NH DOCK REPAIRLAKES REGION, NEW HAMPSHIRE

FROM THE WORK · NH DOCK REPAIR

Ice-shifted composite dock

Posts leaning after winter. Decking lifted, framing repaired, and a finished walkway back over the water.

Look beneath the boards

The walkway’s composite decking was still in place, but its posts were leaning. Opening the deck gave access to the framing and connections underneath.

Framing first

With the boards lifted, the work could reach the stringers, joists and cross-members. The sequence follows the framing back toward shore, including new stringers set to a builder’s level.

The walkway, rebuilt

Composite decking went back over the repaired frame. The finished walkway is shown alongside the earlier damage and the work beneath the surface.

Lifting an ice-damaged dock back to level

Ice shifted the supports and split a stringer. Rope rigging brought the dock back to level for the structural repair.

An ice-out rebuild, ready for summer

Moving ice pushed this timber crib over. We handled the rebuild from start to finish and had the dock ready for the summer season.
