"The owner Chris was very easy to deal with, his professionalism and ease of communication is top notch. We had a fence that was leaning and need a few new post placed. Understanding that the fence probably needed replaced, Chris and his team were able to straighten fence out the best that it could be. We also had front gate totally replaced. Chris and his crew, completed the job in one day. This was definitely a plus considering the need for closed in yard due to our dogs. Let’s just say the response was amazing - I contact about 15 fence companies with on 3 responses. Chris was very easy to work with and we would definitely hire him for additional projects. "

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.

Bulging walls, cracks in the seawall's top or side, and the appearance of a seawall "pulling away" are all signs that you need repairs or reconstruction. The area around the seawall can also provide clues. For instance, you may notice water bubbling over in areas of your yard if your seawall has holes or cracks. The soil around the seawall may also appear to be sloping or sinking.

Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.

Yes, professionals can replace damaged flotation devices to maintain proper dock buoyancy.

Regularly inspect for structural issues, clean debris, and apply sealant to protect from water damage.
