"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

The cost to build a new dock can range widely, typically from $5,000 to $65,000, with an average cost around $15,500. The final price depends on several key factors, including the dock's size, the materials used, the complexity of the installation, the depth of the water, the type of dock being built, and whether it is in fresh or salt water.

Yes, many professionals handle necessary permits to ensure legal compliance.
