At J&M Marine Construction, we build custom docks, boat lifts, and waterfront structures for homeowners in Everglades City. As the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades National Park, this historic community is one of Southwest Florida's great fishing and boating hubs — and its waterfront homes need docks built for serious tides and salt. We handle design, fabrication, and installation in-house, engineering every structure to endure Florida's sun, salt, tides, and storm exposure.
What We Build
Boat Lift Installation & Repair
In a dedicated fishing and boating town like Everglades City, protecting your vessel is priority one. We install cradle, cantilever, and elevator lifts sized to your boat and the tidal range at your shoreline, keeping the hull out of the salt water to prevent corrosion, staining, and growth. When salt takes its toll on an older lift, our repair crew replaces motors, cables, and bunks to keep you fishing.
Custom Welding & Fabrication
Every waterfront lot around Everglades City is different, and the salt environment is unforgiving, 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 rugged platform for launching skiffs or a comfortable spot to enjoy the water, we build docks around how you use them. 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 Everglades City dock is safe, compliant, and built for the long haul.
Floating Dock Fabrication & Installation
With significant tidal swings near the Ten Thousand Islands, a floating dock keeps access dependable at any water level. We fabricate and install marine-grade floating systems that rise and fall with the tide, giving you stable boarding for skiffs, kayaks, and larger boats. Modular and corrosion-resistant, they can be configured to your shoreline and expanded as needed.
Repairs, Maintenance & Accessories
The harsh salt environment around Everglades City is tough on waterfront structures, so proactive 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 rebuilding or a few upgrades, we'll get it back in top shape for life on the water.
