"Ian and the Legacy Decks team did a fantastic job rebuilding our deck. The quality of workmanship as well as the quality of employees was exceptional. The quoted schedule was met and the job site was left tidy and clean everyday. We will be using this deck for years to come and would not hesitate to recommend Legacy Decks to anyone looking for quality work and a stress free experience."

"The first thing that comes to mind is their honesty. No additional cost based on the price I was given on day 1. Total project took three days. He originally said it could take up to 4 days. These folks met and exceeded my expectations. This guy will show up at the door step on time so don't be late. Each day prior to leaving, Andrew updated us on what is going to happen tomorrow and what time to expect him. This guy will always get back to you on the phone even when you leave him a message. Andrew went and got our building permit for us which I had no clue we needed. I found out his background was in home building where he learned his trade. He also worked for big a Company out in Massachusetts as well Global Foundries during their construction phase here in Malta, New York. If you need a deck or dock this is your guy. If you need anything this guy can do it."

"I highly recommend Jerry Brammer of The Handyman Services for pretty much any construction needs and repair services you might have. Jerry has saved my life several times since I first hired him in Nov of 2016. I had literally gone through 6 contractors trying to renovate a duplex in Delmar dealing with issues including paying for work not done, work done incorrectly and simply trying to get them to show up. I was living in a demolition nightmare and at the end of my rope when I found Jerry. He was the first one to walk into my disaster with a positive attitude. He's been working for me ever since. I haven't found anything that Jerry can't handle and he approaches the problem as if he's working in his own home. He's honest, realistic, flexible and thorough all at a fair price. The work he has done for me includes electrical (repairing/installing lights and outlets), plumbing (replacing hot water heaters, repairing leaks, running new pipes, clearing sewer lines), carpentry (constructed a bedroom closet, a porch, trim work, etc), refinishing my wood floors, sheet rocking, taping and painting (interior & exterior), replaced gutters, installed fencing, cut down small trees with stump removal, landscaping and most recently put in a sidewalk."

When everything was dried up and ready to go, they sprayed a disinfectant or mildew protectant down in the cellar to eliminate the smell and made sure that the mildew was completely gone.  They were careful that I didn't stay there for a few hours so that I wouldn't breathe the fumes. (My husband was still out of town so it was just me.) Of course before they started to repair our walls and ceilings they installed new and better pipes for this old house with shut offs that we can easily get to if we ever encounter another problem. They worked extensively on the pipes. When they replaced or fixed the pipes that had burst, they turned on the water and discovered that it popped 3 or 4 other leaks in our old and worn out pipes. They had to replace all of them and rebuild 3 sides to a deteriorating wall in the cellar that was affected by the water gushing from the laundry room and could possibly cave in if it was left as it was.  The old sewer cast iron pipes were in unbelievably bad condition.  They needed to be fixed for sure. The guys worked way into the night to fix them.  They were very kind and considerate to me as they put it all back in temporary working order all along the way so that I wouldn't be left without the plumbing or water for too long a time at once.  I was so grateful for that and to get those awful deteriorating pipes fixed. They did a tremendous amount of backbreaking work in this old house. After the pipes were securely fixed and in good working order, they started in on putting my finished cellar back together. First they did the walls that needed new sheetrock and molding and a new coat of paint ( they look great) since the wallpaper that I had up there had gotten wet on the bottom. My stained ceilings were painted and leveled off too. Look great!   Also the rug was destroyed so we decided to put down a durable tile on the floor.  I am so pleased with how it looks.  They did it all very quickly and were done with the tile within 2 or 3 days. After it was all completely done, they also painted my stairs that were a mess by the time all of that up and down wear and tear on it was over. They also managed to get a small second bathroom back in working order. It hadn't worked right for years and I never thought it would ever work again, but they did it. They also hauled out a major amount of things that we needed to get rid of and brought it to the dump for us. Lots of work with just that.    It all looks great and I am very pleased with the work that they did. They are very prompt and were here when they said they were going to be here, they were very helpful to me and did some extra things that they didn't really have to do, they made sure that they did exactly what we wanted and gave us their advice as to what they thought would be best when we had no clue.  They are very kind and courteous and very trustworthy.  That right there means a lot to me. My furnace went off 2 or 3 times while they were working on everything and they were able to get it back on until our furnace repairman got there to replace some parts that got wet.   They still have to come back and rebuild my laundry room but since it was covered in ice from a very difficult winter, they couldn't get started on it until the temperatures rise a bit.  They need to replace the door that got warped but it is jammed up with ice right now.  I am confident that they will do as nice a job as they did downstairs. I probably forgot some of the things that they did but I think I covered the major things that were done.  Great guys, great work, great service.  Thank you Remod.

FAQs for water dock building service projects in Albany, NY

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
