About Us

Integrity Crafted as Finely as the Docks We Build

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.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

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.
Becky & Art SantoraBeresford Creek Landing, Charleston
★★★★★
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.
Jillian R.Charleston, SC
★★★★★
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.
Drew L.Charleston, SC
★★★★★
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.
