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: Should I repair or replace my dock?

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>

Nickie was great on the phone. She helped me work through my plumbing needs and scheduling. Being personable is very important to me when I am dealing with home repair issues. There was also an issue with my misunderstanding on a bill, and they dismissed it. I will use them again. Thanks!

Could not have gone better! Steve arrived on time and did the job perfectly. I was very happy with his work, and his friendly nature. Before he even left I hired him to do some concrete/masonry repair (which I will describe in a second review)

Brandon Turner did some roof repair work for us in 2017. We now have multiple ceiling leaks. We tried multiple times to contact him about our concerns and he would not respond. Think twice about hiring this company to do any work for you.

They have a lovely facility on a wooded lot. The entire building is fenced in, and there are some open kennels that the dogs take turns in for out door playtime. There's a fenced in grassy lot for supervised play. The grooming job they did on my shaggy little Sheltie was outstanding.

Removed 6 or 7 trees for my wife and I plus removed all stumps. Went well with no damage to buildings. All in all pretty good experience other than the yard got tore up more than I expected. Ron's pricing was very reasonable for all that his crew did.

Before D and R repair starts fixing anything, they call you and let you know the price so you aren't surprised with an outrageous bill. Unfortunately my repair was going to be expensive, because I need a new transmission in my truck. They told me I was better off trading it in somewhere then...

Getting the quote and the work done went very good. However after the windows have been in for a while we have had one pane crack and we can't get any response from Bee to come and repair. They won't even return our calls. The work was done at 304 Redwood Court in Kokomo.
