Board replacement, piling repair, decking refresh, frame work, and full structural rebuilds. We also handle storm damage and insurance documentation across Tampa Bay. Repairs from $500 to $20,000+ depending on scope.
Tampa Bay is hard on wood. Salt, tides, hurricane wind loads, marine borers, and afternoon thunderstorms wear docks down faster here than almost anywhere in the country. Most docks need some level of repair every 4-7 years and a major refurbishment around the 15-year mark.
We repair just about anything you can do to a dock: replace splintered or cupped deck boards, sister or replace damaged stringers, wrap or replace pilings, swap out hardware, rebuild gangways and step landings, fix wobbly handrails, and document and rebuild storm damage for insurance claims.
If your dock took hurricane damage, the most important thing you can do before you touch anything is take photos — wide shots showing the property, close-ups of every damaged component, and time-stamped images if possible. Then call us. We'll come document everything to insurance-claim standards, provide a written estimate that adjusters accept, and (when you're ready) handle the rebuild.
We've worked dozens of major storm claims through Hillsborough and Pinellas County going back to Irma in 2017 — Idalia, Ian, Helene, and Milton most recently. We know what adjusters look for and we don't pad estimates.
Active storm damage? Call us at . We do emergency assessments 24/7 during storm season and we can usually be on site within 48-72 hours after a named storm.
A lot of Tampa Bay dock repair calls turn into rebuild conversations. The usual tipping point: when more than 40% of the structure (pilings + stringers + deck) needs replacement, a full rebuild is usually cheaper and gets you a new 30-year warranty instead of patching a 20-year-old structure.
We tell every customer the truth here. If your dock is fixable for less than 40% of replacement cost and the structural bones are sound, we'll repair it. If it's past that line, we'll explain why a rebuild makes more sense and quote both options so you can decide.
Most cosmetic repairs (deck boards, hardware, rail work) don't require permits in Tampa Bay. Structural repairs (pilings, stringers, framework) and any work in or below the water typically do. Full rebuilds always do. We handle permitting in-house at no extra cost when it's needed.
Repair pricing is the most variable thing we quote because the work varies so much. Common ballparks: deck board replacement $40-$70 per linear foot, piling wrap $300-$500 per piling, piling replacement $500-$800 per piling, full re-deck of a 4×60 dock $4,000-$8,000. Storm damage rebuilds run $5,000 to $40,000+ depending on scope.
We do dock repair work across all of Tampa Bay. Most common service areas: Tampa, Davis Islands, Apollo Beach, Riverview, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor, and Dunedin.
Wide range. Small repairs (loose boards, hardware): $500-$1,500. Mid-size (full re-deck on a 4×60 dock): $4,000-$8,000. Large (piling replacement, framework, structural): $8,000-$20,000+. Storm damage rebuilds vary widely.
Rule of thumb: if more than 40% of the structure (pilings, stringers, deck) needs replacement, a full rebuild is usually cheaper and gets you a new 30-year warranty. Under 40%, repair is the right move.
Cosmetic repairs (deck boards, hardware, rails) usually don't require permits. Structural repairs (pilings, framework) and full rebuilds always do. We handle permits in-house when needed.
We aim to be on-site within 48-72 hours after a named storm for emergency assessments. Full rebuild scheduling depends on materials and permits.
Storm damage is often covered by homeowners or flood policies. We provide insurance-grade documentation and written estimates with every storm assessment.
Yes. About 70% of our repair work is on docks we didn't build originally. We assess what's there, tell you straight what's salvageable, and repair the rest.
