Does anyone have any advise on having a dock constructed in Mount Pleasant? Who is the best company, reliable and trustworthy? What are the going rates for linear footage? Is IPE wood, aluminum, and coated pilings worth the extra expense? Any insight, both good and bad would be greatly appreciated.</font id=“Tahoma”></font id=“size4”>
I don’t know of any dock builders but if you need a dock gangway “ramp from pierhead to floating dock” let me know I build them and can save you about $500.00 on one.

i build / repair docks for a living. my personal take on docks is why put a 50 year product[ ipe alum] on a 20 year foundation{pilings]. as far as expense–you get what you pay for. if the extra expense of the nicer materials/better construction is worth it to you then go for it. it is sort of like driving a lexus/ford/kia. pick your price. a dock is a large investment,i would call american dock,docks unlimited and dockmasters, get prices, go look at their finished products,and pick the one you want. right now there is a lot of people flooding the market with cut rate prices and that is what you will get–cut rate quality and warranty.3 things-painted metal roof,the largest capacity lift you can afford[it greatly helps resale] and aluminum ramp instead of wood.
