What other things should I consider before building a dock?

• <div><p>Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:</p><ul><li><p><b>Are you damaging the environment?</b> Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.</p></li><li><p><b>Are you blocking access? </b>Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.</p></li><li><p><b>Can you enclose the dock? </b>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.</p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines?</b> 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.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my dock?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

"Hiring this guy Joshua was a complete waste of time and effort. He promised to come 3 times and gave excuses every time as to why he could'nt. I'm sick, flat tire, ran out of gas etc... Finally when he came and was almost done I paid him for the fall clean up and a cord of wood, he left to go get the wood and was never seen from again. Texted back and forth for about a month, nothing but excuses, never finished job I paid him for. Then said he was going to send me money back and never did. Said through text that the reason he didnt is because i didnt talk to him with respect, this is after about 20 excuses, not sure what he expected. He then proceeded to challenge me to come to his house and try to physically take my money back LOL. This guy is a real professional. I wish I would have read the other reviews before I hired him."
