Floating Dock & Gangway Removal in St. Simons Island, GA

On St. Simons the pile might sit on the bank behind a home in Harrington Landing or near the water at Gascoigne Bluff on the Frederica River.

Storms start a lot of these calls. After a stretch of bad weather the island’s schedule shifts fast toward debris and urgent cleanup, and a section that tore loose can end up in somebody else’s yard. We stay in touch through those weeks and work through the calls in the order that makes sense, without overpromising dates.

Most of a dock job is carrying. Ground near the marsh stays soft, and on the quieter north end the walk from the bank to where a truck can stand runs longer than anywhere else on the island. We budget the hands and the hours for that walk in the quote rather than discover it on the day.

Every load crosses the causeway on its way to Brunswick, and on summer weekends that drive adds real time at both ends. It’s already in the estimate.

From the pictures we count the sections, see what they’re built from, and decide how much needs to come apart where it lies — decking off, floats and frame separated — so each piece gets carried rather than dragged up the yard.

A dock that’s still in the water or still attached starts the same way. Every dock is different. Send us some photos and the location, and we’ll take a look and tell you what it takes.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

We figure out the right destination for each material once the dock is apart, and the load comes straight off the island to Brunswick.

Gangway, frame and hardware aluminum gets pulled out of the pile, and that metal is usually recycled as scrap, often at SA Recycling in Brunswick.

Waterlogged decking and broken floats are the part of a dock that goes to disposal.
