About 20-25 minutes northwest of downtown Tampa. Custom boat docks, seawalls, boat lifts, and storm-damage rebuilds for Westchase waterfront homeowners.
Westchase waterfront is mostly canal-front and pond-front, with a smaller number of homes sitting on Channel A and Channel B feeding out toward Old Tampa Bay. The water here is generally protected with minimal wave action, but several canals have shallow draft at low tide, which significantly affects boat size and lift placement.
Most Westchase dock projects we build are residential, mid-size, and oriented around protected canal water — typical builds are 4x40 to 5x60 with 7K-12K lb lifts for typical Bay-fishing and pleasure-boat use. The community standards in Westchase HOAs are stricter than average, and we know what gets approved and what doesn't.
Westchase canal water is among the shallowest of any Tampa waterfront community we work in. We've measured canals here at 18-24 inches at low tide in some sections — which immediately limits boat options and forces lift design to clear bottom even at the year's lowest predicted tide. Cutting corners on depth survey here is one of the most expensive mistakes a homeowner can make.

It varies significantly by canal section. Some Westchase canals run 4-5 feet at low tide; others are 18-24 inches in the same canal system depending on dredging history. We measure your specific canal at high and low tide before quoting.
Most Westchase sub-communities have architectural review committees that need to approve dock plans before county permits are filed. We've worked with every Westchase HOA for years and handle the submission as part of our process.
Most Westchase canals comfortably support boats up to about 24-26 ft with proper lift selection. Deeper canal sections support larger boats. We assess this site-by-site rather than giving a blanket answer.
Most Westchase residential dock builds run $22,000-$40,000 fully built and permitted. Canal-front builds tend to be shorter than open-water builds, which keeps cost lower than equivalent bay-front projects.
