I’d recommend you don’t waste too much time comparing quotes/proposals from other companies - even if Kyle is a bit more expensive — just gladly pay him! A+ workmanship and attention to detail. I had both Lift and complete Dock installed ; couldn’t be more pleased. Kyle delivers more than he promises. His quiet and methodical confidence are backed by technical knowledge, experience, and a friendly, capable crew. Hire him!!

This is my second project with The Dock Experts and had another great experience. We had a new 18K Boat Lift Installed. This has been a dream in the making ever since we bought the house. The team led by Chad and Austin did a great job installing the lift. Then, the service team led by Joey and Dillan came when it was time to put the boat on the first time. I was nervous and they made the entire thing easy and painless.

Looking forward to getting a new Seawall one day and will definitely be calling The Dock Experts to do the work!

The Dock Experts installed both my new seawall and dock with boathouse & lift. Patrick Tynan met me initially and listened to exactly what I wanted. He had me a conceptual design the next day that matched what we had discussed.

They took this job through the whole permitting process, and then proceeded to install my seawall as well as an amazing dock and boathouse.

The guys that completed the work we’re not only knowledgeable, but we’re professional in their day to day activities and very respectful to me, as well as my property. They were an actual pleasure to interact with every day throughout the process.

The guys who constructed my seawall and boathouse were Brett M, Blake S, and Blake L.

The guys who completed my boat lift were Tom L, Patrick H, and Andrew M.

I’d like to thank all these guys once more. If you’re looking to complete a scope similar to mine, I cannot recommend anyone that can outdo this bunch! Heck of a nice job completed by professionals who take PRIDE in their work.

It’s a pleasure to leave these guys a positive review.

After dealing with a prior contractor who left me with zero documentation, didn’t care about the condition of my equipment, and wanted to charge a ridiculous $500 just to come out and look at my malfunctioning boat lift motor, calling The Dock Experts was a huge relief.

From the start, Heather was incredible—she followed up with me multiple times to schedule a NO FEE evaluation so a professional could properly assess the issue. When Patrick arrived, he was exceptional. He called right when he got to the property, clearly explained everything that was going on, and laid out the contract and pricing transparently. Once I gave the green light, the installation process was completely seamless. The communication was truly on point; Patrick even sent me real-time videos and pictures of the installation! They went above and beyond in EVERY way. If you need any boat lift or marine work done, do not call anyone else—just contact The Dock Experts. You will not be disappointed!

We picked expert docks to elevate our seawall and build a new concrete dock. The sales representative (Parker), walked us through every procedure and process of the job in extraordinary detail. He was courteous, knowledgeable and it was evident that he was not treating this as just another job, but with equal determination that Dock Experts mission, across the board, was to ensure the total satisfaction of their customers as if this job was being performed as if it was their own home. The progress of the project went smoothly from start to end with no glitches, surprises or unexpected issues. And the results met every expectation adding beauty and value to our home. Our consensus: Dock Experts has a good and qualified team of talented, knowledgeable people who strive for perfection and customer satisfaction.

Dock Experts by far has been the best company and experience we have had since moving to Florida. The young men, that constructed our new seawall, huge dock and boat house were such a pleasure. They were so professional and polite that I even made them chocolate chip cookies, twice. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'd like to call them out because this is who you want building your walls and docks.

You guys will be missed, you were a joy

We have worked with Dock Experts for several months on our project and are very happy with the work and communication from Tom and team. Brandon and Blake helped to pull our project to completion and inquired on our satisfaction throughout the project. Appreciate their attention to detail to ensure our travertine was not damaged during the process. Thanks also to Heather for helping with our permit challenges and her professionalism throughout the project. The materials used are top notch and my neighbors let us know how impressed they were with the team’s work ethic. Thanks so much Dock Experts!!!!

They did my 134' new seawall in 2025 and did a great job, I am now under contract to finish the concrete doc with them and I hope it turns out as good as the seawall. I do feel they are a little slow but I am sure they are very busy, I have referred them to all my clients since they did my seawall. Capt. Lynch is a very good part of this company.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is BBB. Dock Experts completed a full dock renovation for my condo building about 6 weeks ago (see my 5-*********** review) recognizing the 4-man team.This review is a follow-on to that ****** review. After the Dock Experts team completed the renovation project I noticed that one of the concrete pilings, installed 20 years ago, was mis-aligned compared to the other 15 pilings. I called the company and they promptly sent ***** out to my property. ***** was also on the original renovation team. ***** spent two entire days creatively rebuilding the piling by selectively removing concrete from the piling such that when it was re-wrapped, all the misaligned angles were corrected. ****** focused diligence was key to making this difficult project very successful. This is just another example of a business that maintains a high-bar on customer-satisfaction! So, I again highly recommend Dock Experts as a #1 company for Dock construction and renovation. Dont go anywhere else. They are top-flight.

From the first phone call to the final walk through, they proved to be professional, had phenomenal communication, and were punctual on our timeline for completion. Did I mention, their prices were competitive as well. That is hard to find with a large company. It was refreshing to have someone I did not have to worry about.
