Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a dock?

Dock pricing can vary depending on framing type, decking material and any options selected. However, we work within any budget for our clients.

What framing types do you offer?

We offer wood framed docks and steel frame docks.

What type of decking material do you offer?

We offer PVC decking and porcelain tile.

Is porcelain tile slippery?

Not ours! We’ve acquired marine grade porcelain tile designed with traction in mind. The wetter it gets, the better it grips!

Do I have to get railings?

If your design has a fun deck, yes, you will need railings. If your design is one “floor”, no, railings are optional. Our team ensures we meet all building codes.

How long does it take to build a dock?

Our building process is relatively quick once we have permits.

How long do permits take?

The permitting process can be stringent and the longest part of your project, but we need to do things right! Permits can take 60-120 days.

How do I get started?

Once you give us a call, a Relationship Manager will contact you to gather all necessary information and go over the entire process of your project.
