Living on the water fulfills a lifetime dream for many people. For others, it’s a foregone conclusion because you spend all your time on the water anyway. Your boat dock should be more than an afterthought.
We can build custom-designed boat docks that blend naturally with the surroundings, or perhaps create a personalized getaway just a step away from home. Whatever you have in mind for a custom dock, here’s why you’ll love it.
1. Better Boating and More Fun
Believe it or not, you could love boating, fishing, and spending time on the water even more. The right layout and a perfectly sized slip get you on and off the boat faster. You can create space for lounging and entertaining. What’s important is that a custom dock does more than just serve as a parking space.
2. All the Bells & Whistles
When you build a custom dock from scratch, you have the opportunity to add everything you want in the most cohesive way. The result looks better when all the finishes and hardware are custom and matching.
- Custom wood decking
- Roof or sundeck
- Custom boat lift
- Jet Ski dock
- Built-in storage
- Wood posts and handrails
- Swim ladder, kayak launch, and more
3. Easier Maintenance
Quality construction translates to less upkeep. Custom docks with materials chosen specifically for your microclimate and water will age more gracefully. With a slip and lift custom installed for your needs, it’s easier to use with less wear and tear. Expect long lifespan and simple maintenance from a custom dock.
4. An Extension of Your Home
Like a nice porch or sunroom, a custom dock looks and feels like a natural extension of your home. Imagine a gable roofed dock that matches the style of your house, or a sundeck that serves as an extra entertainment space.
5. Preserve Your Shoreline
Docks are only as good as their foundation. Without proper erosion control, you’re left with tilted pilings and a weathered shoreline. Custom dock builders can also take care of rip rap or sea walls along with dock stairs or gangways for safe, easy access.
6. Help with Permits
The Tennessee Valley Authority requires permits for most any waterfront alteration. Your homeowners association or local entity might have stipulations as well. Working with an experienced Knoxville dock builder means having an expert in your corner to handle the red tape.
7. Better Value for Your Property
Custom docks are priceless, but there’s certainly a tangible value to having a luxury-grade dock on your property. Should you ever sell the home, obviously the next buyer will be interested in having a premium dock already built. Prefab models can’t offer the same return on investment.
