Brevard County · Since 1962
Life on Merritt Island has always been connected to the water. The Indian River Lagoon, quiet canal systems, early mornings heading out by boat, evenings watching the light settle across the river — waterfront living here feels different than anywhere else on the Space Coast.
At Waterfront Solutions, we believe the structures built along that shoreline should feel just as lasting and intentional as the lifestyle itself.
For generations, we’ve helped Merritt Island homeowners create and protect waterfront spaces through custom docks, boat lifts, seawalls, and shoreline solutions built with craftsmanship, integrity, and respect for the character of the property.
No two properties along Merritt Island’s waterways are exactly alike. Some homes sit tucked along protected canals with direct access to the Banana River. Others open to wide stretches of lagoon shoreline shaped by tides, storms, and years of coastal exposure.
Every project begins with understanding how the property interacts with the water — and how the homeowner wants to experience it.
Whether we’re replacing an aging seawall or building a dock designed to become part of the home itself, our focus remains the same: thoughtful construction built for long-term waterfront living on the Space Coast.
Marine construction on Merritt Island requires more than standard building practices. Constant salt air, changing tides, tropical weather, intense sun exposure, and daily waterfront use all place demands on structures over time.
That’s why we use marine-grade materials and proven coastal construction methods designed specifically for Florida waterfront environments.
Our goal is to create waterfront structures that not only perform well, but continue to feel like they belong to the property for years to come.
Permitting, shoreline regulations, environmental considerations, and coastal construction requirements can quickly become overwhelming without the right experience and local knowledge.
As a company with roots in Merritt Island dating back to 1962, Waterfront Solutions understands both the technical side of marine construction and the responsibility that comes with building along one of Florida’s most unique waterfront environments.
We pull all required permits and coordinate directly with the appropriate governing agencies on your behalf.
The best waterfront structures don’t feel temporary or overly engineered. They feel like they’ve always belonged there — connected naturally to the shoreline, the home, and the rhythm of life along the water.
That’s the standard we bring to every project.
Because on Merritt Island, waterfront living isn’t simply about property ownership. It’s about preserving a way of life that families here have valued for generations.
The simple answer is yes. Most waterfront construction projects in Merritt Island require permits and coordination with local, state, and environmental agencies. There are some exemptions for smaller waterfront projects, as well as certain repairs or renovations that impact less than 50% of an existing structure. Waterfront Solutions has extensive experience navigating federal, state, and local permitting requirements and can manage the approval process on your behalf.
Composite dock systems are popular for their durability and low maintenance, while marine-treated wood remains a timeless choice for many waterfront properties. Grated decking can be an excellent option when light penetration and water submersion are involved. The right material depends on your goals, budget, and shoreline conditions.
The lifespan of a seawall depends on the materials used, installation quality, environmental exposure, and maintenance over time. Depending on the application, modern vinyl and composite systems may include manufacturer warranties ranging from 25 to 60 years. Our team can help you compare available options and determine which system is the best fit for your property and long-term goals.
We work with industry-leading products from manufacturers such as Owens Corning, ShoreGuard, and Tidewall Systems.
