Default Dock Damage - HELP!

Hi Folks,
Well, we thought we escaped any ice damage this year, but over the weekend the wind and rain pushed a large sheet of ice over Meredith bay right up against our shoreline and destroyed our dock. It was raised, but the lower legs were caught and the whole dock was ripped down and bent/folded 90 degrees until it was underwater and parallel to shore (UNREAL to see)! We got an un-Godly estimate already and another estimate from someone who seems he can salvage most of it. The aluminum is very straight, the pieces/braces that did break are broken at the welds. The second guy thinks he can essentially re-assemble what we have but it may be 1-2" narrower as he would need to cut the welds clean and re-do them. Without mentioning the companies that came today, who has a good (no, a great) dock repair company they would recommend or at least those to stay away from? It's an aluminum frame with 5 4x6 posts per side (posts are fine as well -- all 10). As a matter of fact, you can see the exact dock in one of the aerial photos I took of Meredith bay the day before it happened and see 100+ yards of open water in front of it Never saw this one coming, those winds Saturday night were apparently pretty nasty.

Any help is appreciated!!!!
