Frequently Asked Questions about Docks, Piers, and Pilings
Which piling materials work best in saltwater or brackish water conditions in Coastal Maryland?
Treated timber pilings are the most popular choice among homeowners near OCMD.
Can older docks be reinforced with new pilings?
If the existing structure is sound, pilings can be replaced to add stability and strength to an existing dock. Martin’s Marine Construction can provide a free, no-commitment consultation to help you determine if replacement is an option for your dock.
What safety concerns mean it’s time to replace a dock, pier, or piling?
Excessive movement, like shifting and swaying, is an indication that your waterfront structure is unstable. Rotted or deteriorated pilings and loose connections or framing issues are also signs it’s time to replace all or part of your dock, pier, or pilings.
How Does a Quality Dock or Pier Improve Waterfront Property Value?
Water access distinguishes your property from neighboring waterfront homes. Investing in an access point for boats, kayaks, or jet skis increases property value. Addressing saltwater or storm damage can restore the safety and stability of your waterfront structure and extend the life of your dock.
How Long Do Marine Pilings Typically Last?
Pilings last between 20-50 years, depending on the material. Martin’s Construction uses wood pilings, which fall in that lifespan.
