Central Florida Dock Builder
Waterfront living in Florida is common, but waterfront living with a dock is a luxury. JSC Contracting has built some of the most beautiful docks in central Florida. We are the premier central Florida dock builder. Whether your home or business is on a lake, river, channel, canal, bay, cove, or ocean front, we can build the dock you’ve been dreaming of. Our process is simple but we’ll break it down in this article so you can have a better expectation of how your project will unfold.
Site Assessment of Your Dock
The first step is checking the site. One of our experienced managing dock builders will take the time to walk your property and assess every element of your shoreline. Tides, wakes, soil erosion, and weather swells can affect the design. So, we plan site prep carefully. This is the stage where we determine the needs that will ensure your dock lasts. As central Florida’s premier dock builder we pride ourselves on making sure this step is always done right.
We always make sure we are keeping you compliant with any permitting regulations. Construction permits and environmental permits may apply to your project. We are experts at handling your local regulations and will make sure everything is done above board and in a compliant way.
Designing Your Dream Dock
Designing your dock is next! This is the fun part, share your dream, or let us help you dream. If you can dream it, we can do it. Want a kitchen on your dock? How about a firepit? Lights you can control with your phone? A boat lift? Rails or no rails? A ladder going into the water? Is there a seawall or no? Maybe you would like steps going into the water.
Does your dock need to make a turn? How many boats and/or jet skis would you like to accommodate? Are you building a boathouse too? These are all questions your experienced dock builder is going to ask to collect as much information about your project as possible. We have lots of pics from previous work to give you inspiration as well!
What Materials Can I Select?
You’ve got roofing options if you have a covered boathouse. If you’re in salt water you may want galvanized steel pilings. The most common choice is whether you want pressure treated wood or composite decking. We can give you prices for both! Here are some of the pro’s and cons for each.
Pros for Wood Decking
- Lower cost up front.
- Feels cooler under the foot in summer.
- A natural look.
- Stain the wood the color of your preference.
Cons for Wood Decking
- It needs more maintenance, like staining and sealing over time.
- Sometimes warping can happen.
- Splinters are possible.
Pros for Composite Decking
- Very low maintenance
- Resistance to mold, insects, and warping
- Safer for barefoot walking
- Unique color options
Cons for Composite Decking
- Higher up front cost
- The material can get hot under the foot in summer
