"Kitchen Remodeling Review ?I hired JY Remodel Co. to remodel my kitchen, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. They were professional, showed up on time, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and they kept the work area clean throughout the project. My new kitchen looks modern, beautiful, and exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend JY Remodel Co. to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality remodeling services. I will definitely hire them again for future projects!?"

"Great experience. Jerry replaced a couple shingles that blew off my roof. He also repaired many shingles that were loose and ready to come off also without additional expense to me. (Above and beyond) He is multi skilled and also did some other repairs around the house also. He does Do It All. All his prices were very fair and reasonable. Very impressed. Also got some other estimates for things to be done. Finally found a great handyman to do things we are not able to physically do. Plan on using him much more. Erin was also very helpful and professional. Response time was exceptional, came out and met me after my work hours and did repairs next day. Call them- you will be happy."

"Ernie stopped by to help repair a single piece of siding that fell off close to the roof on the side of our house. He was prompt and quick, so much so he asked if he could help us with any other possible tasks to help fill in the hour. I would definitely hire this company again should the need come up!"

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:

  • Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.

  • Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.

  • Can you enclose the dock? 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.

  • Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? 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.

Yes, many professionals handle necessary permits to ensure legal compliance.

To maintain a dock, perform regular inspections for structural issues, clean away debris, and apply a sealant to wood components. This protects the dock from water damage and prevents premature wear and structural damage.

You will likely need a permit to build a new dock or add to an existing one, especially if it's a permanent structure. Permit requirements vary by location, as they are typically set by local municipalities, counties, or cities rather than states. You should check with your local government or building department to determine what paperwork is required before you begin. In many areas, you may need multiple permits, including general construction permits and those designed to protect local marine life. Additionally, if you are part of a homeowner's association (HOA), they may have their own rules regarding docks, such as minimum distances between neighboring docks. It's best to check with all relevant authorities (city, county, HOA) to ensure you are in compliance. A professional dock builder can often handle the permit-pulling process for you.

The cost of a new dock can range from $3,000 to $30,000, depending on the extent of the project size, location, and additional features.

For example, a boat lift can range from $1,000 to $8,000. The ladder you'll need for your dock can be anywhere from $100 to $800, not including installation. In addition, the decking you'll need for your dock can cost between $15 and $30 per square foot.
