Before & After Seawall Restoration Projects
Florida's waterfront properties face a tough mix of conditions, like hurricanes, saltwater corrosion, constant tidal movement, and the slow soil erosion that affects every aging wall. The projects below show what real seawall restoration & seawall erosion repair looks like across the state, from small residential canals to large commercial waterfronts. Each one started as a problem and ended with an engineered, permitted result built to last.
This gallery covers the full range of work Florida Seawall Solutions handles, including full vinyl seawall replacement, commercial composite sheet pile installations, hurricane damage repair after Ian and Nicole, seawall cap and tieback reinforcement, and soil stabilization where erosion has already moved in behind the wall. You'll see specific measurements, materials, and engineering details on every project.
Residential & Commercial Seawall Replacement & Seawall Repair Before and After Case Studies
Commercial Seawall Restoration Projects
Daytona Twin Tower Commercial Seawall
A full shoreline stabilization project at commercial scale, the DiMucci Towers were hit by Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in 2022, washing nearly a third of their property into the ocean. Their 50-year-old twelve-foot-high seawall was gone, leaving the building completely exposed to the sea. Enter Florida Seawall Solutions to replace the 400-foot-long wall with a new state-of-the-art, high-tech wall.
Shirley Harrington,
Secretary - DiMucci Twin Towers - Board of Directors
"I'm very pleased, and our condo owners are very pleased. We have heard nothing but positive feedback about what's going on here. This is going to be like a brand-new property. The Florida Seawall crew is absolutely professional. They're respectful and responsive. They're just professionals. I can't say it any other way. They've been a delight to work with, and they're very straightforward. They don't sugarcoat it. They tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly. The rest of the board and I feel like they're extremely honest. The board and I recommend Florida Seawall Solutions to everybody that we speak to."
Sanibel Condominium Commercial Seawall
The previous seawall at Sanibel Condominium was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. Sanibel contacted FSS after seeing prior work along the nearby beach. FSS replaced 300 feet of their failed concrete seawall panels with all-new composite sheet seawall panels, selected for long-term coastal erosion protection in a directly exposed environment. On top of the composite sheet piles, FSS added helical tiebacks every 10 feet along with a 3-foot-wide by 2-foot-tall reinforced concrete cap.
Residential Seawall Replacement Projects
Rutz Residential Seawall
The customer contacted FSS because the seawall on the property had aged out. FSS installed a new vinyl seawall in front of his existing seawall, using a mixture of 16 and 18-foot panels combined with a 2x2-foot concrete cap. To add extra support, FSS filled in between the existing and old walls with concrete.
Turner Residential Seawall
The customer called FSS because the seawall had failed, causing significant erosion near their home. FSS applied for an emergency permit and had it approved, reducing the permitting process by about 4 months.
Results: FSS removed the failing 130-foot wall and replaced it with a new vinyl seawall with a concrete cap and tie-backs.

Weir Residential Seawall
The customer was renovating their backyard and needed a new seawall.
FSS installed an 80-foot vinyl seawall under the right conditions. While installing the seawall, they encountered several complications that they were able to resolve. Including voids under the neighboring foundation. To address this issue, FSS also added concrete to the neighbor's foundation to prevent future erosion at the Weir residence.
Specific details for the build include: FSS built a new 80-foot seawall with a robust 20-inch-by-24-inch-wide, 80-foot-long reinforced cap, along with 10 helical tiebacks.

Scheer Residential Seawall
The customer reached out to FSS because they needed a new seawall built. They wanted to add a pool to their property but needed to ensure their new pool would be stable by building a seawall first.
FSS built a new 80-foot vinyl seawall with helical tiebacks at 9-foot intervals, along with a reinforced concrete cap measuring 20 inches by 24 inches and extending 80 feet.
Morgan Residential Seawall
The customer's previous seawall was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. They reached out to FSS to remove their old wall and replace it with a new 90-foot vinyl seawall. The customer's new 90-foot vinyl seawall was topped with a 20-inch-by-24-inch concrete cap, with helical tiebacks every 9 feet.
Seawall Erosion Repair & Reinforcement Projects
Joe's Residential Seawall
The problem the customer had was that there was a 6’ wide concrete walkway that was covering up years of soil loss. It was happening behind his wall due to failing seams. The walkway started to collapse. Joe called us, and I went out and recommended that we demo the walkway and do injections at every seam, install jet filters to keep it flowing, and then rebuild the walkway and retaining wall.
Greg & Tony Seawall Cap
The client was concerned because their seawall was bowing, and they had a few 'potholes' in their yard. Upon further inspection, it became apparent that their tie-backs had deteriorated, leaving the wall practically freestanding. A strong tide or storm could have pulled the wall right over. Also, their wall seams were no longer sealed, allowing soil behind the wall to erode through it and into the water (a textbook case of hydrostatic pressure pushing groundwater and soil out through every weak point), causing the potholes and voids in the yard.
With the client's permission, we not only fixed the tiebacks, sealed the seams, and filled the potholes, but we also installed a new 120-foot seawall cap and sidewalk. And we added a nice waterside patio and steps so they can enjoy their waterfront property even more.
Hurricane Seawall Damage Restoration
Lesh Residential Seawall
Hurricane Ian destroyed 35 feet of the customer's 70-foot seawall. To save the customer money, FSS replaced only the damaged section of the seawall with new vinyl, since the other half of the project was still in good condition and did not need to be replaced. The damaged section was replaced with a new vinyl sheet pile topped with a 20-inch-by-24-inch reinforced concrete cap, with helical tiebacks every 9 feet on-center.
Seawall Restoration FAQs
How long does a seawall restoration take?
This depends on the scope of the project, though we can say that residential seawall replacements can take around 1–3 weeks to complete. Commercial projects and hurricane seawall damage restoration may take longer, depending on permitting and engineering requirements.
What does seawall restoration cost in Florida?
Cost varies based on linear footage, materials, soil conditions, and structural requirements. Contact us for a free evaluation and project-specific estimate.
Can a damaged seawall be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the extent of the damage. We may be able to repair minor cracking or tieback failure, though significant erosion, structural failure, or hurricane damage may require full replacement.
What materials are used for seawall replacement in Florida?
FSS primarily uses vinyl sheet pile for residential projects because it is resistant to saltwater corrosion. We may use composite panels, concrete, or steel for commercial projects, depending on engineering requirements
Do you handle both residential and commercial seawall installation projects?
Yes, we handle seawall restoration for residential waterfront properties, condominiums, marinas, and commercial waterfronts across Florida. View our full list of service areas to see if we cover your location.
