Durham & Chapel Hill

Between Two Great Lakes

Durham and Chapel Hill boaters are minutes from Jordan Lake and Falls Lake, and most boats spend the week on a trailer at home.

That makes it easy for us. We come to your driveway, garage or storage lot to template the boat, then come back to install the finished deck. No towing across the Triangle and no dropping the boat off for a week.

The most common job here is replacing worn or moldy carpet on bass boats and lake boats with closed-cell foam that won’t hold water. We also do full decks, casting deck pads with fish rulers, and matching cooler and helm pads.
