Maintenance & Repairs

In the Charleston area, including Edisto Beach, Johns Island, James Island, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, and West Ashley, lumber docks, pierheads, and seawalls last 15 to 20 years before major repairs or replacement. Storms, hurricanes, and brackish water accelerate wear. Charleston Dock Doctors extends structure life with expert repairs: re-decking piers and decks, leveling docks, extending piles for hurricane prep, adding modern pile guides, stabilizing floating docks, and more.
