Mar 22, 2016 10:37:00 AM by [Duncan Seawall](https://blog.duncanseawall.com/author/duncan-seawall) 0 Comments - - - If you own a Florida waterfront property, a sound seawall is essential to protect your home and property from storms and rising waters. At Duncan Seawall, one of Southwest Florida's largest marine contractors, we provide [seawall construction](https://www.duncanseawall.com/seawalls) to withstand Florida's most brutal marine conditions. ***Related Blog: [Customer Dock Construction Testimonial](https://blog.duncanseawall.com/customer-dock-construction-testimonial)*** Seawall Materials: **Concrete** – The most proven and long-lasting seawall available requires heavy equipment for installation, which leaves many marine contractors unable to install. Our precast eight inch-thick concrete panels are reinforced with steel rebar for superior strength and stability. Once installed, panels are reinforced with a 5,000 P.S.I. steel reinforced concrete cap and tieback system that's strong and aesthetically appealing. **Corrugated Panels** – We offer corrugated [seawall](https://www.duncanseawall.com/seawall-construction) panels in steel, aluminum, vinyl and composite materials. In areas where concrete is not the best option due to site conditions or cost constraints, our corrugated panels offer excellent alternatives for seawall construction in both light and heavy duty applications. **Wood** – Wood retaining walls are great on in-land freshwater properties that don't require the strength and corrosion resistance of saltwater [seawalls](https://www.duncanseawall.com/seawalls). For properties that don't require a seawall, an upland wood retaining wall may also be constructed. Our superior seawall construction is built to last through years of Florida's most extreme marine weather conditions. Known as one of the highest quality marine contractors in the industry, Duncan Seawall does all project permitting and completes construction projects within the estimated timeframes to ensure quality service and a superior project. Since 1979, Duncan Seawall has completed [thousands of projects](https://www.duncanseawall.com/project-gallery) in Southwest Florida throughout Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Pinellas and other surrounding counties. We offer a complete line of waterfront structures such as seawalls, docks, observation decks and boat lifts, as well as dredging services.
