About Wisconsin Pier and Dock Services
Your Trusted Dock & Lift Experts.
Built on Experience. Driven By Quality
In 2021, we founded Wisconsin Pier & Dock Services with a simple goal: provide reliable, high-quality waterfront services that our customers can count on.
Today, we proudly serve homeowners throughout Southeastern Wisconsin with complete dock and boat lift solutions, including installation and removal, transportation, repairs and maintenance, storage, new dock and lift sales, boat lift motors, and specialized barge services.
While Wisconsin Pier & Dock Services was established in 2021, our experience on the water goes back even further. With over ten years of hands-on experience in the dock and lift industry, we bring the knowledge, equipment, and attention to detail needed to handle everything from routine seasonal service to larger waterfront projects.
We remain personally involved in the work we do. Whether we’re installing a new waterfront system, removing equipment for the season, making repairs, or tackling a challenging barge project, we take pride in doing the job safely, efficiently, and the right way.
And when lake season ends, our work doesn’t. During the winter months, we provide dependable snow removal and ice management services, helping keep driveways, sidewalks, and properties clear throughout Wisconsin winters.
Lake life is in our roots, and we’re here to help you enjoy yours — from summer days on the water to winter mornings with a clear driveway.

Our Barge

Built from lightweight, durable aluminum, it delivers exceptional stability, shallow-water capability, and strong lifting power for even the toughest waterfront jobs. The fork system allows us to move, position, and install lifts and dock sections with precision and efficiency, making it the perfect tool for professional, reliable service.
