Decks have become a very popular, low-cost way to add living space to a home and provide a great space to relax, entertain friends or enjoy outdoor dining. However, like all wood services, they need to be properly maintained. Because wood decks are subject to the damaging effects of weather, it is critical to have your deck cleaned and protected on a regular basis. A poorly maintained deck quickly turns grey in color as it deteriorates due to dirt, mold and algae, gradually tearing apart the surface of the wood. Soon splinters will form, creating a rougher surface even more inviting to dirt and grime. We also offer a sanding process like no other company, removing old paints and stains.

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Rotting wood, loose boards, rusted fasteners, and damaged pilings often require repair to maintain safety and functionality.

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.

The average cost of a new dock piling is $950, including the labor to install it. Dock piling costs can range from $300 to $1,600. You can save money by trying to repair a damaged piling instead of replacing it. On average, repairing a boat dock piling costs $450, with prices ranging between $200 and $700.

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