- 01
Restore
Worn decking, soft framing, tired floats, loose connections. We document the condition, put the scope in writing, and bring the dock back to sound use.
- 02
Annual Dock Check
One visit a year before storm season, a written condition report with photos, and small fixes done on the spot.
- 03
Replace

Put it in writing
Scope, materials, hardware, price and schedule, in writing, before any work.
03
Show up as agreed
If weather or access changes the plan, you hear it from us first.
04
Say when it changes
Anything we find once the work is open is shown to you and approved before we proceed.
05
Walk it through
We review the finished scope with you, on the dock, before we call it done.
The people on your dock may change as we grow. The standard does not.

A family company
It is a family company in the ordinary sense: the people whose name is on the truck are the people accountable for the work. Anthony founded it and wrote the standard every job follows.
