Mark rebuilt our dock this fall and did a great job. He handled the CAMA permitting and kept me updated on weather delays that pushed back our project. He was very responsive when I had questions and when we needed a slight change to our build.

Mark and Tommy were great to work with and did an excellent job on our dock renovation. They added pilings and a boatlift as well as relocated a couple of jet ski lifts. We also had to run a new electrical line from the house and fix a few other things — and everything was handled professionally.
Very pleased with the work done. Everything was completed quickly. Mark helped with getting needed permits and provided info for HOA approval. Work was done quickly and is beautiful.
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.

FROM THE FOUNDER
