What we do
Seawall rules, permits and prices are local and hard to find. We research them county by county, from the codes, the permit guidelines and what contractors publish, and write them up so you know what to expect before anyone quotes you. We link to our sources so you can check them.
When you're ready for a quote, you send us the details, and we pass them to one licensed contractor who works in your area.
What we don't do
- We're not a contractor. We don't build, repair, inspect or install anything, and we don't hold a contractor's licence.
- We don't give engineering or legal advice. The guides are general information. Your contractor, engineer and building department decide what your property needs.
- We don't sell your details to lists or send your request to several contractors at once.
How we choose contractors
Before we pass any request to a contractor, we check:
- a current Florida state licence or county certificate that covers marine work
- general liability and workers' compensation insurance
- their record in public reviews and complaints
If homeowners tell us a contractor didn't follow up or didn't treat them well, we stop sending them requests.
How we're paid
Contractors pay us a fee for each request we pass to them. Homeowners pay nothing. The fee is the same whatever the job's price, so we have no reason to steer you toward bigger work.
Where we work
We started in 2026 with Broward County, Lee County and Pinellas County, and plan to add more of Florida's coast over time.
