Looking for the most Dependable Door County Dock Installation?
You deserve to work with a dock installer that actually:
· Answers the phone.
· Returns your calls.
· Responds to text and emails.
· Gets the job done on time. and
· Gives you the service and attention you deserve.
If this is what you demand, talk to Jerry at Pier & Waterfront Solutions
Since its inception in 2015 Pier & Waterfront Solutions (PWS) has consistently provided on-time installation and service.
The exception has been in 2018 when Nature decided to deposit 30″ of fresh snow in Mid May when the flowers should be coming up. To make matters worse, she kept the water frozen all the way into the first week of June. This prevented us from getting into the water and delayed the installation season by 30 days. The result was an installation season cut short by 50%.
Our crews worked 70 hour weeks to try to catch up and were able to get 90% in before the Memorial Day holiday. There was no way to make it up completely.
PWS increased its fleet of All -Terrain-Forklifts (ATF) in 2018
All Terrain Vehicle #3
All Terrain Forklifts #1 & 2

What is a Water Surge like on the Bay of Green Bay?
A water surge is the result of strong winds usually coming from the north-northeast. These winds cause the water to move south along the Door County Penninsula into the Fox River in Green Bay. The water eventually moves against the DePere Dam on the south end.
As the water accumulates at the dam it begins to back up into the Bay raising the water level. This can amount to inches or several feet depending on the strength and duration of the winds. An example would be on Aug. 4, 2017.
On that date, the Bay of Green Bay experienced a storm “surge” of at least 3 – 4 feet.
This particular “surge” raised the level of the Bay throughout the early morning hours. Most people were not even aware of what was happening. As a result, they did not have an opportunity to do anything to protect their docks or boats. The wind velocity continued to rise throughout the day.
Those winds caused waves of 4’- 9’ on top of the water surge. The damages to shorelines, docks. boats and lifts were considerable.
People reported waves bouncing their boat on their lifts for hours. Many could only watch as the waves swept their dock decking away. Others watched helplessly as their boats were swept off their lifts. (You don’t want that to happen with weak or damaged cables.)
There was considerable damage to boats, docks, decking and boat lifts. Recovery efforts took several weeks, and repairs are ongoing.
What can you learn from this storm?
Check with your Insurance Company now.
A final point, check with your insurance company to see if you have coverage in the event your boat is swept off the lift. What about your boat lift? Is it covered for storm damage?
This may require a “rider” to get coverage. Many insurance companies cover wind damage but not wave damage. It’s all in how you word the claim. Your agent should be able to assist you to make sure you have the proper coverage.
Also, check for boat and/or lift salvage coverage (a worst case scenario.)
