Beneath every board lies a story of resilience and renewal. Over time, even the strongest structures begin to show signs of wear. At DockFitter, LLC, we specialize in dock repair and restoration services that bring aging waterfront structures back to life. With over 25 years of expertise in marine construction and waterfront infrastructure, our team combines craftsmanship, precision, and marine-grade materials to restore the integrity, safety, and appearance of your dock. Whether it’s structural damage, corrosion, or weathered decking, we ensure your dock is rebuilt to perform—and endure—like new.

Located in Biloxi, we proudly serve clients across the Mississippi Gulf Coast—from Ocean Springs to Gulfport, D’Iberville, and beyond. Biloxi’s coastal environment, with its high humidity, saltwater exposure, and seasonal storms, often accelerates dock deterioration.

From small residential docks to large commercial piers, we provide the region’s most trusted marine restoration solutions—crafted for Biloxi’s unique waterfront conditions.

At DockFitter, our approach goes beyond fixing what’s broken. We restore docks with a focus on long-term performance, functionality, and aesthetics. Each project begins with a detailed inspection to identify hidden structural weaknesses, followed by a customized repair plan designed for lasting stability. Whether replacing pilings, reinforcing substructures, or upgrading decking and hardware, we deliver precision work that enhances both safety and appearance. Our mission is simple: to protect your investment, restore your dock’s strength, and ensure it remains a secure, beautiful part of your waterfront lifestyle for years to come.

Our Dock Repair and Restoration Services

Structural Assessment and Damage Evaluation

Every restoration begins with a detailed evaluation to uncover visible and hidden issues. We inspect pilings, decking, joints, and hardware to assess structural stability and deterioration. Our findings guide precise repair strategies, ensuring every dock regains full strength, safety, and durability for long-term coastal performance.

Piling Replacement and Reinforcement

Pilings form the critical base of your dock. We replace or reinforce weakened or decayed pilings using high-grade timber, steel, or concrete engineered for marine environments. Each installation restores load-bearing strength and stability, preventing shifting, leaning, or failure under the constant forces of waves and tides.

Decking Repair and Surface Restoration

We replace cracked, uneven, or weathered boards with durable, slip-resistant decking materials that ensure comfort and safety. Our process restores smoothness, appearance, and traction, delivering a surface that withstands moisture, UV rays, and daily use while maintaining the dock’s aesthetic and structural quality.

Fastener and Hardware Upgrades

Hardware failures can compromise a dock’s stability. We replace rusted or outdated bolts, hinges, and brackets with corrosion-resistant, marine-grade hardware. Each upgrade strengthens connections, enhances safety, and ensures long-term resistance to saltwater exposure—keeping your dock structurally secure and maintenance-free for years.

Substructure and Framing Rehabilitation

We repair or replace deteriorated beams, joists, and braces to reinforce your dock’s substructure. Our team ensures balanced load distribution and strong support to combat fatigue from waves and wind. These reinforcements extend dock longevity and improve performance in Biloxi’s demanding marine conditions.

Finishing, Coating, and Protective Treatments

To defend against Biloxi’s harsh climate, we apply advanced marine sealants, stains, and anti-corrosion coatings. These finishes protect against rot, rust, and UV damage while enhancing color and texture. The result—a beautifully restored dock that stays strong, resilient, and visually appealing year after year.

Benefits of Professional Dock Repair and Restoration

Extended Structural Lifespan

Prompt dock repairs keep minor wear from becoming major damage. By replacing weakened components and reinforcing structural points, restoration drastically extends your dock’s usable life. This proactive approach saves on costly rebuilds, maintaining long-term reliability and ensuring your dock stays strong, safe, and serviceable for decades.

Improved Safety and Stability

We restore confidence beneath every step. Reinforced pilings, secure decking, and corrosion-proof fasteners eliminate instability and reduce hazards. Professional restoration ensures your dock remains level, sturdy, and slip-resistant—creating a safe, dependable surface for boaters, families, and guests in all weather and water conditions.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement

Dock restoration delivers near-new results without the high price of total reconstruction. By retaining undamaged elements and focusing repairs where needed, you reduce costs while restoring complete functionality, performance, and beauty—achieving exceptional value without compromising safety or aesthetics.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

Restoration not only strengthens your dock—it revitalizes its look. New decking, hardware, and polished finishes restore uniformity and elegance. Whether for private relaxation or public use, a restored dock enhances your property’s visual appeal and creates a welcoming waterfront space.

Protection from Environmental Damage

Our process integrates corrosion-resistant materials, waterproof coatings, and strategic drainage systems to combat Biloxi’s coastal elements. Saltwater, UV exposure, and humidity are no match for our marine-grade protection—ensuring your dock remains strong and resilient against weathering and environmental wear year after year.

Increased Property and Resale Value

A structurally sound, visually appealing dock elevates property value instantly. Restoration enhances usability and longevity while showcasing craftsmanship and care—making your waterfront property more attractive to buyers and more rewarding to own, both functionally and financially, for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my dock needs repair or restoration?

    Common signs include loose decking, leaning pilings, rusted hardware, or wood decay. Structural instability, uneven surfaces, or corrosion underneath often indicate deeper issues. A professional inspection identifies problem areas and determines whether targeted repairs or a full restoration are needed to ensure safety and long-term reliability.

  • What types of docks can be repaired or restored?

    We service all dock types, including wooden, aluminum, concrete, and composite structures. Whether fixed, floating, residential, or commercial, our team customizes every restoration to match your dock’s materials, design, and environment—reviving its appearance, strength, and performance for dependable use in Biloxi’s coastal waters.

  • How long does the dock restoration process take?

    Project timelines depend on dock size, condition, and materials. Minor repairs may take a few days, while complex restorations or commercial docks can require several weeks. Our team provides a clear schedule after inspection, ensuring transparency and timely completion with minimal disruption to your waterfront activities.

  • Can DockFitter, LLC restore docks in Biloxi’s saltwater environment?

    Yes. DockFitter, LLC specializes in saltwater dock restoration throughout Biloxi, Mississippi, and neighboring Gulf Coast regions. We use marine-grade sealants, anti-corrosion coatings, and durable materials engineered to resist moisture, UV exposure, and salt damage—ensuring your dock withstands Biloxi’s coastal climate for decades.

  • What materials are best for dock repair in coastal regions?

    Marine-grade treated lumber, stainless-steel fasteners, composite decking, and reinforced concrete piles offer excellent durability in saltwater environments. These materials resist corrosion, UV degradation, and marine growth while providing long-lasting strength—making them ideal for docks exposed to Biloxi’s humid, salt-rich coastal conditions.

  • Is it better to repair or rebuild a damaged dock?

    Repair is often more cost-effective for localized damage, such as rotted boards or minor pile wear. However, docks with severe foundation failure or advanced corrosion may require full replacement. Our specialists assess structural integrity to recommend the safest, most efficient, and long-lasting solution.

  • How often should docks be inspected for damage?

    Annual inspections are essential, especially before and after Biloxi’s storm season. Routine evaluations detect early signs of wear, corrosion, or shifting foundations—allowing timely maintenance that extends lifespan, improves safety, and prevents small issues from escalating into costly dock repairs or replacements.
