How often do boat docks need maintenance?

• <div><p>Boat docks need maintenance every year. Get an inspection at the end of each warm weather season, and remove the dock from the water if possible (if it’s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.</p></div>

Do dock builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: How long does water dock repair take?

• <div><p>Most dock repairs take 1-5 days, depending on the extent of the damage and weather conditions affecting the work schedule.</p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of a dock?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.</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>

I've used Andrew's services multiple times. The quality of his work is unsurpassed. He is very responsive and professional and very easy to work with. I called in the morning, dropped the chair off that day and picked it up, fully repaired, at the end of the day. Outstanding service!
