Dock Builder in Kalispell, MT
We are a family dock and deck builder based in Somers, about fifteen minutes from Kalispell. Most weeks we are somewhere between here and town, which means quotes happen fast and repairs do not sit for a month.
What We Build Around Kalispell
Kalispell itself sits off the lake, so the work splits two ways.
For lake places, whether that is a second property on Flathead or a cabin on one of the smaller lakes, we build custom aluminum docks, handle repairs, and do the fall removal and spring launch every year.
In town, most of what we do is decks: aluminum framing with composite decking, built to take the snow load and the freeze-thaw without going soft in five years.
Why Aluminum Here
Kalispell gets real winters. Snow sits on a deck for months, and the ground moves with every freeze and thaw. A wood deck built here will cup, split and gray out, and the hardware rusts from the inside where you cannot see it.
Aluminum framing does not rot, rust or warp. Composite decking on top does not splinter and does not need staining every other summer. You spend the money once instead of every spring.
Getting Your Dock In and Out
If your place is on the water, the dock comes out in the fall before the ice forms and goes back in once the lake is stable in spring. We disconnect it from the anchoring, lift it out, take it apart section by section, sort the hardware and store it.
Every dock gets looked over on the way out, so you know what needs fixing before it goes back in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge extra to come to Kalispell?
No. We are fifteen minutes out and in town most weeks anyway.
Can you build a deck that connects to my dock?
Yes, and it is worth doing as one job. The grade between the house and the water is where most of the design problems live.
How far ahead do I need to book a dock build?
The earlier the better for a summer build. Repairs and seasonal work we can usually fit in sooner.
Do you work on docks you did not build?
Yes. Most aluminum systems. Send a couple of photos and we will tell you what we are looking at.
What does a custom dock cost?
It depends on size, sections, and what you want on it. Call (406) 210-6218 and describe the spot, and we can give you a range before we come out.
