Do dock builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: How long does water dock repair take?

• <div><p>Most dock repairs take 1-5 days, depending on the extent of the damage and weather conditions affecting the work schedule.</p></div>

Q: Should you repair a seawall and boat dock at the same time?

• <div><p>If your boat dock and seawall appear to be failing at the same time, taking on the projects together may be easier from a permitting perspective. By doing a big project, you can ensure that everything in your property is safe and up to code. Depending on the size and condition of your boat dock, average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/boat-dock-repair-cost.htm">boat dock repair cost</a> can range from <b>$834 to $5,432</b>.</p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of a dock?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair a water dock myself?

• <div><p>Minor repairs like replacing boards can be DIY-friendly, but structural or underwater repairs require professional expertise.</p></div>

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

Inspection and repairs were done within a day. They were quick and straightforward with costs. Quite a busy place with lots of traffic going in and out. Kind of a rush, rush type of atmosphere there, which could be good or bad. Overall, seems like I would return for repeat work.
