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’s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.</p></div>

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’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does water dock repair take?

• <div><p>Most dock repairs take 1-5 days, depending on the extent of the damage and weather conditions affecting the work schedule.</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: 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>

Great experience. They were very cooperative, and even went ahead with the repairs even though my roof is a little higher up than I thought. Made the repairs and then sent me pictures at the end.

"Our house is in a historical district and approval is needed from the Historical Commission before work can be done. There was other work already scheduled on the property and Felipe was understanding that the exterior painting had to wait. When it was time for the painting, Felipe scheduled the work without much delay. Felipe informed us at each step during the painting, ie, replacing siding. The workers were friendly and respectful. Considering the work to be done, it was completed in a timely manner even though there were a few rainy days."
