Licensed, insured marine contractors serving Matlacha & Pine Island
Matlacha, Pine Island, and St. James City sit on open water with direct exposure to Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass. Seawalls and shorelines here took significant damage from Hurricane Ian. Some properties may be candidates for rip rap or alternative shorelines, subject to permitting.
How seawall jobs typically go in Matlacha & Pine Island
- Inspection. A marine contractor checks the cap, panels, seams, weep holes, backfill, and tiebacks, often with a look at the canal side from a boat or at low tide.
- Repair or replace. Small cracks, cap spalling, and seam leaks can usually be repaired. A wall that's leaning, rotating, or failing at the toe may need a vinyl or concrete overlay, new tiebacks, or full replacement.
- Permits. Most structural seawall work requires a permit from the local building department and sometimes state or federal approvals. Your contractor should handle the paperwork.
- Construction. Barge or land-side access depends on the job. Ask how they'll protect your dock, lift, pool cage, and landscaping.
Signs to watch for
- Sinkholes or depressions in the yard behind the wall
- Cracks or gaps along panel seams, or soil washing out at low tide
- A cap that's cracked, spalled, or has exposed rebar
- The wall leaning toward the canal

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rip rap instead of a seawall?
On some properties, sloped rip rap or living shorelines may be allowed. Permitting determines what's possible.
