How frequent do you visit maintenance customers?
Under our maintenance program, we visit your boat dock by boat every two weeks, we check its position and condition and we adjust the dock out or in according to the water level. We check the weather forecast and adjust for a two-week window keeping the dock as close to shore as possible. We visit the dock on a Wednesday so that you are in good shape for the weekend. Learn more about our maintenance program here. Or contact us to schedule your dock maintenance!
Will I be involved in the design process?
Absolutely. We will take into account your specific vision and desires and will be in communication with you from start to finish to make sure your dock is 100% customized. Contact us for your quote!
What is the warranty on your docks?
We offer a 3 year warranty on all of our docks.
What are your docks made out of?
All components are manufactured out of bare steel and then sent out to be hot-dipped galvanized. The components are then bolted together during assembly of the dock in order to maintain the galvanized seal and prevent corrosion. Hot-dipped galvanized steel is by far the strongest and longest lasting material for fresh water docks.
