"Chris came on board to complete the build of our new home part way through the build process. There were a lot of issues going on that pertained to the project manager that were quickly corrected as soon as Chris came on board. He is on top of everything and quickly remedies issues that arise. He was an absolute joy to work with and was able to get our house back on track to completion. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do the work! Any new projects I have in the future would be through him! Thank you for making our dream house come true!"

"After a burglary to a managed building and panic to find emergency service to secure the property. I found Spiro's Home Makeover & Emergency Repairs. Spiro response was immediate and arranged a schedule for my needs and my tenants. I sent photos of the damage via email and he explained all of the options and suggested various ways to help fortified the doors and the frame to prevent future problems. His work was meticulous and professional. I would not hesitate to use his service for any emergency or remodeling."

"Eric the owner of the company came out and gave a free estimate of work to be performed. I live over an hour away from where he is located and he had no problem coming out to give the estimate. I got his name from my father that lives in the area where he lives and my dad gave great praise of the work he received and how knowledgeable he was of the work being done, he was respectful and wasn't trying to sell me anything that wasn't necessary to do to get the job done like the other company I had come out to do another estimate. After talking with him and getting the estimate I hired him to do the work. I am not disappointed by my decision to hire him, very pleased with his work and how respectful he was to my property. Did great work and cleaned up after the work was done unlike others I've had do work in my house that have left messes that I've had to clean up. I will definitely hire him if I need more work in the future and will be referring him to all my friends and neighbors. Great work Eric, thanks again."

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Costs depend on dock type, size, materials, water depth, and labor.

When deciding how big of a dock you can build, you should check with your city and state for any restrictions. Some cities won’t allow docks larger than one-fourth of the width of a body of water, while others have no restrictions at all. Gather this information when you apply for your permits so you can plan the build accordingly.

It is possible to build your own dock, especially for simpler projects like a small floating dock, provided you are an experienced DIYer. However, dock building is a complicated process, and hiring a professional is recommended for larger, more complex projects that involve installing pilings or engineering a suspension structure.

A professional dock builder will have the necessary tools and skills to set post foundations, ensure proper anchoring, and build a safe, durable structure that can withstand marine conditions for decades. They are also knowledgeable about local regulations and permitting requirements. In some areas, it is illegal for anyone without a marine construction license to build a dock. Hiring a professional helps avoid these potential legal headaches and ensures the project is completed safely and correctly.
