COMMON QUESTIONS
How long does it take to build a custom dock?
Most residential docks take 2-4 weeks of construction once permits are issued. Permit review can add several weeks depending on county, state, and federal scope.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
Dockmen coordinates the permit path with the matched contractor, including local, state, submerged-lands, and federal review where applicable.
What warranty do you offer?
Warranty terms depend on the contractor, product, and scope. Dockmen helps clarify who owns the construction warranty before work begins.
What materials are typical?
Northeast Florida docks commonly use marine-grade pressure-treated lumber, composite decking rated for saltwater exposure, and stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware. The matched contractor recommends the right mix for the site.
Do you offer financing options?
Financing is handled by the contractor or a third-party lender, not by Dockmen. Ask the matched contractor about available payment options before signing a contract.
Can you repair my existing dock?
Yes. Repair scopes including board replacement, piling repair, lift service, and seawall restoration are routed to vetted Northeast Florida contractors.
How do I know what size boat lift I need?
Boat lift capacity should exceed your vessel's fully-loaded weight by at least 20%. The matched contractor confirms sizing during the site assessment.
Are you licensed and insured?
Dockmen is a contractor-matching and coordination company. The marine contractors in the network are vetted for active licensing and insurance.
