FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
SnapJacket Piling Restoration
What is a SnapJacket and how does it work?
SnapJacket is a UV-resistant vinyl jacket that wraps around damaged wood pilings. Once filled with high-strength concrete, it restores and reinforces the piling—often exceeding its original structural capacity.
Do I need to remove my dock for SnapJacket installation?
No! SnapJackets are designed to be installed without removing or disassembling existing dock structures, saving you time and money.
How long does a SnapJacket last?
SnapJackets come with a 25-year product warranty and are engineered to withstand harsh marine environments for decades.
Dock Re-Decking & Framing
How do I know if my dock needs re-decking or just minor repairs?
If your deck boards are warping, splitting, or unsafe—or if the framing underneath shows signs of rot or instability—it’s time to consider re-decking and structural reinforcement.
What materials can I choose for my new decking?
We offer pressure-treated lumber, hardwood (like Ipe), and composite decking, depending on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance expectations.
How long does a typical re-decking project take?
Most residential re-decking projects can be completed within a few days to a week, depending on size and complexity.
Dock Re-Decking & Framing
How do I know if I need a seawall?
If you’re experiencing shoreline erosion, flooding during high tides, or visible land loss, a seawall can provide critical protection for your property.
What type of seawall is best for my property?
We’ll recommend the best material—vinyl, concrete, composite, or riprap—based on your shoreline conditions, wave exposure, and budget.
How long does a seawall installation take?
Most seawall installations are completed within 1–3 weeks, depending on site conditions, material selection, and permitting.
New Pile Installation
What types of piles do you offer?
We install wood, concrete, and composite piles, depending on your structural needs, budget, and environmental conditions.
Can new piles be added to an existing dock?
Yes, new piles can be installed to support dock expansions or replace failing support members without a full rebuild.
Are permits required for new piling installation?
In most cases, yes. We assist with the permitting process to ensure full compliance with local and coastal regulations.

What size boats can your lifts handle?
We install boat lifts for everything from jet skis to 30+ ft vessels, customized for weight, hull type, and water depth.
Do you offer maintenance plans for lifts?
Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance services to keep your lift operating smoothly, including inspections, lubrication, cable replacement, and motor checks.
Can you install lifts on existing docks?
Absolutely. We assess your current dock’s structure and modify or reinforce it as needed to safely support a new lift system.
