"MC Fence & Deck built my dream deck, and I’m obsessed! Hunter walked me through the design, and his ideas made it way better than my original plan. John and his crew handled everything. Build and add an aluminum fence around the yard. They were professional and on time, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Now my whole backyard looks like a magazine spread. I highly recommend these guys for decks and fencing. They’re the best in the business!"

"I contracted with Quality Improvements to build a large deck. The build site is on rough sloping terrain. Mr Mariano Siles oversaw the project and in fact did most of the work. He was very personable and patient in explaining to me the challenges and his proposed solutions. His exceptional attention to detail resulted in a beautiful 400sf deck built to code and absolutely level. I would enthusiastically recommend Quality Improvements to anyone."

"Very pleasant experience. I was referred to them by a neighbor who had a fireplace and patio done by them. They were all friendly and worked very hard. They kept the area clean everyday. Throughout the job the project manager made sure I was happy with each phase of job and was lenient about changes. Very customer service oriented company. Would recommend them and will continue to add to my beautiful patio."

"After we had such a positive experience with Walter Castillo's work building our Arts and Crafts style niche with stained glass inserts in the doors for our great room, we asked Walter to give us a quote on building the cabinets for our tiny laundry room. We had just purchased and installed and new stackable washer and dryer and needed custom-fit lower, upper, and full-length cabinets in the remaining space in our laundry room. We also wanted a granite countertop installed, which Walter does not do himself, but was done with another company that he recommended that specializes in granite. Walter gave us a quote, which we negotiated to $3,000. We selected the style to be Shaker style outer doors and solid cherry wood. He took the measurements and we discussed some tricky areas and were happy with the design. The full-length cabinet was in two sections--one to fit the electric floor cleaner and one below to fit the canister vacuum. The other cabinets were to be used as a pantry with storage shelves throughout. When he returned a couple of weeks later and began installation, we noticed that the doors were not Shaker style but had been cut with the recess mitered and slanted instead of blunt cut and the recessed portion squared. He said his crew had not cut the doors as he had requested and took everything back to be recut. He was back the next day with the correctly cut doors. The installation had some tricky issues that were resolved easily. We went with him to his friend's granite shop and selected a perfect piece of 2" thick ubatuba (black with flecks) granite. Since it was a small piece from a damaged counter, we got it for $150. The granite company had done the measurements, so was responsible to redo it when the first attempt didn't fit. They had to totally recut our piece. The second attempt was perfect. The cabinets looked wonderful, except for a long door on the full-length cabinet ended up being very slightly warped.and askew, which bothers us but probably no one else notices. This was caused, according to Walter, by the solid wood construction of the door and its length. He said he would return to fix it and install the hardware, but never has. We are happy with the overall work, though, but would like to have this one little anomaly corrected. Walter still gets high marks from us."

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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 contractor licensing tool 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.

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

Costs depend on dock type, size, materials, water depth, and labor.

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.
