(239) 910-6451What We Do
Comprehensive marine services delivered with the expertise and care your vessel deserves.
Boat Carpentry & Woodwork
Jesse's Backyard Boatworks offers professional boat carpentry & woodwork services in Cape Coral, FL.
Boat Mechanics & Engine Repair
We diagnose and repair outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines, tackling everything from rough-running motors and fuel system issues to overheating problems and electrical faults. Keeping your engine in reliable working order means more time on the water and fewer unexpected breakdowns. We work on a wide range of makes and models and won't recommend repairs you don't actually need.
Boat Detailing & Cleaning
Our boat detailing service goes beyond a basic wash — we clean, polish, and protect your vessel's hull, deck, and interior surfaces to restore appearance and guard against the wear that saltwater and sun exposure cause over time. Regular professional detailing helps maintain your boat's finish, protects the gel coat, and keeps the overall condition of your vessel where it should be.
Marine Electrical & Electronics
Jesse's Backyard Boatworks offers professional marine electrical & electronics services in Cape Coral, FL.
Bottom Painting & Antifouling
We prep and apply antifouling bottom paint to protect your hull from barnacle buildup, marine growth, and the drag and damage that comes with it. Proper surface preparation and the right antifouling product selection make a real difference in how long the coating lasts and how well your boat performs in the water. We handle the full process from haul-out prep through final coat application.
Fiberglass & Gelcoat Repair
We repair stress cracks, impact damage, osmotic blisters, and gelcoat chips to restore the structural integrity and appearance of your fiberglass hull and deck. Matching gelcoat color and texture takes a careful hand, and we take the time to get it right so repairs blend cleanly with the surrounding surface. Addressing fiberglass damage early prevents moisture intrusion and more costly structural problems down the road.
