The splash zone does the damage — the band that is wet at high tide and dry at low, wet and dry twice a day, every day. Timber and fasteners fail there first, and it is the hardest part to inspect because it is the part you are standing above.
Decking and stringers are the visible repair and usually the straightforward one. What matters is checking the pilings and the connections while the boards are up, because that is the only cheap moment to find out.
Dock work in South Carolina is regulated. Repairs, replacements and any change to footprint can involve OCRM and, on some waterways, the Corps of Engineers. What that means practically is that permitting is part of the schedule rather than an afterthought, and a contractor who does not raise it has not done many.

Frequently, and it is the sensible repair when the frame and pilings are sound. The time to establish that is while the boards are off, because after they go back it is a much more expensive question to answer.
