The dock is half the reason you bought the house
On Lake LBJ, the waterfront is the living room. It's also the part of the property that takes the most abuse: constant sun, boat wakes, summer storms, and the occasional floating debris after heavy rain upstream. And unlike a leaky faucet, a problem at the dock usually isn't discovered until the moment you want to use it.
What we watch
Your dock, every week. A look at the dock's condition is part of every weekly exterior walk-through. If something has shifted, come loose, or been damaged since last week, we see it — and you hear about it from us.
Your watercraft, before every visit. As part of pre-visit prep, we check your watercraft so you're not finding a dead battery with the whole family standing on the dock in life jackets.
Fuel, if you'd like. Ask, and we'll have the boat fueled before you arrive.
When something needs fixing
We are not marine mechanics or dock builders, and we don't pretend to be. What we do is make sure the right specialist gets called, gets access, and gets the job done properly — the same maintenance management process we use for the rest of your home. After more than two decades in the Highland Lakes, we know who to call.
A note on Lake LBJ
Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, which is one of the things that makes it so good for waterfront living: your dock isn't left high and dry when Central Texas goes through a drought. But "constant level" doesn't mean nothing changes. The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) manages the lake and the dams, moves floodwater through the chain during heavy rains, and from time to time schedules a drawdown so owners can work on docks and retaining walls. Having someone local who is paying attention to conditions at your dock is part of what we mean by always ready.
