"Matt was professional, arrived on time, and gave a fair price for all work performed. He performed the entire job (dry wall installation, trim repair, and painting) himself. He communicated well throughout the process and was happy to explain any work he did. He says he won't do anything that he wouldn't do in his own home, and cares about the customer's happiness over getting the job done quick."

"Everything went perfectly. Noa was extremely attentive to my needs from the start and came in with a very fair and reasonable price. Once we agreed to terms, he and his crew arrived at my home on time and work tirelessly until the job was complete. Noa also followed up after the work was performed to ensure I was satisfied with the quality and end product. I would absolutely use Noa again and plan to for any future projects. One of the nicest, most fair and honest contractors/maintenance workers I have ever met!"

"It went great! No drips or mess. The door looks beautiful! I wouldn't expect anything less from Justin. He's very meticulous. I have him in my phone whenever I need anything done. When he was here before, he painted the exterior of my front entry door. Beautiful! He and his team repaired a section of deck railing. Great job!"

Dock Building and Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Common choices include pressure-treated wood, composite decking, and aluminum for durability and low maintenance.

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.

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 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.
