Customers say: Quality work

"The project was to install about 60 feet of boardwalk from my backyard to a floating dock, attach a ramp from the dock, provide 120 V power to the walkway, install low voltage lighting to walkway and adjacent cypress trees, and tie lighting control into my pool control panel for time and operation control. The boardwalk went over a dense area of cypress knees which made construction difficult. Jeff was very easy to work with and promptly answered any question I had. The project was completed in a timely manner with top grade materials. I had only one complaint from a neighbor. He said my boardwalk looked so good it made his look bad."

"Type1 Docks fixed my broken boat lift within a few hours. These guys are top notch, they fix the little obscure things you dont notice as well...They came on time, did a professional repair, were very knowledgable with their tradecraft, and cleaned up after the job. These guys are going to do well in this niche market. I would definetly call them again...Highly recommended !!!"

FAQs for water dock building service projects in Merritt Island, FL

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
