Dock Repair on Lake Hamilton, Lake Ouachita, and Around Hot Springs, AR
Lake docks take a constant beating from sun, water, weather, and use. Boards rot. Decking warps. Posts loosen. Hardware rusts out. Aaron’s Handyman Services handles dock repair across Hot Springs lake properties, including Lake Hamilton, Lake Ouachita, and Lake Catherine. We replace boards, repair framing, swap out failed hardware, restore railings, and bring tired docks back to a safe, usable condition without the cost of a full rebuild.
Dock Repair, Not Dock Building
We are specifically a dock repair specialist, not a new-dock builder. New dock construction on Lake Hamilton, Lake Ouachita, and Lake Catherine requires permits and licensing that are different from general residential construction. For new builds, we will recommend a licensed dock builder we trust. For repair work on your existing dock, we are exactly who you want.
What We Repair
- Deck board replacement:rotted, warped, splintered, or storm-damaged boards swapped for pressure-treated or composite
- Framing repair:joist replacement, joist sistering, and structural reinforcement
- Railing repair and replacement:wood and metal railings restored to safe condition
- Hardware replacement:bolts, hangers, brackets, and cleats that have rusted or failed
- Stair repair:dock stairs leading to or from the water, including treads, stringers, and handrails
- Surface refresh:sanding, staining, and sealing to protect lake-exposed wood
- Trim, fascia, and skirting repair:the cosmetic work that keeps a repaired dock looking finished
Lake-Specific Materials and Methods
Lake hardware is not the same as backyard deck hardware. We use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and brackets rated for constant moisture and UV exposure, not the cheap stuff that rusts inside two years. We replace boards with pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and water exposure, or composite decking if you want a lower-maintenance option that will not splinter or rot.
