"I had these guys install my dock for the first time this year. Scheduled right away and were here when they said they would be. Even came back when we figured out the last two sections had to wait until the water went down. Dock was straight and level. Professional and responsive."

"The Bassett Brothers are outstanding. Not only do they do great work - they are professional, excellent communicators (before and after the work), and extremely mindful of doing a good job. Equally notable…they are honest, fair and kind…you can just tell - they are good young men. I’d highly recommend them to anyone."

"One full season with Lake City Dock Removal & Installation and I’m happy I found these guys. The Bassett brothers did my spring install and fall removal for dock and boat lifts. They did an excellent job. They were also proactive with communication and scheduling to make sure that it fit my schedule. The guys were meticulous with the install and stacked everything carefully and neatly on the shore upon removal. Looking forward to continuing business with these guys and definitely recommend to anyone looking for excellent service."

A Little About Us

Hey there! We're Carson and Coleman, the two brothers behind Lake City Dock Removal & Installation.

Over the past few years, we've heard plenty of horror stories from homeowners. Docks that aren't straight or level, crews that show up without warning, and companies that are nearly impossible to get ahold of.

We don't think it should be that complicated.

When you hire us, you can expect us to show up when we say we will, keep you in the loop, and take the time to get things right. That means getting your dock straight and level or making sure everything is stacked neatly when we take it out.

At the end of the day, we want to be the guys you call every spring and fall!
