When you have an issue with your house, no matter how small, it often stays in the back of your mind making you less comfortable in your own home. Tacking these subtle stressors for you is often where I feel most at home. I have experience in the twin cities as a remodeler and in the greater Hartford area as a residential handyman. If you ever need a local handyman please do not hesitate to reach out :) No job is too small or insignificant. I love seeing homeowner's dreams become a reality whether it be a fully-fledged remodel or a small yet meaningful renovation. Projects I have tackled for clients (To name a few). - Decks - Flowerboxes - Light Electrical - Interior Wall Construction - Drywall Repair and Install - Wooden Gates and Fences - Door Installation (Exterior and Interior) - Painting (Interior) - Trim (Interior and Exterior) - And an Amalgomy of Odd Jobs! I am so blessed to have the opportunity to use my passion and experience to help my community. I love how every client brings a unique perspective to each project. During my projects, I often not only gain new experiences but also get to make some new friends :) Please do not hesitate to let me know how I can best be of service to you. Thank you for your time!

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.
