"Mike has worked on three homes for me. (There wasn't a category for "additions" but that's what he has done). He has done projects for me for over 20 years and is creative, hardworking and has fabulous results. He built a basement and bedroom wing on a chalet and on our cottage he has done bedroom and TV room additions and a huge new screened in porch. They are all perfect! He is fair in his pricing and innovative in his approach in preserving the charm of a very old cottage. He is open to suggestions and easy to work with. He is willing to take on both large and small jobs. and go the extra mile. I give him the highest recommendation."

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.

If you don’t want to rely on an anchor on land, you can also build dock posts. You’ll need to rent a water jet to blow out sand and silt from the lake floor in order to place the posts; it’s a complicated task that is best left to a professional.

When deciding how big of a dock you can build, you should check with your city and state for any restrictions. Some cities won’t allow docks larger than one-fourth of the width of a body of water, while others have no restrictions at all. Gather this information when you apply for your permits so you can plan the build accordingly.

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

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