"Wayne and company did a quick and excellent job. I’ve had my deck through the winter now with a hot tub on top and everything is holding up as expected. I needed to make a modification and Wayne is still being helpful."

"An eight foot section of PVC fence was taken down buy a very large branch. He was able to repair it to like new condition. I sent him many pictures with dimensions and he was able to put it back together without having to replace it with a new panel. The fence I had was a discontinued style. He saved me money and didn't have to replace it with something that would not match. I'd recommend him to anyone.

"I reached out to Chris through Angie's list. He came out to our home shortly thereafter to assess the situation (water entering the garage). Upon inspection of the roof, Chris advised that the roof above the garage was structurally compromised and that the most appropriate solution would be to replace the compromised roof shingles. I asked Chris to also replace the section of drywall on the interior of the garage that had been damaged by the entering water. Chris provided an estimate for these services, which seemed very fair. I did a bit more research over the next few weeks before calling Chris back and engaging his services. Once I did, Chris provided a detailed explanation of the work he planned to perform and the timeline for completion. Due to inclement weather, Chris did (understandably) have to delay the roof repair services. However, as soon as the weather cleared (about a week later), Chris called to reschedule. His crew was out the next day and they were able to complete the roof work that same day. The roof looks really good. They did a great job matching it to the existing roof and it looks fantastic. The next day Chris came back out to our home to perform the drywall repair. Again, the work done was very clean and impressive. Chris and his entire team were very prompt and extremely professional during all of our interactions. My wife also shared that Chris and his team were very respectful to her and professional throughout the process. Thank you for that! We are very happy customers and very impressed with Chris and the entire TCB Interiors team. I will surely call upon Chris again in the future."

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.

The length your dock can be will differ greatly depending on your location. Some localities will have rules; for example, some areas won't allow you to build a dock that is more than one-fourth of the width of a body of water. Other areas won't have any rules on length at all.

Common features in lakefront landscaping projects include native and water-tolerant plants, stone paths, docks or piers, seating areas, and erosion control solutions to create a harmonious integration with the waterfront setting.

If you don’t want to rely on an anchor on land, you can also build dock posts. You’ll need to rent a water jet to blow out sand and silt from the lake floor in order to place the posts; it’s a complicated task that is best left to a professional.

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.
