"Recently we replaced our screened in porch and we are so glad to have had Marc and his crew on this project. We were referred to Homecraft Builders by friends who recently used the company to build a deck. Initially we were going to replace the existing structure but after reviewing options with Marc we decided to add an additional open area to the porch. Marc was “hands on” from our initial estimate and through the project. We appreciate that Marc walked us through the different stages of the project (tear down, rebuild, roofing) and was very communicative on how the crew was completing work. When decisions needed to be made on the job (where to put new stairs, fan installation), Marc walked us through the different options to ensure the finished product would meet our needs. We feel we made the right decision choosing Homecraft for the work and would recommend their services."

"We are writing to share the great experience we had with LeonPro who we hired to build an enclosed deck at our house in Rockville. They handled all aspects of the project, including collaborating on the design, obtaining a permit, acquiring the materials, demolishing our old deck, and building the new one. We were impressed by how easy it was to communicate with Otari (the owner) and the construction crew. They were great at addressing our concerns and were flexible with the changes we wanted to make during construction. The construction crew were punctual (they even showed up when it snowed!), hard-working (worked from the moment they arrived until it got dark), communicative (we had the foreman's cell phone number and he would call/text whenever there was an issue), and well-informed (they made recommendations for additional features and were receptive to our questions/comments). They also cleaned up everyday before leaving for the day and kept the area looking neat. The quality of their work is impeccable and we truly feel that no shortcuts were made in completing the work. We are thrilled with the end result and would whole-heartedly recommend Deck Solder/LeonPro to anyone looking for a home-improvement contractor. We plan to use them in the near future to build a patio to complement the new deck."

"It went very well! Their responsiveness to schedule was a little slow, but once they scheduled timing was punctual! They were able to replace a break-in broken door jamb and repair drywall around moulding. Quick, fast and efficient. I would hire again."

"This company is reliable, professional, and they do great work. Within a week of making initial contact with them, they sent someone to do a written estimate, scheduled the team to repair our roof, and the work was completed. Everyone was very pleasant to work with - the scheduler, the person who did the estimate, and the repair team - I will definitely hire them again for our next repair project."

"We had lost some of the parts and they very graciously handled it and completed the work beautifully. Brent and Travis were easy to work with and went about their work professionally. They worked until the job was done correctly and made sure that we were satisfied with the work. In the future we will contact them before we botch up the job.

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:

  • Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.

  • Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.

  • Can you enclose the dock? Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.

  • Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.

You will likely need a permit to build a new dock or add to an existing one, especially if it's a permanent structure. Permit requirements vary by location, as they are typically set by local municipalities, counties, or cities rather than states. You should check with your local government or building department to determine what paperwork is required before you begin. In many areas, you may need multiple permits, including general construction permits and those designed to protect local marine life. Additionally, if you are part of a homeowner's association (HOA), they may have their own rules regarding docks, such as minimum distances between neighboring docks. It's best to check with all relevant authorities (city, county, HOA) to ensure you are in compliance. A professional dock builder can often handle the permit-pulling process for you.

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

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.

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.
