Dock construction
A place to keep your boat, gather with family or reach the water: your priorities shape the conversation. Share what you want to do, whether there is an existing dock and what access looks like from shore.
Dock repair
Worn boards, movement or damage after a storm are reasons to have a dock reviewed. Describe what you have noticed and where. Photos taken from a safe location can help start the conversation; do not walk onto a damaged structure to take them.
Boat lifts
The boat, existing dock and conditions at the property all matter when planning a lift. Share the make, model and year, along with size or fully loaded weight if known. Equipment compatibility needs an installer’s review.
Boat ramps
A private boat ramp is a construction project shaped by the shoreline, intended use and access. Tell us whether you are considering new access or work around an existing ramp. This service is for property projects, rather than a directory of public boat launches.
Seawalls
Whether you are concerned about erosion or an existing wall, start by sharing the location and what you see. Photos help describe the situation, but a site assessment is needed to understand the conditions and appropriate work.
Painting & staining
Tell us about the dock’s surface, its current finish and its condition. Surface preparation and coating compatibility matter as much as the final appearance. If boards or framing are damaged, address repair needs before discussing a finish.
Where to start with project approvals
Start with Greenwood County Lake Management to discuss the proposed work and the current application process. Requirements depend on the property and project.
Getting ready for an estimate
Start with the service you are considering, your town or community, a short description and a way to contact you. Exact measurements are not needed to start the conversation.
