We come out and assess
On the water. We look at decking, framing, hardware, the waterline and the roof structure if there is one, and tell you what needs doing now versus what can wait a season.
Boat Dock Repair & Restoration on North Texas Lakes
On lakes where a new dock can no longer be built. We don't build docks from scratch. We bring existing ones back. On most North Texas lakes that isn't a limitation, it's the entire market.

Which North Texas Lakes Allow New Docks
This surprises people, so it's worth stating plainly at the top.
On Lake Lewisville and Lake Grapevine — both managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. You cannot build a new dock at all. The Corps states that new boathouse and dock construction is not being permitted at Lewisville, and that new boathouse permits will not be issued for Grapevine.
The only way to have a dock on those lakes is to own a property where one already stands under a current, active permit. Which means everything that happens to those docks from here on is repair, restoration and rebuild, and on Grapevine, a rebuild has to stay within the original footprint or smaller.
That's the work we do. We are not competing with dock builders for new construction; we look after the docks that already exist, on lakes where they cannot be replaced with something new.
It also means the stakes are different. A dock you cannot rebuild bigger, on a lake that will not permit another one, is worth maintaining properly.
Boat Dock Repair Services We Offer
Dock Re-Decking and Resurfacing
The most common job. Failing boards replaced with marine-grade composite or treated lumber, with fastening and framing checked underneath while it's open.
Structural Dock Repair
Stringers, joists, bracing and connection hardware that have gone at the waterline. This is the repair that decides whether the dock has another twenty years in it.
Storm and Impact Damage Repair
Assessment, insurance documentation and repair after wind, hail or a hard landing.
Boathouse Roof and Siding Repair
Re-roofing, replacing damaged cladding and restoring covered structures — within the footprint and roof-pitch limits the lake authority allows.
Dock Permit Transfers and Inspections
When a lake property changes hands, the dock permit has to transfer, and there is an inspection. We handle the process and fix what the inspection turns up.
Ladders, Rails, Cleats and Swim Platforms
The parts that get used most and fail first. Slip-resistant surfaces and hardware rated for constant water.

Dock Repair Materials
A dock lives half-submerged in a lake that rises and falls several feet a year. Material choices that are fine on a backyard deck are not fine here.
| Material | What to know | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Marine-grade composite | No rot, no splinters, no annual sealing, and it handles being wet indefinitely. It is our usual re-decking recommendation. | High |
| Treated marine lumber | The traditional option and still valid, particularly where matching an existing structure matters. Requires a real maintenance schedule and honest expectations at the waterline. | Mid |
| Stainless and hot-dip galvanised hardware | Fasteners and connectors are where most dock repairs actually fail twice. We don't reuse corroded hardware. | Varies |
| Structural aluminum | For replacing framing that has gone beyond repair. Doesn't rust, doesn't rot, and light enough to work with over water. | Mid–High |
Relative cost compares options against each other, not against a fixed price. Your quote gives real numbers for your project, with each option priced side by side.

Boat Dock Repair FAQs
Do you build new boat docks?
No. We repair, restore and rebuild existing docks. On the two largest lakes in the metroplex that isn't a limitation. The Corps of Engineers does not permit new dock construction on Lewisville or Grapevine at all, so repair and restoration is the only work there is.
Can I build a new boat dock on Lake Lewisville or Grapevine?
No. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers states that new boathouse and dock construction is not being permitted at Lewisville, and that new boathouse permits will not be issued for Grapevine. The only route to a dock on those lakes is buying a property that already has one under a current, active permit. Existing structures on Grapevine can be rebuilt with Lake Office approval, but only to the original footprint or smaller.
My dock came with the house. Is the permit in my name?
It should be, and it often isn't. Permits transfer on sale through a documented process — Grapevine, for example, requires a notarised bill of sale and an inspection. If yours never transferred, that's worth resolving before you spend money on the structure. We can help you work out where you stand.
How do I know if my dock needs structural repair or just new boards?
New decking over failing framing is money spent twice. When we assess, we look underneath — at stringers, joists, bracing and hardware at the waterline, and separate what's structural from what's cosmetic so you can see exactly what you're deciding between.
Can you repair storm damage and work with my insurer?
Yes. We document the damage, provide a written scope and itemized costs suitable for a claim, and carry out the repair once it's approved.
Is a deposit required to start?
A deposit reserves your build slot and covers material ordering. The amount is set out in your written quote before you sign anything, and we never ask for the full amount up front. The balance is tied to progress on the job.
Do you subcontract your work?
Our carpentry crews are in-house. Where a trade licence is legally required, such as electrical or gas for an outdoor kitchen or a dock, that work goes to a licensed specialist we coordinate and stand behind.
Which lakes do you work on?
We work the North and East Texas lakes, including Lewisville, Grapevine, Ray Hubbard, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, Bridgeport, Richland Chambers and Possum Kingdom. Call and tell us which lake you're on and we'll tell you straight away whether it's work we can take.
