Q: What other things should I consider before building a dock?

• <div><p>Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:</p><ul><li><p><b>Are you damaging the environment?</b> Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.</p></li><li><p><b>Are you blocking access? </b>Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.</p></li><li><p><b>Can you enclose the dock? </b>Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.</p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines?</b> Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you&rsquo;ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are common issues requiring dock repair?

• <div><p>Rotting wood, loose boards, rusted fasteners, and damaged pilings often require repair to maintain safety and functionality.</p></div>

Q: How often do boat docks need maintenance?

• <div><p>Boat docks need maintenance every year. Get an inspection at the end of each warm weather season, and remove the dock from the water if possible (if it&rsquo;s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.</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: What is the lifespan of a dock?

• <div><p>Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock&rsquo;s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.</p></div>

They were very quick and repaired the dime sized holes in my wall as expected. They unfortunately got plaster all over my plants, wood flooring, media console and windows due to the fact that they did not cover the work area properly. I ended up having to clean all of this up after the job.
