Dock removal can seem like a big job, especially when you’re anxious to close up your cottage for the season and get back to the grind of daily life. While dock removal can prevent this structure from damage due to heavy winds, snow, and ice, you may wonder if it’s really necessary during the cottage closing process.
While dock removal sounds like it could be a pain, it’s actually a relatively quick process and even easier if you have our team at Husky Property Maintenance take over the job. In fact, most docks are built for removal, which can make moving them away from the water generally simple. For example, roll-in-and-out docks are easy for a few people to maneuver. If you have a floating dock, these structures are also lightweight and extremely portable, and must be removed from the lake for the winter to avoid damage. When we look after your dock removal, we’ll place it in your desired location, or make a recommendation of a good place to leave it for the winter.
After we remove your dock from the water, we’ll store it on the necessary blocking to keep your dock off the ground and protect it from any damage caused by spending the next several months lying on the ground. By ensuring natural air flow, this will keep you frame dry and clean for the spring. We can also come and install it again in the spring, which is usually a bigger job than removal.
Dock removal is just one of the many cottage closing services we offer, and we’d be happy to perform other tasks to help you get your cottage ready for the winter season. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
