The price for Dock removal has skyrocketed the past few years…It seemed to have started with Covid as lots of new cabin owners were unfamiliar with the process or didn’t want to do it, then outfits lost employees and couldn’t put a crew together (happened on my lake) and it now seems like the main players all have upgraded to the big barge setups that cost big $$, so the prices went up…
If your dock has wheels, then you just let gravity help and just push it out yourself in the spring, pulling it all out in the fall on the other hand, either get a ATV/winch or hire it out, obviously shoreline makeup (flat/hilly/rocky) makes all the difference as well…
