Why local specialists
Gulf Coast lifts need Gulf Coast know-how
Salt water is tough on lifts
Cables, fasteners and wiring corrode faster on the Gulf Coast. Local technicians replace these parts often and know what holds up.
Storm season is part of the job
Pre-season checks, post-storm inspections and repairs after high water are routine work on Sarasota Bay and the Manatee River.
Seawalls, pilings and tides
The right lift depends on your dock, your seawall and how much water you have at low tide. That takes someone who works on local docks.
Written estimates, no pressure
Describe the problem once. You get a free written estimate and decide whether to go ahead. No obligation.

Frequently asked questions
What areas do you serve?
Waterfront homes in Sarasota, Bradenton and Manatee County, including Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Venice and nearby communities. See all service areas.
What kinds of boat lifts can you work on?
Requests cover the common lift types on the Suncoast: four-post cable lifts, elevator (cradle) lifts mounted to seawalls or docks, hydraulic lifts, and davits.
How much does boat lift repair cost?
It depends on the part, the lift and dock access, so we don’t publish a price list. Every request gets a free written estimate before any work is done.
How often should a boat lift be serviced?
Many Gulf Coast owners schedule service twice a year, with one visit before hurricane season. Your lift manufacturer’s manual is the best guide. See boat lift maintenance.
Do I need a permit for a new boat lift?
Often, yes. New lifts, pilings and dock electrical work usually involve local permits. Read our permits overview and check with your county or city.
Is there a phone number?
Requests are taken through the online form so the technician has the details they need. Choose phone call or text as your preferred contact method and they will reach out that way.
