These are a small, selected set of public records. They are not our projects, contractor quotes or a Palm Coast average. We omit owner details and do not recommend a contractor from a permit entry.

Why not turn those values into a price per foot?
A wall with a return, access work or bundled restoration cannot be compared fairly by dividing the total by its main length. The record may not identify material, allowances or the final paid amount. Ask each bidder for the same written design and work limits instead.

An inspection can help answer the questions you were unsure about.
An on-site inspection is needed to assess the wall’s condition. These answers help you explain what you have noticed.

What could your seawall cost?
Published Florida planning ranges, not Palm Coast quotes. Confirm the full scope for your property.
Enter your wall length and work type to calculate a starting range. Choose a material for construction pricing, or enter your own quote to add known extras and a reserve.
Repair prices by type
Use the length that actually needs repair. The method, damage and minimum job costs can change the final quote.
| Work | Amount | What the price covers | Area and source |
|---|---|---|---|
Seawall repairs | $150–$600 | per foot of wall; Repair method and damage change the price. Calculate only the affected length; minimum job costs may apply. | Florida [2] |
New-wall prices per foot
These published Florida contractor ranges support early planning. They are not Palm Coast averages or itemized local quotes.
| Material / work | Price per foot of wall | Area, included work and source |
|---|---|---|
Vinyl | $400–$650 | Florida; published by a Southwest Florida contractor · Broad Florida construction planning range; confirm design, demolition, permits, access and restoration in the quote. [1] |
Composite | $500–$800 | Florida; published by a Southwest Florida contractor · Broad Florida construction planning range; confirm design, demolition, permits, access and restoration in the quote. [1] |
Concrete | $650–$900 | Florida; published by a Southwest Florida contractor · Broad Florida construction planning range; confirm design, demolition, permits, access and restoration in the quote. [1] |
Steel | $700–$1,000+ | Florida; published by a Southwest Florida contractor · Broad Florida construction planning range; confirm design, demolition, permits, access and restoration in the quote. [1] |
50-, 75- and 100-foot examples
Multiply the wall length by the price per foot. These calculations use the published construction inputs above. They do not include every site-specific addition.
| Material / work | 50 feet | 75 feet | 100 feet |
|---|---|---|---|
Vinyl | $20,000–$32,500 | $30,000–$48,750 | $40,000–$65,000 |
Composite | $25,000–$40,000 | $37,500–$60,000 | $50,000–$80,000 |
Concrete | $32,500–$45,000 | $48,750–$67,500 | $65,000–$90,000 |
Steel | $35,000–$50,000+ | $52,500–$75,000+ | $70,000–$100,000+ |
For example: 75 ft × $400–$650/ft = $30,000–$48,750. Check your wall length and what the price includes.
What to include in your price
Ask for a written list of what the price covers. Include the related work below when planning your total budget.
- Inspection, design, wall material, wall length and planned height.
- Removing the old wall, waste disposal, site access and temporary protection.
- Drainage, soil behind the wall, supports, wall cap, docks and utilities.
- Permit applications, fees, inspections, cleanup and final paperwork.
- Extra costs, work left out, a reserve for unexpected work and approval of price changes.
How should permit fees enter your budget?
Use Palm Coast’s linked calculator for the actual project and ask which reviews or later revisions are additional. For county or Flagler Beach parcels, use that office’s current schedule. A building-permit estimate does not include engineering or every environmental review.

Questions before accepting a price
- Which quantities are fixed and which are allowances?
- Are dock removal, permits and restoration included?
- What triggers a change order, and who approves it?
- What is the payment schedule tied to?
- Which warranty exclusions and maintenance obligations apply?
Build a quote comparison you can actually use
- Give bidders the same brief
Provide the same work limits, available drawings and access information. List the items you want priced separately, including assessment, design, dock work and restoration.
- Separate fixed items and allowances
Copy each included quantity and allowance into a comparison sheet. Mark an unpriced item as “not priced,” rather than zero. Ask for the rate or approval process when a quantity changes.
- Add the owner-paid items
Some proposals leave engineering, permit fees, utility work or landscaping to the owner. Keep these alongside the construction total so a lower bid is not simply a narrower scope.
- Use confirmed inputs in the planner
Enter written prices you actually have. Keep unresolved work visible as an unknown, and ask the designer or contractor what contingency is appropriate for the specific project.
Example: a lower total can hide a larger scope gap
Compare inclusions before comparing totalsIf one proposal includes dock removal and paving restoration while another excludes both, request those missing prices before ranking the bids. An unknown amount is not a saving. This is a comparison method, not a local rate estimate.
Ask for the payment milestones and closeout documents beside the price. Confirm what the final payment is tied to in the contract, and get professional advice on terms you do not understand. Keep anticipated insurance reimbursement separate from funds already available.
Where the calculator’s numbers come from
The automatic calculator uses published Florida contractor guidance: SeaBee’s material ranges and Solid Foundations’ repair range. They provide an early comparison, not a Palm Coast price promise. General comparisons are labeled when the material or work is undecided. Raising or moving a wall uses your own project quote.
For example, 80 feet of concrete uses $650–$900 per foot: $52,000–$72,000 before site-specific additions. Repair calculations use only the length needing repair. If length is unknown, the calculator shows the per-foot range instead of inventing a project size.

How to use these prices
The calculator multiplies published Florida contractor ranges by the entered length. Repair pricing uses the affected length. Material-specific ranges cover vinyl, composite, concrete and steel; other selections use a clearly labeled general construction comparison. Height changes use your own quote. Palm Coast permit job values remain separate historical examples and are never converted into rates.
