Lake Gaston & Kerr Lake

Installed at Your Lake House Dock

Lake Gaston and Kerr Lake sit along the North Carolina–Virginia line, and many boats there live on a lift or at a private dock all season.

There’s no need to pull the boat and tow it anywhere. We come to the dock, template every surface, CNC-cut the deck in our shop and come back to install it, so you lose as little lake time as possible.

Pontoons and tritoons get cushioned, cooler floors, wake and ski boats get swim platform grip, and bass boats get quiet casting decks with fish rulers.

Do you cover both Lake Gaston and Kerr Lake?

Yes. We travel to lake homes and docks on both lakes. Call or text to schedule your template visit.

How do I take care of foam decking?

Rinse it with fresh water and scrub with mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid harsh solvents and stiff brushes.
