"They noted many items not actually structural to point out. Like siding, an oil tank etc. I was told before hiring them they could give me pricing estimates. But then after I hired them and got the write up they couldnâ t give me pricing because they said I needed to hire a contractor? So I felt a little scammed out of my $500 I gave them honestly. I wonâ t be hiring for structure repair."

"Henry and his guys were great. They replaced an external door going out to a deck that had become rotted. Henry was very responsive throughout the entire process via email, phone and text. He arrived for the initial estimate on time, his workers showed up the day of the repair early and were done within a few hours. Work quality is excellent and they left the area spotless. I would highly recommend!"

"Liam was great to work with from beginning to end. He is prompt at returning calls and communicated each step in the repair process. I had massive damage caused by a water leak that lead to the replacement/fix of ceiling, garage, cabinets, paint, dry wall, floors, crown moulding, etc. Liam took care of it all and was extremely prompt. I was anxious to have the repairs completed quickly and his team was able to start each morning by 7a. His team did amazing work!"

"Micah and Jim did a great job on my front foyer. I live in an old house built in 1800's and wanted to perserve the original wood. Jim was able to accomplish this. Great Carpenter."

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

The length your dock can be will differ greatly depending on your location. Some localities will have rules; for example, some areas won't allow you to build a dock that is more than one-fourth of the width of a body of water. Other areas won't have any rules on length at all.

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.

The most significant factor in knowing whether to repair or replace your dock is the extent of the damage and its age. 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.

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.

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.
