About Us
Charleston Dock Doctors LLC was formed in January 2023 by JP Maderson.

He founded Charleston Dock Doctors on the idea that integrity and reputation can be crafted as finely as the seawalls and docks we build.

Straightforward assessments and fair pricing. We'll tell you when to stop patching and fix the root problem.
Efficient crews that show up on time and finish on schedule, working around the tides and weather.

Homeowners, HOAs, and marinas across Charleston trust Charleston Dock Doctors.
JP and his Charleston Dock Doctors rebuilt our floating dock and replaced the worn gangway boards with new composite WEARdeck. His crew worked late to finish on time. We're very pleased with the result—and the cost was substantially less than the next closest bid.
The best contractors I've ever dealt with. Showed up on time, provided a very reasonable price, got the job done quick, and cleaned up after themselves. Zero complaints. I will recommend them to everyone I know.
I cannot express enough how organized and determined JP and his team were. We hit challenges with the tide and weather, but they quickly rescheduled and completed the job to a high standard. I highly recommend them.
They rebuilt a failing retaining wall along the lake behind our house. JP coordinated with our pool contractor, finished on time and under budget, and the crew respected our property. End product exceeded our expectations.
Dock Doctors did the most professional and rapid assessment of my needs. They replaced my walkway and my floating dock, prices were extremely competitive, and they were very quick to respond. I recommend them very highly.
JP and his team have been a tremendous asset for our Seagate Community. He provided a comprehensive assessment and project scope, and the team was efficient, thorough, and courteous. We look forward to continuing our partnership.
