"We contracted with Robert Hershberger Construction to install Hardy Board siding on our wood frame home. We were ultimately pleased with the end project and overall improved look of the home. However, as the work was being completed and issues arose Mr. Hershberger was difficult to contact. It would take him several days to return our calls, all as his workers were continuing a project we had questions about. Several items outside of our home were damaged (pool equipment) but Mr. Hershberger repaired/replaced them all. What we are waiting for is a $500.00 rebate which was promised. When we sought bids for the project our decision came down between two options. Mr. Hershberger convinced us to go with his company promising a $750.00 rebate approved by the manufacturer. After the completion of the work, the manufacturer delivered a $250.00 rebate and stated that Mr. Hershberger was responsible for the rest. To date, after emails and phone calls, we still wait for our $500.00 owed and agreed to in the contract. The work was excellent, but the business side is quite poor.

"James is a great guy to work with. He gives you all the steps that go into everything that will be happening over the next couple weeks. Yes, this will take weeks because there is a lot that goes into cabinetry work and etc. Trust me its worth the wait. I am completely satisfied and plan on using him again for my bathroom renovation soon."

Dock Building and Repair FAQs, 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.

If you don’t want to rely on an anchor on land, you can also build dock posts. You’ll need to rent a water jet to blow out sand and silt from the lake floor in order to place the posts; it’s a complicated task that is best left to a professional.

Common features in lakefront landscaping projects include native and water-tolerant plants, stone paths, docks or piers, seating areas, and erosion control solutions to create a harmonious integration with the waterfront setting.

Building a dock is a complicated and time-intensive project, so professional builders typically take several weeks or several months to complete dock construction. Smaller docks in relatively shallow water may take two to four weeks to complete, while large or ornate docks in deep water could take up to six months. The timeline depends on the size and type of dock you want, the weather conditions in your area, and how ornate the construction needs to be. Your dock builder should give you an estimated timeline for construction along with your quote.

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.
