Salt air and water find every weak point. The most common problems we fix:
Docks and seawalls are wet locations with special electrical code requirements, including ground-fault protection. We use marine-grade, corrosion-resistant fixtures and fittings, sealed connections and properly rated wiring, and we pull permits when the work requires one. On beachfront properties, outdoor lighting may also need to follow sea turtle protection rules during nesting season — we'll tell you if that applies.
Please note: we install and repair dock and outdoor lighting and receptacles. We don't service boat lift motors or controls — for those, contact a boat lift specialist.
We also install pathway, garden, pool-area and facade lighting, so the whole yard — not just the dock — is lit safely and consistently. For waterfront homes, we also recommend whole-home surge protection.
Dock lighting depends on the number of fixtures, the distance from the power source and the condition of the existing wiring, so we quote in writing after a visit. Repairs start with a diagnostic; see our price list.
