The job is only done when it's done right, it's not only common courtesy, it's common sense.

"TERRIBLE PEIPLE TO WORK WITH. IM OUT $50. It took about 2 weeks to get Brian out to give me an estimate. At that time, he told me he charges $50 for an estimate which goes towards the work if he’s hired. He’d not mentioned that before and it was a red flag but I gave him the $50 and he said he’d be back on 7/19. I texted him the day before to confirm and he didn’t respond. So I texted again that evening and the text wouldn’t deliver. I called and a msg said I was calling from a restricted number, he blocked me! I called Cameron the next morning and explained what happened and he said he was trying to reach Brian as well. He told me he’d come out and do the work and would call me back with some options of when he could come. Four days have passed and no call back. I’ve tried calling again and his mailbox is full. TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BIZ!!"

With over 30 years experience and a knowledgeable staff, D.K. Construction can tackle any project big or small while providing cost effective service, speed and amazing results!

"We’ve had the pleasure of working with DK Construction on multiple projects since 2013 on Lake Mac. Steve K., Steve M., Lewis A., Lindsey H., the riggers, the carpenters – from the top down are top notch. Knowledgeable, accommodating, courteous, and professional. My expectations are exceeded in every way, with everything they do. Since 2013, they’ve installed (and maintained) my dock, dock extension, permanent lift, piers, decking, etc. Their attention to detail is amazing, and the finished deck is a work of art. After adding the dock extension this winter, I had DK replace every piece of wood decking and fenders. The crews removed and replaced every cleat, agitator mount, water and electrical connection, thermostats, steps, etc. flawlessly. And when they left, not one piece of debris was remaining. Everything was clean! This is even more amazing considering most of the work was done over the winter in adverse conditions (not interfering with boating season). Our dock may not be the biggest dock on the lake, but it is one of the nicest!! As others have stated, DK is absolutely the go-to source and a company you can trust. Always an enjoyable experience working with Steve!!"

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals can replace damaged flotation devices to maintain proper dock buoyancy.

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.

Minor repairs like replacing boards can be DIY-friendly, but structural or underwater repairs require professional expertise.

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.

Regularly inspect for structural issues, clean debris, and apply sealant to protect from water damage.
