"They did an exceptional job.  From start to finish I was completely impressed with Chris.  They did a phenomenal job and in labor I paid less than $2000 to do the work.  They started approximately on January 23rd.  Chris is coming back in August to build me a bathroom down here and he's also going to close off my laundry room.  I spent less than $2000 in labor only and that has nothing to do with the materials.  I wanted to buy my own material because I wanted to get my gas free."

Dock Building and Repair FAQs, 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.

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.

You will likely need a permit to build a new dock or add to an existing one, especially if it's a permanent structure. Permit requirements vary by location, as they are typically set by local municipalities, counties, or cities rather than states. You should check with your local government or building department to determine what paperwork is required before you begin. In many areas, you may need multiple permits, including general construction permits and those designed to protect local marine life. Additionally, if you are part of a homeowner's association (HOA), they may have their own rules regarding docks, such as minimum distances between neighboring docks. It's best to check with all relevant authorities (city, county, HOA) to ensure you are in compliance. A professional dock builder can often handle the permit-pulling process for you.

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.
