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 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>

Q: Do repairs include replacing flotation devices?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can replace damaged flotation devices to maintain proper dock buoyancy.</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>
