Dock & Boathouse Repair Services on Lake Guntersville
Everything on this page is ordered the way calls actually come in on Lake Guntersville: something is broken and the season is short. Start with the service that matches your problem, or just call (256) 555-0100 and describe what you're seeing — soft boards, a lift that hums but doesn't move, a piling that wasn't leaning last fall.

new dock construction ›Repair or replace? The honest math
The dividing line on this lake is usually the pilings. If pilings are sound, almost anything above the waterline — decking, framing, roofs, lifts — is worth repairing, and a repair typically costs a fraction of new construction. If most pilings are gone at the waterline, repair money is better spent toward a new structure, which also resets your TVA paperwork cleanly. An honest assessment tells you which side of the line you're on before anyone talks price.
