What We Do
We specialize in seasonal dock and boat lift installation and removal for homeowners across Northern Michigan.
Dock Installation
Get your dock installed straight, level, and exactly where you want it. We'll make sure everything is properly set up so it's ready for summer.
Dock Removal
We'll carefully remove your dock without unnecessary wear or damage, then stack everything neatly on shore so it's ready for the spring.
Hoist Installation & Removal
Get your hoist properly positioned and leveled in the spring, then carefully removed and stored on shore when the season ends.
