"Hagen did an AWESOME job replacing the deck. I requested four quotes, and Hagen was the first to respond by calling me and stopping by that afternoon. He provided a quote that night and was able to fit me in for the upcoming weekend, given that our timeline was very short. He demolished the deck, hauled everything away, leaving the area clean. He then framed the deck and on Day 2, finished it - just as he promised. It looks so good and several neighbors have said the same. Highly recommend Hagen at Rugged General Contracting, LLC. Best price, quality workmanship."

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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