"Unfortunately, our experience with Ocean City mirrors the bad experiences described in other reviews. We contracted to have a $14,000 jet ski lift built and suffered from extremely poor service and significant delays. In summary, the issues we faced are as follows: 1) After OC promised a 30 day delivery schedule, OC took over 90 days to deliver the lifts. 2) OC demanded an exorbitant $10,000 deposit, over 70% of the contract price, which tied up this money for over 90 days, knowing that they were not going to abide by their promised 30 day schedule. 3) OC’s employees were completely non responsive to our queries throughout the delay. 4) When they did communicate, OC provided false information as to when installation would occur. 5) Once OC received the lifts from the manufacturer, there was further delay in installation and OC failed to timely communicate with us about the planned installation. After the problems described above, the installation itself was poor. They installed the lifts knowing that there was not enough power to operate them safely and the lifts could not run reliably. When the electrical fuse tripped, rendering the lifts inoperable, they refused to address the problem. In sum, OC’s extremely poor service caused us to incur additional costs, lose interest income on tens of thousands of dollars (between new jet skis and lift deposit) and a lot of wasted time on our part. Fortunately, we found Chesapeake Boat Lifts, also on the Eastern Shore, who are much better to deal with and will get our business in the future."

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.
Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.
The cost of repairs to your dock depends significantly on the severity and location of the damage. For minor repairs, such as replacing bumpers or patching a few cracks, you can expect to spend $100 to $800. For more extensive repairs, such as replacing decking or dock reinforcement, the cost increases to $800 to $2,000. Consult a local dock repair service to determine the estimated cost of your dock repairs.
Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months.
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.
