"Wayne was the first to respond to a request for estimating repair of my enclosed porch. The walls had deteriorated over time and one had blown in during a winter storm. He suggested that I replace the walls with an open railing porch, which was a huge cost savings. After I gave him a deposit, he came with his crew the following week and completed the tear-down and build in less than a day. I couldn't be more pleased; my neighbors and friends have commented on how nice the new porch looks, and adds to the appearance of the house and property. Wayne is quick, efficient and affordable. I would recommend him."

"Start was very good, but it is still going on for more than 6 months. It may take another month to complete our project because of ill management on their part. I've got very good recommendation from three references, but it was not the case for us, unfortunately."

"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.

"He fixed our chandelier in no time at all. There was a miscommunication on when he was to be at our home-I understood he was to be there the day before but contacted us and came the following day. Once he did come he did a great job!"

"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

Building a dock is a complicated and time-intensive project, so professional builders typically take several weeks or several months to complete dock construction. Smaller docks in relatively shallow water may take two to four weeks to complete, while large or ornate docks in deep water could take up to six months. The timeline depends on the size and type of dock you want, the weather conditions in your area, and how ornate the construction needs to be. Your dock builder should give you an estimated timeline for construction along with your quote.

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

Cedar wood is the best choice for a hardwood dock, as it is rot-resistant and does well in the water. Pressure-treated pine and spruce are two other solid options. Alternately, composite or waterproof plastic are materials commonly used for docks, and are frequently used in prefabricated kits.

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.

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.
