"I spoke to 6 highly rated dock builders and chose Waterfront Eng. and I couldn't' be happier! Jan from the Treasure Island office was responsive to our needs and designed the best dock for our situation. It took some time from signing to installation but Jan was upfront about his schedule and definitely worth the wait! The crew was outstanding!

I would not hesitate to recommend Waterfront to anyone needing a dock or boat lift!"

Rayco Electric, Inc. is a full service electrical contracting company, serving residential, commercial and industrial customers since 1979. The Company is locally owned and operated and serves Manatee, Sarasota, Pinellas and south Hillsborough counties.

"I had to go through an inspection to get new home owners insurance on my duplex. During the initial inspection, I did not pass. I made sure that Rayco got a hold of the inspector so that they can do exactly what needed to be done to meet code requirements. The inspector came and it still did not pass inspection, even though Rayco was told exactly what was needed to be done. When I called Rayco to let them know, they said it was up to code and that they would look into it and get back to me. Later that day, they got back to me and said they contacted the person that did the work and they claimed everything was up to code. I ended up calling another electrical company who also spoke with the inspector before performing the work. The inspector came after the second company and we finally passed. I do not recommend Rayco."

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Minor repairs like replacing boards can be DIY-friendly, but structural or underwater repairs require professional expertise.

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’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.

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.

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 contractor licensing tool 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.

Yes, professionals can replace damaged flotation devices to maintain proper dock buoyancy.
