Do dock builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most areas, dock builders need some type of license. In some states, only a general construction license might be necessary, while a marine construction license is required in others. You can check online to see which is mandatory in your area, and then you can use Angi’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to make sure the company holds the proper license. Since dock construction is inherently dangerous, confirm with your builder that they are fully insured for everyone’s protection.</p></div>

Q: What are the common signs my seawall needs immediate repairs?

• <div><p>Bulging walls, cracks in the seawall's top or side, and the appearance of a seawall &quot;pulling away&quot; are all signs that you need repairs or reconstruction. The area around the seawall can also provide clues. For instance, you may notice water bubbling over in areas of your yard if your seawall has holes or cracks. The soil around the seawall may also appear to be sloping or sinking.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair a water dock myself?

• <div><p>Minor repairs like replacing boards can be DIY-friendly, but structural or underwater repairs require professional expertise.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a newly built dock?

• <div><p>Regularly inspect for structural issues, clean debris, and apply sealant to protect from water damage.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my dock?

• <div><p>The most significant factor in knowing whether to repair or replace your dock is the extent of the damage and its age. If you have minor cracks on a few boards and the dock is less than 15 years old, it'll likely be worth repairing the damaged part. However, it's time to replace this essential water feature if you have significant damage, such as rotting wood in multiple areas, warps or cracks in the dock supports, or a damaged foundation.</p></div>

George was very knowledgeable on what to look for. He was able to suggest several repairs to be done and he did it within a day of me calling him. He also answered one of the sellers questions with ease. His pricing is very fair and I would recommend him to anyone!
