Hurricane Dock Preparation
Every hurricane season, the docks that survive best are the ones prepared in June, not the ones scrambled on in October. We run a pre-season checklist that catches the weak points before wind and surge find them for you.

Hurricane Dock Preparation Questions
Ideally by early June, before Florida's hurricane season officially begins June 1st. Structural reinforcement and hardware upgrades take time, and you don't want to be scheduling this work with a storm already offshore.
