"At the last moment we had a plumbing project come up and Mike took care of it without any problems as well repairing our exterior doors and one interior door. Mike's prices are very reasonable and he gave us a written estimate before starting the work. Mike was able to work around our schedule and that we greatly appreciated ."

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.

The cost to build a new dock can range widely, typically from $5,000 to $65,000, with an average cost around $15,500. The final price depends on several key factors, including the dock's size, the materials used, the complexity of the installation, the depth of the water, the type of dock being built, and whether it is in fresh or salt water.

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

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.

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.
