Frequently Asked Questions

Dock construction involves designing, engineering, and building a boat dock or pier on a waterfront property. DockPro handles the full process — from initial design and permitting guidance through site preparation, structural construction, decking, and final installation.

Most residential dock projects take 1–3 weeks depending on size, complexity, and materials. Larger commercial projects or custom covered boat slips may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline during your free estimate.

Yes. DockPro Construction builds both residential boat docks and commercial docks. We customize every build to your specific needs and waterfront conditions.

We use only A-grade materials — pressure-treated lumber, marine-grade hardware, composite decking options, and materials rated for Texas lake conditions, UV exposure, and humidity. We never cut corners on materials.

Permit requirements vary by lake, county, and property. Some Highland Lakes reservoirs have specific LCRA or TPWD regulations. We can guide you through the permit process to ensure your project is fully compliant.

Warning signs include: sagging or bouncy boards, visible rot or cracks, dock sitting lower in the water, loose or corroded hardware, unstable posts, and any damage after storms or flooding. If you notice any of these, call us for an inspection.

Absolutely. Re-floating docks is one of our specialties. We assess the flotation system, raise the dock, make structural repairs, and restore it to full working condition.

Yes. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and extends the life of your dock significantly. We offer maintenance programs — contact us to schedule a regular maintenance plan for your dock.

We repair virtually everything: rotted or broken decking, damaged posts and pilings, rusted hardware, flotation failures, storm damage, and general structural deterioration. We also repair retaining walls, patios, and hardscapes at waterfront locations.

Our retaining wall, hardscape, and patio services are for waterfront and lakefront properties only. We focus exclusively on lakefront construction and have specialized expertise for those unique site conditions.

Retaining walls prevent shoreline erosion, stabilize slopes, create usable flat areas on steep waterfront lots, control drainage, and can dramatically improve both the utility and appearance of your lakefront property.

Yes. We handle the full scope from design through construction — including site assessment, material selection, grading, and final installation. A well-designed patio extends your living space right to the water's edge.

Dock costs vary widely based on size, materials, design complexity, and site conditions. Rather than quote a range that may not apply to your situation, we provide free, no-obligation estimates so you get accurate pricing for your specific project.

Yes. Unlike many contractors where owners just sell and disappear, Bryan Bennight works on-site with his team on every project. You deal with the owner directly — from estimate through completion.

We work hard to beat local competitors' prices for equivalent quality custom waterfront work in the area. We never sacrifice materials or craftsmanship, but we are committed to fair, competitive pricing.

DockPro Construction serves the entire Highland Lakes region and a 50-mile radius from Burnet TX — including Kingsland, Marble Falls, Granite Shoals, Lampasas, Llano, Horseshoe Bay, and surrounding communities.
