New dock & happy customer !

AKADQ · 08-12-2013, 05:15 PM

It was torture on making a decision on what to replace our old dock with, especially after reading many post on the forum on this subject. I wanted a seasonal crank up dock and my wife wanted to keep the existing crib dock. So after meeting,talking & getting quotes with several dock installers, they all said the same thing " keep your existing crib dock", so we did.
After getting all the quotes & install dates for when the dock could be installed, it was easy on making our decision to go with Ambrose Marine Construction for many reasons:
1. If the Town of Meredith used this company to repair their dock earlier this spring, than that was a good sign.
2. Although we got a lot of good prices, Ambrose came in 38% less than everyone else.
3. After meeting with Tobin the owner in May/June, he told me it could be installed in July. Some people may frown upon having a barge on their lake front in July but I was ok with it because a lot of other company's couldn't do it till late fall.
4. Tobin said he would be onsite for one week and he and the crew did just that, no hanging around.
So if anyone is looking at replacing their old dock, you can't go wrong with Ambrose Marine Construction, they exceeded our expectations !

That dock is perfect for hitting tennis with a .....google "tennis trainer" ....something new to do on a smooth wood dock like this........loose the fat.......play tennis trainer....basically a tennis ball attached to a 30-foot rubber band.....and lots of fun to hit!

That looks fantastic. We will be needing a new dock soon so we will make sure to give them a call.
