Dock Repair

Storm-bent, wave-worn or just old - we repair docks from the water, replace what's actually failed, and tell you straight when repair stops being smart.

Repairs we make

  • Storm and ice damage - straightening, re-piling and rebuilds
  • Decking replacement over sound framing
  • Piling replacement and sistering
  • Failing brackets, stringers and hardware swapped for marine-grade
  • Floating dock flotation restored
  • Ladders, bumpers and safety items brought back to solid

Repair or replace - the honest inspection

The question isn't whether we can fix it - almost anything can be fixed - it's whether the structure under the symptom is worth the money. We inspect from the waterline down, where docks actually fail, and give you a straight verdict: a repair price, a rebuild price, and which one we'd spend our own money on.

Good frames with tired decking are the happy case: new deck on solid bones is a fraction of replacement and looks brand new.

Common questions

Can you fix it mid-season?

Usually - most repairs run off the barge without hauling your summer plans. Safety issues jump the queue.

Is the whole dock shot if pilings are bad?

Not necessarily - individual pilings can be replaced or sistered while the structure stands. The count and pattern of failures tells the story.

Do repairs need permits?

Like-for-like repair usually rides existing approvals; expansions and rebuilds trigger review. We know the local lines and handle what's needed.

Fix it before the lake finishes it.
