Frequently asked questions

We design and build custom fixed and floating docks, boathouses, piers, and boat slip systems to match your property and water conditions. Every project is tailored—not prefabricated—so it fits your shoreline, water depth, and usage needs.

Yes. We provide full-service repair and maintenance for damaged or aging docks, including board replacements, structural fixes, boat lift adjustments, and storm damage restoration. We also offer routine maintenance to extend the life of your dock.

In most cases, a permit is required for new dock construction or major modifications. We help guide you through the process by handling site assessments, permit applications, and compliance with local, state, and marine regulations.

The timeline depends on the size of the dock, permitting requirements, weather conditions, and material availability. On average, most custom docks take a few weeks from approval to completion, and we’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.

Cracks, leaning walls, or visible soil erosion behind the structure are early warning signs of failure. If you notice these issues, contact DockFitter, LLC in Biloxi, Mississippi, for a professional inspection before the damage worsens.

Absolutely. We retrofit existing docks with advanced lighting, boat lifts, and smart control systems to improve functionality and appearance. Our Biloxi-based team modernizes older structures to meet today’s waterfront standards.
