"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

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.

Costs depend on dock type, size, materials, water depth, and labor.

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.

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.

To maintain a dock, perform regular inspections for structural issues, clean away debris, and apply a sealant to wood components. This protects the dock from water damage and prevents premature wear and structural damage.
