Water and electricity share your dock. We wire docks, lifts, and shore power to a marine standard: stainless steel, shock-protected, permitted, and inspected.
State Certified Electrical Contractor · EC 13012575 · Licensed & InsuredSalt air, storm surge, and water don't forgive shortcuts. A dock wired like a garage fails early, and fails dangerously. We wire waterfront home docks across Fort Myers with marine-rated everything: stainless steel and ground fault protections that meet today's safety codes, permitted and inspected.
Dock wiring & rewires · Dock lighting · Shock protection brought up to today's code · Storm-damage repairs & rewires
Request a quoteA lift that trips the breaker halfway up, controls corroded, or a motor starved by wiring that's too small: we see it every week. We run dedicated, properly sized lift circuits with marine-rated products, planned alongside the receptacles, shore power, and lights the dock already carries.

Request a quoteIf the boat lives at your dock, it should plug in like it lives there: a proper shore power connection with code-compliant ground fault protection, not an extension cord run through a window. We install shore power receptacles and pedestals sized for the boat you have or the one you're planning on.

Water and electricity are an unforgiving combination, and dock equipment lives in the hardest environment in residential electrical work. Our rule for lift and dock problems is simple: there is one safe thing for you to check, and everything past it is our job.
If the lift won't run in either direction, check whether the breaker feeding the dock has tripped, and reset it once. If the lift still won't move, stop there. Lift circuits, controls, and dock wiring in salt air fail in ways that need proper diagnosis, and that part is ours.
If the lift has a manual switch, try it. If the lift runs from the switch but not the remote, or runs from neither, leave it alone and call. Control boxes at the dock are not something to open.
Check whether the GFCI on the dock or pedestal has tripped, and press reset once. If it won't hold, that outlet is telling you something is wrong in a wet environment. Leave it off and call us.
A GFCI at the water that keeps tripping is doing exactly what it's built to do. Don't bypass it, don't keep resetting it, and don't run cords around it. Call us and we'll find the cause.
Check the pedestal's breaker and GFCI once. Past that, shore power problems can sit in the pedestal, the wiring feeding it, or the boat's own connection, and sorting out which is not a do-it-yourself job.
If the one safe check doesn't fix it, we'll find the cause, explain it in plain language, and quote the work before we start. We respond to service requests within 1 to 2 business days.
Electric shock drowning happens when faulty dock wiring leaks electricity into the water. Swimmers are paralyzed by current they never feel coming. Aging insulation, corroded connections, and docks wired before shock protection was required are the usual causes, and a dock can be leaking electricity while everything on it still works.
The fix is straightforward: ground fault protection and wiring rated for marine environments. If your dock hasn't been inspected in years, or you don't know when it last was, have it checked. Ask about a dock safety check when you call.

Yes. Dock electrical work requires a permit and inspection in Lee County, and the inspection is your proof the work is safe around water. We handle both; you never deal with the county yourself.
Warning signs: breakers that trip when the lift runs, outlets that stopped working after a storm, tingling when touching a ladder or rail, or any dock that hasn't been rewired in decades. A dock can leak electricity into the water while everything on it still works. If you're unsure, have it inspected before anyone swims near it.
A dedicated circuit from your panel to a marine-rated inlet or pedestal at the dock, with built-in shock protection. We check what your panel can handle first: on homes with a lift, pumps, and dock lighting already running, that check decides whether the panel carries it or needs an upgrade.
Salt air, humidity, and storm exposure work on electrical connections around the clock, and dock equipment lives in all three. Corrosion tends to build inside connections and controls where it can't be seen, which is why dock problems often show up without warning, and why we use marine-rated hardware on every job at the water.
Yes. Storm damage is one of the most common reasons we're called out to docks in Southwest Florida. Salt water and wind are hard on dock wiring, and the damage isn't always visible from the walkway. We repair and rewire storm-damaged docks, permitted and inspected.
You can call us before or after lift installation, we offer many different solutions to meet your specific needs. A lift needs a dedicated circuit sized to its motor, and what your panel can handle decides what the dock can carry. We plan the circuit alongside the receptacles, lighting, and shore power the dock already has, so the lift starts on power that's right for it.
