"John and his crew were great to work with. We had a couple of "tweeks" that we had done (based on things we hadn't thought of initially) and they came and did everything we asked. Very professional company that I would recommend to anyone needing a new dock or repair!"

"Great. They were respectful, responded to all of my questions and issues. I initially purchased the deal they had on Angie's list and cancelled it when I didn't get a call back. They eventually reached out to me and apologized for the delay explaining that the weather had put them behind. I was very happy with their work and responsiveness when they were able to work with me."

"Jim was very responsive to my concerns. He was prompt, courteous, and I completely trusted him and his team in my home. They were respectful and professional. I was always kept in the loop, which was huge given that I work full time. Of the contractors I contacted, he was the only one who came with creative ideas to solve my issues. He loves to remodel and it is hard to find a good contractor that doesn't want the "bigger" job all the time. He was interested in making my home "work" for me. He included me every step of the way and and never acted put out by my questions (and I had a lot!). He is very fair and honest. I knew when and what he would be doing every day. If there was an issue regarding a subcontractor, he took care of it immediately. I never had to worry."

Dock Building and Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Most dock builds take 1-4 weeks, depending on design, permitting, and weather conditions.

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.

To maintain a dock, perform regular inspections for structural issues, clean away debris, and apply a sealant to wood components. This protects the dock from water damage and prevents premature wear and structural damage.

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