Boathouse Construction on the Treasure Coast
Boathouse Photo Gallery
Boathouses, covered slips and roofs over lifts
A boathouse, also called a boat house, is a roofed structure over the slip: shade from Florida sun, cover from rain and salt, and a cleaner step on and off the dock. America Strong Construction designs, permits and builds boathouses and covered slips alongside the docks, boat lifts, seawalls, rip-rap and dredging we already handle from Port St. Lucie to Palm Beach Gardens, including Jupiter, Stuart, Palm City, Tequesta and Hobe Sound. The pilings, framing and roof have to work as one structure, not as a roof set on an unrelated dock. Almost every new boathouse or roof over a dock needs review, which can include the local building department, county environmental review, FDEP or SFWMD, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We coordinate engineered plans and the permit package. License #SCC131152860.
Planning your waterfront project
Boathouse planning, service areas and next steps
From site review to construction
Start with a discussion of your property, existing structures, access and project goals. Review the site and available records, define the scope, coordinate engineered plans and applicable permits, then organize construction around the approved design. Requirements and timing vary by waterway and jurisdiction; approvals are not guaranteed.
Coordinated marine construction
Discuss the complete project rather than treating each component in isolation. Where appropriate, coordinate docks, boat lifts, boathouses, seawalls, rip-rap and dredging around the site, access and approved scope.
Towns served
Hobe Sound, Stuart, Palm City, Sewall's Point, Port Salerno, Jensen Beach, Rio, Sailfish Point, Hutchinson Island, Port St. Lucie, Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens and Singer Island; serving Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties.
More project questions
Can the dock, lift and boathouse be planned together? Yes. Coordinating the dock footprint, lift clearance, pilings and roof from the start helps the components work together. The final scope follows engineered plans and permit approvals.
What should I send for an initial boathouse discussion? Send the town, photos of the dock and lift, approximate boat dimensions and the coverage you want. Existing plans or permit documents can help with the initial review.
Can every waterfront property have a roof over the water? No. Setbacks, slip coverage, height, navigation and environmental requirements vary by property and waterway. Confirm what is allowable before choosing a roof layout.
