"They said it would be a 3 day job. The first day they were there for 90 minutes. The second day they didn't show at all. The third they were there for 5 hours. Because they were so far behind and in a hurry to finish they pretty much threw the shower in, it doesn't align and they lied to my husband and said the shower door only could be installed one way, when in fact it would work opening to the left or the right. Then they asked for more money because the job took longer than expected."

"The work proceeded smoothly and professionally. When Foreman was installing vent, he informed me that my roof had incurred a great deal of wind damage form Hurricane Harvey which consisted of roof and foundation and water damage to my home. They wrote up multiple copy estimate of what it would cost to completely repair my home. Met with Insurance Claims adjuster, and repairs will begin within two weeks. AS the insurance company required an engineer report, which was provided by Locke-Star Inc. I am very happy with these people and their work and work ethic. After dealing with crooks, thieves and con-men who have taken the money and run. It is nice to finally encounter a professional. c"

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Regularly inspect for structural issues, clean debris, and apply sealant to protect from water damage.

Minor repairs like replacing boards can be DIY-friendly, but structural or underwater repairs require professional expertise.

The average cost of a new dock piling is $950, including the labor to install it. Dock piling costs can range from $300 to $1,600. You can save money by trying to repair a damaged piling instead of replacing it. On average, repairing a boat dock piling costs $450, with prices ranging between $200 and $700.
