Eco Build Co. is an eco-friendly construction company that takes a responsible approach to build new structures and renovations on existing ones. We use energy-efficient materials and technics with lower carbon footprints, among many other sustainable resources including super insulation, heat recovery ventilation, combined with the latest in environmentally-friendly methodologies so our clients and city can be free of pollutants. For our clients, we build a healthier home with constant fresh air and overall more comfortable and lower utility bills. For the community, it means less waste and harmful materials introduced into our environment.

"I hired EcoBuild to work on two projects. The first project was smaller and Mike the carpenter came out and did a wonderful job. He was pleasant and you could tell he was experienced. Normally when I have a good experience, then a bad experience, reviews are balanced out. I know things happen and generally I give the company the benefit of the doubt. However, in this case, EcoBuild’s behavior and performance was so bad, nothing could bring it above 1 star. The company was hired to replace a window, install new drywall on a ceiling and wall and replace some trim. My initial project manager Jeff (who quit before everything went down hill) was responsive knowledgeable and very friendly. When Jeff left, everything started going down hill. My next project manager was Jeremy who was probably the worst person I have ever dealt with at a company in my entire life. For the weeks leading up to the project, getting a straight answer from him was impossible. I would ask him 3 or 4 questions and consider myself lucky if he half replied to one of them. In no less than 10 attempts I could never get a confirmation whether the correct window was ordered. It got so bad that just before work was to begin, I called the company and said I would cancel the project if he was my project manager any longer. Jeff came out and said Mike would take over. Mike is a nice person but very overwhelmed. I can only imagine it is due to conducting damage control for shoddy work. On the first day, the crew showed up without a window. In fact, they didn’t have any materials or even a truck to carry materials. They left for Home Depot and several hours later showed up with the materials strapped to the roof of a SUV. I was very busy with meetings that day so the crew installed the drywall and I didn’t give it a detailed look until they left. I was in shock! There wasn’t a single full sheet! They cut every piece of drywall and there were gaps that ranged between 1/2” to over 1 inch between the sheets and the walls. They actually cut the drywall around the baseboard trim rather than removing it! Clearly the crew had never hung drywall before. Ultimately, I had them remove all of the drywall; no amount of taping and muding was going to make that look good. The window was the only remaining item and I was hesitant on even having them do that work, but they agreed to send Mike (the previous carpenter) out to install it. As mentioned earlier, I still didn’t have confirmation it was the right window. The next day Mike showed up with… you guessed it Jeremy. Mike was pleasant as usual and just before demo was to begin I asked to confirm the correct window was ordered. We walked downstairs. The window was in Jermey’s truck so I walked over while Mike did something else. To my surprise, Jeremy said “stay the **** away from my truck.” That was the final straw. I asked them to leave after a very heated screaming match in the middle of the parking lot. Management Is totally inept and made no effort to reach out despite several calls and emails describing my bad experience. I suspect there must be so many that there just isn’t time to address all the complaints. I still haven’t received my money back. Not only is this company totally incompetent, but I classify them as thieves for stealing my money. At best, they must be hiring their labor off the street without any reference checks. At worst, this is their regular crew. If you want to take a risk and hire them, at least insist you make the deposit on a credit card so you can dispute it."

Dock building and repairs 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.
