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: What are the common signs my seawall needs immediate repairs?

• <div><p>Bulging walls, cracks in the seawall's top or side, and the appearance of a seawall &quot;pulling away&quot; 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.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my dock?

• <div><p>The most significant factor in knowing whether to repair or replace your dock is the extent of the damage and its age. If you have minor cracks on a few boards and the dock is less than 15 years old, it'll likely be worth repairing the damaged part. However, it's time to replace this essential water feature if you have significant damage, such as rotting wood in multiple areas, warps or cracks in the dock supports, or a damaged foundation.</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: 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! Great communication, they met me at the nursery and transported my trees to my house and planted them all. Will definitely use them in the future for concrete and more landscaping as we build out our backyard.

Jon A., Kris V., and Stephen H., were hard working and very professional. Despite the tight crawlspace, these guys kept a clean workspace, were in good spirits, and worked hard the entire time! I highly recommend AFS after this experience, and Iâ ll be using them again for other repairs. 10/10
