Dock SERVICE & DOCK
MAINTENANCE PLANS
Dock SERVICE & MAINTENANCE PLANS
Our service and maintenance plans are essential for anyone who owns or manages a seawall, dock, or boat lift. These structures face harsh weather, constant exposure to water, and heavy use, leading to inevitable wear over time. A structured maintenance plan helps prevent accidents, extends the lifespan of your waterfront property, and ensures compliance with local regulations. Investing in regular upkeep can also reduce costly repairs or replacements down the line.
At Dock Experts, our maintenance plans include inspections, repairs, cleaning, and preventative measures to keep your waterfront property safe, functional, and long-lasting.
Parts That Tend to Need Replacing
Even with proper upkeep, certain components wear out faster due to exposure, weight load, or saltwater corrosion. Dock Experts stocks a full inventory of essential parts, ensuring minimal downtime and fast repairs. Common replacements include:
Boat Lift Cables & Pulleys–prone to fraying, rust, or kinking over time
Zinc Anodes – deteriorate and need periodic replacement to prevent electrolysis damage
Cleats, Fenders & Bumpers – often damaged by repeated impact or UV exposure
Dock Hardware & Fasteners – rusted or loose connections can become safety issues
Decking & Framing – boards can warp, splinter, or rot from moisture and sun
Boat Lift
Service & Repairs
Boat lifts require precise operation and regular maintenance to avoid mechanical failure and watercraft damage. Our technicians service all makes and models, addressing:
Alignment and adjustment of bunks and beams
Lubrication of winches, sheaves, and pillow blocks
Cable inspections and replacement as needed
Limit switch testing and alignment
Scraping of lift tracks and replacement of worn zincs
With scheduled maintenance every six months, your lift will stay reliable and extend its operational life.
Dock & Seawall
Maintenance
Docks and seawalls are your shoreline’s first line of defense—but they’re also vulnerable to weather, wave action, and age. We offer:
Dock inspections for rot, rust, cracking, and joint integrity
Hardware tightening and replacement of cleats, ladders, and mooring gear
Decking repairs or replacements for safety and structural stability
Seawall checks for cracks, lateral movement, undermining, and cap deterioration
Written reports with photographic documentation so you know exactly what’s needed
