Pricing on Old Hickory Lake
We believe you should never have to choose between quality and affordability. Here's what to expect:
- Dock repairs start at a $500 minimum service fee, up to several thousand depending on scope
- New floating docks with single covered slips typically starting around $25,000. On Old Hickory Lake, most projects stay under $50,000 due to Corps of Engineers size limitations
- Boat lifts installed from $9,000 for smaller capacities; $15,000+ for larger models
Every project gets a detailed quote upfront — no surprises.
Permitting on Old Hickory Lake
Old Hickory Lake is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, which means any new dock or major modification requires a permit. We handle that process for you. Permitting typically takes 5–6 weeks. We manage the paperwork, communicate with the Corps, and keep you updated every step of the way. You focus on planning your dock — we'll handle the red tape.
Booking & Lead Times
We stay busy — especially during peak season. Here's what to plan for:
- March through November: 12–14 weeks out from contract to construction start
- December through February: 6–8 weeks out
The earlier you reach out, the sooner we can get you on the schedule. Spring and summer slots fill fast.
