OUR APPROACH
The Full-Probe Structural Inspection
Before quoting any repair, we probe every piling and tap every board to map the hidden damage — not just the visible rot. Most dock failures we fix started with invisible stringer decay that a surface inspection missed.

Dock Repairs done right is invisible — it just works through the next storm and the next ten tides. That's the standard.
FAQ
Questions about dock repairs
>
How fast can you start?
Most repairs start within two to three weeks of estimate sign-off. Storm-damage emergencies move to the front.
>
Should I repair or replace?
If more than 40% of the framing or pilings are compromised, replacement usually costs less per year than chasing repairs. We tell you the truth either way.
>
Do you work with insurance?
Yes. We provide written scopes, photos, and material lists that adjusters can process directly.
