"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

It is possible to build your own dock, especially for simpler projects like a small floating dock, provided you are an experienced DIYer. However, dock building is a complicated process, and hiring a professional is recommended for larger, more complex projects that involve installing pilings or engineering a suspension structure.

A professional dock builder will have the necessary tools and skills to set post foundations, ensure proper anchoring, and build a safe, durable structure that can withstand marine conditions for decades. They are also knowledgeable about local regulations and permitting requirements. In some areas, it is illegal for anyone without a marine construction license to build a dock. Hiring a professional helps avoid these potential legal headaches and ensures the project is completed safely and correctly.

When deciding how big of a dock you can build, you should check with your city and state for any restrictions. Some cities won’t allow docks larger than one-fourth of the width of a body of water, while others have no restrictions at all. Gather this information when you apply for your permits so you can plan the build accordingly.

Most dock builds take 1-4 weeks, depending on design, permitting, and weather conditions.

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

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.
