"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."

"Mr. Adam Martin who was very personable and humble, and his "Team" of highly professionally trained workers, worked tirelessly the entire day to do the install right. They removed all old materials, repair damaged part of the roof and gave special attention to detail. The Army has a saying "Second to None"!. Xpress' estimate of material was very accurate with minimal waste. Xpress provided a satellite certified roof footage report that was very accurate. Adam personally walked me through all the numbers adding up the the amount of squares required to complete the nearly 4,000 ft roof with 17 pitches and valleys. One crazy roof. Very accurate on underlining materials. If your looking for a roofing professionals look no further..! I would highly recommend Xpress, Parkville, Md to anyone looking for a Great hard working Team of Workers. Don, Pasadena, Md"

"The salesman Calvin was very knowledgeble and work hard to give me a great deal for the drywall repair I needed from water damage from the big snow storm we had a few months back. However, Dan who actually did the work was very impressive. He was courteous, on time, answer questions and completed the work early. My wife is especially happy. Thanks again Dan for your great work!. I strongly recommend Jerry's Handyman and definately will use them again."

"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.

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.

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.

The cost to build a new dock can range widely, typically from $5,000 to $65,000, with an average cost around $15,500. The final price depends on several key factors, including the dock's size, the materials used, the complexity of the installation, the depth of the water, the type of dock being built, and whether it is in fresh or salt water.

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.
