Dock Building & Services
What dock services do you offer?+
New dock construction, repairs, swim platforms, concrete decking, additions and upgrades, roof raises, concrete piers, re-foaming, dock removal, and an annual Dock Wellness maintenance program.
Do you build both residential and commercial docks?+
Yes. We handle residential lakefront docks and commercial marinas, from new construction and structural repairs to annual maintenance.
Do you offer free dock inspections?+
Yes. We provide free, no-pressure on-site dock inspections. Call (573) 745-4130 or request one through our contact form and we will reach out within 24 hours.
How long does it take to build a new dock?+
Most of the lead time is Ameren permitting and scheduling rather than the build itself. After your free on-site inspection we handle the permitting groundwork and give you a clear timeline along with a line-item estimate. Larger or custom builds take longer than a standard replacement.
How long does a dock last at Lake of the Ozarks?+
A well-built dock lasts for many years when it is maintained. Flotation foam, hardware, and decking each wear at their own pace, so an annual inspection catches small issues before they become structural. Keeping up with that care is the focus of our Dock Wellness program.
Can Big Thunder Marine detail or repair my boat?+
Yes. Big Thunder Marine's shop at Glencove Marina, 147 Glencove Blvd. in Lake Ozark, does detailing, bottom paint, upholstery, isinglass (custom and repair), canvas, carpeting, and fiberglass repair and paint.
WaveBaffle
What is WaveBaffle, and are you a dealer?+
WaveBaffle is an engineered wave-attenuation system that absorbs wake energy to protect your dock and calm your shoreline. Big Thunder is an authorized WaveBaffle dealer and installer.
How is WaveBaffle different from a traditional breakwater?+
A traditional breakwater reflects wave energy back into the lake, while WaveBaffle absorbs it. WaveBaffle removes up to 85% of a wave's energy and reflects almost none back, protecting your dock and calming the water around it. It installs in modular 20-foot and 40-foot galvanized steel sections and is Ameren approved.
