A visual evaluation of docks, decking, and boat lift equipment on Tampa Bay waterfront homes.
For many Tampa Bay buyers, the dock and boat lift are a big part of the property's value. A dock and boat lift inspection visually evaluates the decking, visible framing and pilings, hardware, and the boat lift's visible components and operation where possible.
Problems like deteriorated decking, corroded hardware, and worn lift components are common in salt water and can be expensive to fix.
Docks and lifts face constant water exposure.
Loose, rotted, or damaged boards and framing.
Visible portions of the pilings above the water.
Visible components, cables, and operation.
Visible dock and lift electrical concerns.
