Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a pier or boathouse?
Timelines vary depending on design complexity, material selection, and weather. Most projects in Biloxi are completed within six to ten weeks, including permitting and installation. Advanced builds with lifts, roofing, or power integration may require more time for engineering precision and coastal compliance.
Do I need a permit to build a boathouse in Biloxi?
Yes. In Biloxi, Mississippi, local and state permits are mandatory. DockFitter, LLC manages the entire permitting process, ensuring compliance with zoning, coastal, and environmental standards. Our team prevents unnecessary delays by securing approvals before construction begins, keeping your project legally sound and efficiently executed.
What materials are best for coastal durability?
Marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and pressure-treated wood are top choices for Biloxi’s coastal climate. These materials resist corrosion, salt exposure, and UV degradation while providing strength and longevity. DockFitter, LLC uses only proven, high-quality materials engineered to withstand Gulf Coast weather conditions.

How do I maintain a pier in coastal conditions?

Can existing docks or piers be converted into boathouses?
Yes, conversion is feasible when the current dock foundation is sound. We inspect pile depth, structure alignment, and material condition before designing compatible extensions or roofing. This approach ensures safety, compliance, and functionality without compromising the original structure’s integrity.
