Ways to Save

• Repair before it becomes a rebuild — a $1,000 float or decking repair now beats a $20,000+ rebuild after a few more winters.
• Bundle work — if you need a lift and decking done, one mobilization trip is cheaper than two.
• Know your permit history — if you have your original Corps permit paperwork, it speeds up scoping a rebuild significantly.
