Dock decking

Dock decking & re-decking

Fresh decking over a sound frame — a fraction of a full rebuild. We connect you with vetted, licensed Florida marine crews for composite, aluminum, or wood re-decking, and coordinate repair or piling work on the same project.

Re-deck or resurface

When the frame and pilings are sound, you only need new decking. Re-decking is a fraction of a full rebuild — and it makes an old dock feel new.

Frame check first

The inspection confirms the joists, stringers, and pilings can take a new surface.

Material to fit your use

Composite, aluminum, or wood — chosen for your budget and how the dock lives.

Materials

Decking materials

All three are solid choices in Florida — the right one depends on your budget, your look, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Composite

Low-maintenance, no splinters, and salt-tough. Modern default for most residential docks.

Aluminum

Lightweight, salt-tough, and stays cooler underfoot in Florida sun. Long service life.

Wood

Classic look, budget-friendly, refinishable. Requires periodic sealing to hold up.

Warning signs

Signs it's time to re-deck

Decking wears out before the frame does. When you see these, it's time to plan a re-deck.

Splintering, warping, or cupped boards
Fasteners backing out or protruding above the surface
Soft spots or springy sections underfoot
Faded, slippery, or algae-stained surface
Boards pulling away from the runners
Cracking along the ends or edges of boards

FAQ

Common questions about dock re-decking

Composite vs wood vs aluminum — which decking should I pick?

Composite is the low-maintenance default: no splinters, no sealing, salt-tough. Wood is cheapest up front and refinishable but needs upkeep. Aluminum is lightweight, stays cooler in the sun, and holds up for decades. The inspection walks through the tradeoffs for your dock and how you use it.

Can I keep my existing frame?

Usually, yes — that's the whole point of re-decking. If the pilings, joists, and stringers are sound, you only need new decking. The inspection checks the frame first; if it's not solid, our partners can repair or replace it.

What does re-decking cost?

Cost depends on dock size and material — composite and aluminum are more up front than wood, but less over their life. The free inspection gives you an itemized quote from a vetted local crew so you're comparing real numbers, not estimates from a calculator.

How much maintenance does dock decking need?

Composite and aluminum are mostly rinse-and-go. Wood decking needs periodic cleaning and sealing to stay solid. Whichever you pick, we'll walk through the real maintenance you should expect.
