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>

Len did a great job with our deck. He was very professional and took the time to listen to my deck design ideas. He and his staff completed the project on time. The quote for the project was reasonable. Based on my experience I would recommend Len for installing and/or deck repair projects

This company put in a new roof years ago. Owner was the best. New people took over - paid them $900 for repairs, still having problems. Never returned my call in last storm, left me hanging with a big problem of water coming in. Doesn't take care of his customers. Hired a new roofer.
