"Worked directly with the owner, Chris Westfall in the new design for deck steps and perimeter fencing. Chris was very patient working with my wife and I, as our expectations kept changing. Even in the build out we were still changing the design, Chris was accommodating and his crew responded professionally to those changes. The crew worked quickly and efficiently and completely cleaned up the area upon completion. We will definitely consider him for our next project and have already referred him to three of our neighbors ."

"Darrin was great. He arrived on time and finished the job in 2 days. He did a great job installing the doors and cleaned up after himself. He was even willing to go to Lowes to exchange a door that ended up being the wrong size."

"It was worst customer service experience I have had in my life. I am not one to post bad reviews but I felt this was necessary. I called in initially. I was told I would get a call back for an evaluation that morning. That afternoon, I had not heard anything, so I had called them back. I was transferred to a guy who identified himself as the owner. After asking me about the project, he discovered that I had some knowledge about decking, and at that time, informed me "this wasn't going to work". When I explained to him my knowledge was in fact very minimal, he proceeded to tell me that there are tons of other companies that would do it, and to call someone else. He then hung up on me mid sentence. They definitely do deck repairs and replacements. I was planning on getting a full deck replacement, so it wasn't too small of a job. It is very alarming that the second I said my company does very smalls decks for people with disabilities, he froze, got emotional, and hung up."

We have used No Despair Home Repair previouslly.  As always, this project was excellently done.  This weas the biggest project Ron and his crew has done for us.  Ron does a great job of listening to what we want and then producing that result.  He makes excellent suggestions that are well worth considering.  His work aleays exceeds our expectations.  Ron is easy to work with and flexible in making any needed changes.  Ron was quick to return when it was necessary to resolve a couple minor problems.  We are already planning our next progect.  I would highly recommend No Despair Home Repair for any type of work around the house.

"It was a great experience from the start, he came into the home and showed and explained all my options I had. There was things I didn’t know that he explained completely. I was a little nervous with this being my first big project but Quinton made the process a experience that I was completely comfortable with. I would highly recommend and I will be using him again. Thanks again Quinton."

"I found My Handyman in Home Advisor. This was a small job requiring only 1 yard of concrete. Other companies could not be bothered but My Handyman gave me a great price and more importantly, did an outstanding job. I could not be happier with the results and with the professionalism of Trey and the crew he sent. The next day Trey sent a man out to remove the forms and he took extra care to pack the area with dirt where the forms were. He swept up, and did the job as if it were for his home. Great company...Their motto is "One call does it all" I would highly recommend you call them."

Dock Building FAQs

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.

Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.

The cost of repairs to your dock depends significantly on the severity and location of the damage. For minor repairs, such as replacing bumpers or patching a few cracks, you can expect to spend $100 to $800. For more extensive repairs, such as replacing decking or dock reinforcement, the cost increases to $800 to $2,000. Consult a local dock repair service to determine the estimated cost of your dock repairs.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

The cost of a new dock can range from $3,000 to $30,000, depending on the extent of the project size, location, and additional features.

For example, a boat lift can range from $1,000 to $8,000. The ladder you'll need for your dock can be anywhere from $100 to $800, not including installation. In addition, the decking you'll need for your dock can cost between $15 and $30 per square foot.
