At J&M Marine Construction, we build custom docks, boat lifts, and waterfront structures for homeowners on Fort Myers Beach and Estero Island. Surrounded by the Gulf, Estero Bay, and the back-bay canals, this barrier-island community demands docks engineered for exposed, saltwater, storm-prone conditions. We handle design, fabrication, and installation in-house, building every structure to endure intense sun, salt, tides, and the storm exposure that comes with island living.
What We Build
Boat Lift Installation & Repair
On an exposed barrier island, protecting your boat is critical. We install cradle, cantilever, and elevator lifts sized to your vessel and the tidal range, keeping the hull out of the salt water to prevent corrosion and marine growth. Because island conditions are demanding, we build and service lifts to a higher standard — and when salt wears an older unit down, our repair crew replaces motors, cables, and bunks to keep it running.
Custom Welding & Fabrication
Every bayside and canal lot on Fort Myers Beach is different, and the exposed salt environment is unforgiving, so we fabricate to fit and to survive. 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 conditions instead of generic parts that fail fast in salt air.
Dock Construction & Decking
Whether you want a compact platform or a full waterfront living space, we build docks designed for island life. Choose composite, wood, or low-maintenance decking made for heavy coastal exposure. We engineer pilings and framing for tides and storm loads, and we handle permitting and seawall details with barrier-island regulations in mind, so your Fort Myers Beach dock is safe, compliant, and built to last.
Floating Dock Fabrication & Installation
With bay tides around Estero Island, a floating dock keeps access dependable at any water level. We fabricate and install marine-grade floating systems that move with the tide, giving you stable boarding for boats, kayaks, and paddle craft. Modular and corrosion-resistant, our floating docks can be configured to your shoreline and expanded over time.
Repairs, Maintenance & Accessories
Exposed island waterfronts take a beating from salt and storms, 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 dock lighting. Whether your dock needs rebuilding after a storm or a straightforward upgrade, we'll restore your Fort Myers Beach waterfront.
