<p>Dock Works was started six years ago by Matt Williams, owner of Falls&#8217; MHW Construction.</p><p>&#8220;We do custom built docks,&#8221; Williams said. &#8220;We have equipment that is capable of doing pile driving and we can transport a barge from lake to lake. We drive pressure-treated pilings into the lake bed and that&#8217;s our foundation. From there we can build docks and boat houses on top of that.&#8221;</p><p>Dock Works&#8217; jobs are usually within 20 to 30 miles from Falls, but Williams said they&#8217;ve traveled as far as 60 miles to build, remove and repair marine construction.</p><p>Representatives from the business will be on hand from March 4-6 at BIA&#8217;s Northeast PA Home Showcase at the Mohegan Sun Hotel &amp; Convention Center.</p><p>Dock Works&#8217; projects range from 10-foot by 20-foot docks to multi-level boathouses with up to 1,200 square feet of docking area.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve done projects of all sizes and all caliber, from a small floating dock to a very large pile driven dock,&#8221; Williams said. &#8220;We&#8217;re a very unique business. It&#8217;s a very specialized, niche market.&#8221;</p><p>According to Dock Works&#8217; website, <a href="http://www.dockworkspa.com/" target="_blank">dockworkspa.com</a>, services offered include boat lifts, dock repair and removal, bulkheads and retaining walls and the aforementioned pile driving and dock and boat house construction.</p><p>Williams doesn&#8217;t recall seeing docks advertised at past home shows he attended, and he said Dock Works plans to have a before and after slideshow, brochures and an employee on-hand to provide information and answers to potential customers. Dock Works is currently booking jobs for the 2016 dock building season.</p><p>For more information, visit dockworkspa.com or call Dock Works at 570-585-2530.</p><style>
