Custom dock construction for lakes, ponds, and rivers — designed and built by NC native Richard Nix.
The builder behind every dock
Custom Docks & Decks was built on one idea: every waterfront property deserves craftsmanship, not a kit. Richard Nix, a North Carolina native, brings unrivaled attention to detail and an uncommon eye for the way a dock should sit, feel, and hold.
Whether it's a quiet pond, a lake lot, or a river bank — Richard provides each project with the same steadfast commitment to completing the work on time and on budget.
What we build
From concept to completion, every dock is designed for your specific waterfront — the depth, the soil, the way you use the water. No two builds are alike.
Rise and fall with the water level. Ideal for reservoirs and lakes with fluctuating depths — built solid enough to step on with confidence at any level.
Traditional fixed piers anchored to the lakebed or riverbed. Built to stay put through seasons, weather, and the weight of everything you bring to the water.
Extend an existing dock, replace worn planking, or shore up aging structure. We bring the same care to repairs as we do to a build from the ground up.
The craft
Scroll slowly through the process.
Built by hand. Built to hold.
From the water's edge





Start here
Every project begins with a conversation about your property, how you use the water, and what you want the dock to do. No pressure — just honest answers.
