Decking & Accessories FAQs
Can you replace decking without replacing the entire dock?
Often, yes. If your framework is safe and serviceable, re-decking is a smart way to refresh the dock without starting over.
Can you help me choose the right parts or accessories?
Yes. The fastest way is to send photos and any measurements you have. We’ll help you identify what you’re working with and recommend the right fit.
Do you install accessories and upgrades, or only sell them?
We can do both. Many customers prefer install so the result is clean, secure, and correctly aligned.
What should I do if my dock feels unstable or is shifting?
Start with an inspection. It may be hardware, leveling, or framework condition. We’ll recommend the right fix based on safety and cost.
