CRIB DOCKS

We use new Douglas Fir timbers for the cribs, stringers and crossers. There are several choices for decking materials, the most popular being Cedar and pressure treated Spruce. We ensure the cribs are well positioned on the lake bottom to guarantee a solid foundation for the deck surface and potential boathouse. If bearing on rock, we drill and install steel pins to secure the cribs to ensure no uplift, slipping or shifting.

BOATHOUSES

Our experience in boathouse construction allows us to propose materials and construction methods that are crucial to prolonging the lifespan of your boathouse. We work with you on the design and acquire the required approvals to get the project started.

DOCK REPAIR

Every spring in Muskoka, docks and boathouses are exposed to severe conditions that can result in significant damage or decreased lifespan. We repair, re-level and replace docks including those supporting existing boathouses.

STEEL DOCKS

In depths over ten feet or where the lake bed is unsuitable, driven steel piles are the best way to support your dock and boathouse structure. We will meet you, assess your shoreline and advise you on the most suitable dock construction for your needs.  See our “Project Blog” page for some examples of our past dock and boathouse projects in Muskoka.


Big or small, we’ll ensure your project meets every expectation.

We heard of Wicks Construction through a neighboring cottager. We hired them to demolish our existing dock and boathouse and build us a new 3 slip steel dock and boathouse as well as a crib swim dock. They provided us a fixed quote the proceeded to take care of the rest including a minor variance, site plan approval, and then permits. They were professional and we are very pleased with the quality of their work. We do not hesitate to recommend them.

I was not sure if I should replace my entire dock and boathouse due to its age. I saw Wicks Construction working on a project across the bay and called them to talk about my options. They told me the boathouse was still ok and that the only the dock needed to be repaired. They demolished the old dock, extended the existing cribs and installed a new dock on top without disturbing the boathouse. Now my dock sits higher out of the water and looks fantastic. They were very helpful and easy to deal with.

I approached Wicks Construction with the request to upgrade my floating swim dock to a floating helicopter landing pad. My property was maxed out in site coverage and this was my only option. They worked with their engineers and came up with a design then executed the work. It was impressive to see how the project took shape and I was very pleased with their attention to detail on this difficult project. (see pics in “Wicks Blog”)

    Building a Boathouse on Lake Muskoka

      The most cost effective way to build a dock and boathouse is with a barge.  This is the case not only for island properties.  Even on the mainland shores, bringing the materials via barge to the project is significantly more efficient than having the materials delivered by truck and then carried by hand, often down […]
