J&M Marine Construction builds custom docks, boat lifts, and waterfront structures for homeowners in Port of the Islands. Tucked along the Faka Union Canal with direct access to the Ten Thousand Islands and the Gulf, this unique community is a boater's and angler's gateway — and its docks need to stand up to real tides and salt. We handle design, fabrication, and installation in-house, engineering every structure for Florida's sun, salt, tides, and storm seasons.
What We Build
Boat Lift Installation & Repair
With prime access to backwater and Gulf fishing, Port of the Islands homes need dependable lifts. We install cradle, cantilever, and elevator lifts sized to your vessel and the tidal range at your shoreline, keeping the hull out of the salt water to prevent corrosion, staining, and growth. When salt wears an older lift down, our repair team replaces motors, cables, and bunks to keep you on the water.
Custom Welding & Fabrication
Every waterfront lot at Port of the Islands is different, and the salt environment is demanding, so we fabricate to fit and to last. Our in-house shop welds marine-grade aluminum and stainless components — frames, brackets, railings, ladders, and specialty hardware — engineered to resist corrosion. Building to fit means stronger, cleaner connections sized precisely for your tidal conditions and loads rather than forced from generic parts.
Dock Construction & Decking
Whether you need a working platform for boats and gear or a comfortable spot on the canal, we build docks around how you use the water. Choose composite, wood, or low-maintenance decking suited to heavy coastal exposure. We engineer pilings and framing for tides and storm loads and handle permitting, so your Port of the Islands dock is safe, compliant, and built for the long haul.
Floating Dock Fabrication & Installation
With tidal movement along the Faka Union Canal, a floating dock keeps access reliable at any level. We fabricate and install marine-grade floating systems that rise and fall with the tide, giving you stable boarding for boats, kayaks, and skiffs. Modular and corrosion-resistant, they can be configured to your shoreline and expanded as needed.
Repairs, Maintenance & Accessories
The salt environment at Port of the Islands is tough on waterfront structures, so ongoing care is essential. We repair storm and corrosion damage, replace worn decking and hardware, service lifts, and add accessories like cleats, bumpers, ladders, and lighting. Whether your dock needs restoration or upgrades, we'll get it back in top shape for life on the water.
