"Scott above and beyaond what I expected. Actually the last long day to finish he came by himself and made sure it was as promised. he had some challenges, weather, bee sting, driving time, and a few other problems. We did not make a time to be complete and I am glad, beacuse of all that happened. Our home is now a show place in our community, thanks to Scott and his crew."

More than your average handyman. If it involves power tools or a hammer and nails, I'm your guy. Growing up I wanted to be an artist, but I cant draw to save my life! Lol I am just now starting to realize that this is a form of art, and I love it. I love seeing what was, and turning it into something new. I love going home from work tired after a long day, and I absolutely love seeing the look on a homeowner's face when they see a job well done! I pay attention to detail, work hard, and take pride in what I do! 5 years of experience as a skilled laborer, but I've known my way around a toolbox since I was about 12 years old. New to working for myself but I learn quickly! Thank you for your time, look forward to doing business with you.

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:

  • Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.

  • Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.

  • Can you enclose the dock? Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.

  • Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.

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 choices include pressure-treated wood, composite decking, and aluminum for durability and low maintenance.

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.
