Expensive surprises to avoid.

AI-generated illustration

Seawall replacement is one of the most expensive repairs on a waterfront property. Have a marine contractor or engineer inspect the cap, panels, tiebacks and signs of soil loss behind the wall.

Docks and lifts need permits from the local government, and larger projects may also need state and federal permits.

Some municipalities have adopted minimum seawall elevation requirements, so confirm local rules if work is needed.
