I began my company back in 1974 on a part time basis while I was teaching. I wanted to start a business that there would be a demand for in lake areas and a business I could do in the summer. I came up with the idea of year around pier / dock that never has to be removed or installed every year. I have never had a customer in 39 years that I know of that has ever been sorry that they made this wonderful investment for their waterfront. Come spring, your pier is their waiting for you to use, and come fall you don't have to get in the water and remove it or hire someone to do that. We build these piers / docks in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, N.Y. & Maine.
