“One day a local asked if I would be willing to build their dock, and I jumped at the opportunity. All my skills in welding, diving, fabrication, and building came together… Since then the company took off like a wildfire! I love my job and being out on the water everyday.”
-Michael Dellefave, Owner
our history
Michael has been building docks, decks, seawalls, and boathouses throughout the Orlando area for over a decade, officially founding Dellefave Contracting in 2015. What began with small, residential dock projects quickly grew into larger, more complex marine construction work—earned through trust, craftsmanship, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations on every job.
Dellefave Contracting has developed a highly efficient operation supported by a specialized, experienced crew and industry-leading equipment. The company utilizes a full fleet of marine and land-based machinery, including a barge, crane, vibratory hammer, jet pump, skid steer, and mini excavator—allowing projects to be completed safely, precisely, and on schedule.
With a knowledgeable and skilled team, Dellefave Contracting offers fully customizable builds tailored to each waterfront property. In-house welding capabilities allow Michael to custom-fabricate components from a variety of materials, delivering solutions that are both functional and uniquely designed for each project.

get a job done right.
“The Dellefave contracting team has done several projects around our house, including a beautiful deck and pergola that my mother in law spends many hours a day enjoying in our backyard. Michael and his guys are always great to work with, and willing to do what is necessary to get a job done right. They do more than just docks and seawalls, although that is where they really shine! Thanks guys!”

quality is what makes the difference....
“Working with Dellefave was such a great experience and I could not be happier with my dock. They understand that quality is what makes the difference, to the point that my neighbor even mentioned the thoroughness within their work. The dock turned out beautiful and they worked with me on the unique design stuff that I wanted. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a dock or seawall”

Best of the best. As lakefront owners, we have worked with several companies specialized in dock construction services. Dellafave has been by far the most punctual, professional, and best communicators that I we have dealt with. Highly recommended.
