Project Scope

We were hired to remove an old dock and put in a new one while connecting to the entry steps that already existed. The old dock required removing steel poles that were 15+ feet in length and stuck into the mud bottom; we used custom tools to remove the old legs from their decades of settling in the muck. After cutting apart the wood and removing the poles we then hauled it away.

The new dock was installed using existing sections and hardware that the homeowner had already refinished. We modified the existing hardware and created new brackets as required. The bottom was very challenging with approximately five feet of muck before a hard anchoring surface was reached. We sourced new poles to extend through the soft muck to the hard bottom and installed custom augers to stabilize each post. We also built and installed custom bracing to stabilize the dock so walking on it feels solid.

Client Testimonial

"After nearly two years of unsuccessfully trying to find a contractor who would work with us on a very difficult dock project, we finally found AP Solutions and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Unlike all of the others, Aaron and Paula weren’t daunted by unique issues we faced such as the problematic removal of our old dock and what they knew would be a troublesome installation of the new one given severe challenges like very deep muck and fallen tree debris in the lake. Everyone else either refused to take on the job at all or quoted us an insanely exorbitant price. But AP Solutions said, “We’ll figure out a way to get it done and make it affordable for you.” Aaron and Paula even imagined, designed and built specialized equipment specifically for our particular installation. They manufactured specialized parts to ensure extra dock stability. They also happily worked with us to find ways to save money by reusing some of the supplies and decking we already had on hand. Aaron and Paula are not only extremely hardworking, flexible, responsive and highly skilled but they are very nice people, too. I really cannot recommend AP Solutions strongly enough."

Project Scope

We were hired to arrange the waterfront at a lake front property. With a new boat purchase the family needed their single long dock changed into two separate docks with two boat lifts. They also wanted both boat lifts configured for the water level and boats. To complete this, we found missing parts in the bay, positioned the lifts and floating dock pieces

For the boat lifts we created custom mounting brackets for the boat lift canopy, adjust the legs, adjusted the cradle, and installed a new new winch motor.

Client Testimonial

"We had hired a company to put in our boat lifts and they left our waterfront like pick up sticks. Nothing was in the correct place. They had dropped one of the boat lift legs and pins in the water and didn't retrieve them. We couldn't function like it was and definitely couldn't put our boats on the lifts. So we hired AP Solutions to come out and move everything. They found the missing pieces. They adjusted both lifts for the water level. They moved pretty much every single part. Aaron & Paula made our waterfront beautiful and functional."
