your lake? Will my boat move with wind? How much space does my boat need? These are questions you learn to answer through experience.

Even managing the local population of birds can affect decisions on your design. We can go over all these topics when giving you a quote to make sure we are getting the job done right for you.
