Docks and Landings

So what is your ride? Canoe, Paddle Boat, Fishing Boat, Sail Boat, Ski Boat, Bowrider, Or a Highspeed cruser? Well whatever it is I am sure you need a secure place to tie up that toy. Rave Contracting will help you design and build a dock that will serve your needs. Crib style, floater or combination we can do it all. Cedar or Presure treated your choice.


Above is a dock that was constructed with 2 sections, 1 is a deck platform 14' x 24' with a 6' x 30' extension that allows the floater to extend out to the deeper water. This solid dock was constructed out of Pressure treated timbers and decking.

This cedar dock is 44'x8'

Big enough to hold you own boat and seating for lots more.

We at Rave can bring in the right peaple to take care of all your electrical, Gas, and Propane needs. If you need it done right then let Rave do it with Licensed Qualified peaple so you too can relax in comfort.

Basement Renovation

Remodelling or finishing the basement is the perfect way to increase the living area of your home. Finished basements are ideal for recreation rooms, wet bars and additional bedrooms if planned properly. Rave Contracting specializes in basement renovations by focusing on the things that make a difference like designing to maximize space, improving basement waterproofing and insulation (thermal and sound), selecting the right windows and enabling natural lighting.

Here is a project we completed that created a warm, lighted area to hang out and watch tv. Rave installed a fireplace in the rec room to provide that cozy feeling.

Here are some after & before pics of another recent renovation.
