"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."

"Carlo and his team built a retaining wall for us, to create a new parking area for our camper van, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. It was a tricky project as it was built on a steep bank. Not only did they build a beautiful looking wall, their professionalism, and attention to detail were first class. Carlo was careful to update us throughout the project and explain exactly what they were doing and why. We will definitely be hiring CF Masonry again."

They have faced old house challenges of repairing old walls and doors and they are experienced enough to handle all the curveballs. Their work is very excellent and I would recommend them for any size job- big or small."

"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!"

"We hired Lexington Light Construction to repair our unstable deck and replace the flooring/railings and I cannot recommend them enough. Very fair pricing and the work was top notch. Micah and his team are extremely professional and hard working. Can't wait to do business with them again in the future!"

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.

To maintain a dock, perform regular inspections for structural issues, clean away debris, and apply a sealant to wood components. This protects the dock from water damage and prevents premature wear and structural damage.

Cedar wood is the best choice for a hardwood dock, as it is rot-resistant and does well in the water. Pressure-treated pine and spruce are two other solid options. Alternately, composite or waterproof plastic are materials commonly used for docks, and are frequently used in prefabricated kits.

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.

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.
