Broken and cracked welds compromise the whole frame. Our crews carry welding equipment by boat and repair welds on-site, on the water.

Waterlogged or damaged floats make a dock list and strain the frame. We repair flotation, replace failed floats, and add new flotation when your dock needs more lift.
Fix your flotation

Worn cables and failing anchors put your whole dock at risk in storms and changing water levels. We inspect, repair, and upgrade dock anchoring so it stays put.
Secure your dock

Soft, splintered, or aging boards? Dock redecking replaces decking and sub-structure with wood, composite, or PVC — a like-new walking surface at a fraction of replacement cost.

Update your dock's look and safety with new railings — from replacements to custom modifications that match your waterfront.

Boat slip inserts and modifications can improve fit, function, and access for your boat. From resizing slips to adding custom framing, we tailor your dock to better suit your current watercraft and boating needs.

Transform the entire look of your dock with a wide range of layouts and roof styles — expand a slip, add a swim platform, or reroof.

A complete dock renovation — structure, flotation, decking, railing, and roof — that gives your dock the makeover it deserves without the cost of starting over.
Plan your dock remodelWith offices in Gainesville on Lake Lanier, Eatonton on Lake Oconee, and Anderson, SC — and a fleet of service boats working every day — boat dock repair near you usually means a crew that's already minutes away by water.
We regularly provide dock repair and dock maintenance on Lake Lanier, Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, Lake Allatoona, Lake Oconee, and Lake Sinclair, addressing structural issues, flotation problems, and storm damage for residential and marina docks. Local experience and knowledge of lake-specific conditions keep your dock safe and functional year-round.


A Lake Lanier homeowner wanted to keep the dock their family loved — but the frame was damaged, the staircase had worked loose, and the decking had aged past spot repairs. See how our crew restored the structure, anchored the staircase, and redecked every surface.
Dock repair isn't like other home projects — the work happens over open water, on your property, under your lake's shoreline rules. Who you hire determines who carries the risk.
Uninsured injury claims can land on the property owner. On our jobs, that liability is ours — never yours.
A dropped lift, a scraped boat, a neighbor's dinged dock — without contractor coverage, you chase it yourself. Our general liability protects your property from day one.
Insurers can deny claims tied to unlicensed work or docks built outside shoreline guidelines. Licensed, compliant work keeps your coverage intact.
Failing frames and shifting flotation give no warning over open water. Marine construction is all we've done since 1988.

As the leading dock repair and service company operating in North Georgia and South Carolina, we're proud of our highly skilled and vastly knowledgeable repair and maintenance team. We take the time necessary to understand your individual situation and recommend the appropriate solution for your current and future waterfront goals.
Our floating dock maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your dock — and we regularly service older docks and docks in high-traffic areas to manage potential repairs during key boating seasons.

The MSI Difference

We recommend having your dock professionally inspected every six months.
Dock repairs are subject to capacity constraints on our team; however, we pride ourselves on prompt turnaround times and do our best to meet every customer's need within a one to three-week time frame. We often perform larger repairs during fall and winter to maximize off-season downtime.
If the frame is sound, repairs and redecking add years of life at a fraction of replacement cost. If you want more from your dock — a new layout, roof, or railing — a dock remodel transforms it without starting over. If the structure is failing, we'll tell you honestly and quote a replacement. Every project starts with an inspection and a straight answer.
Because much of the pre-work is completed before the repair, you do not need to be home the day that service is scheduled. Upon completion of the repair, our Sales Manager will follow up with you to ensure the repair met your expectations.
Our clients are required to make an upfront deposit that will confirm the repair and guarantee a time slot in our schedule.
Since 1988, we've provided boat dock maintenance and repair solutions throughout Georgia and South Carolina. Whether you live on Lake Lanier, Chatuge Lake, Nottely Lake, Lake Allatoona, Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, Blue Ridge, or the surrounding area, contact us today.
