"We had a 6 ft wooden fence replaced with an 8 ft wooden fence. We also had an existing wooden gate eliminated. My husband and I are more than satisfied with the job "Edge Residential Service" performed. The company is owned by a wonderful man, Nathan, who is the perfect mix of professional and personable. The job was performed quickly with considerable care. Nathan wanted to make sure I'd love our new fence and I do! He and his staff were on time each day and they were extremely considerate of our home. I've already referred him to a guy who delivered furniture at our home. If anyone asks who did our fence I will shout "Edge Residential Service!" They offer good, quality work, are on time, and clean up in an excellent manner! If I need anything else done I'll call Nathan for sure!"

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Most dock builds take 1-4 weeks, depending on design, permitting, and weather conditions.

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.

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.
