The last I checked down here ( Jacksonville Fl ) it was about a grand a stick. That is a 10 to 12 inch dia by 35 to 50 ft in length. Sounds way high to me.

The work includes providing the piles and driving them in. There are 8 piles @ 20 feet each and there are 2 piles at 30 feet each. The contract is for the pilings only, I will build the dock myself later. The contract includes providing the actual pilings. They are 10 inch diameter, they look like half length telephone poles. It will be done from land using a very tall crane and a vibration hammer. They quoted a price of $ 32,600.- I'm choking on the sticker shock here, can anyone tell me if this is even remotely reasonable?

Gotta, agree. Prices here in SW FL on par with what David quoted. Sound very high!

Shop around.....I had 5 or 6 estimates to do our 4 piling and did MUCH better. They like the sound of CASH also.
