Do dock builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> 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.</p></div>

Jared is courteous, responsive, smart and conscientious. Most important, he did the job of grading and repairing our driveway well, all in a timely manner. I’d definitely hire him again. Excellent.

I've used RN construction many times for multiple jobs from minor repairs to major multiple room renovations. They are honest, carefully and very good craftsman. They never fail to communicate and respond quickly. I'm currently using them to renovate a new space for my business.

Hurley came an hour after we connected by phone for a diagnostic visit and ended up fixing our system on the spot. Terry was extra professional and neat, putting booties on his shoes to come inside. And he explained things better and more clearly than previous repair companies we used.
