Before you call

Questions Chris hears often.

How often should I service my boat lift?

Chris offers monthly and quarterly maintenance packages. He can discuss a schedule based on your lift, how often you use it, its condition, and the manufacturer's guidance. Share when it was last serviced and any concerns; the checklist and price are agreed before service starts.

I bought a new boat. Can my current lift be adjusted to fit it?

Chris provides boat lift modifications and custom boat fitting. Send the boat's make, model, and weight information, along with your lift's brand and capacity label if available. He needs to review the boat and lift before confirming suitability or planning changes.

I bought a house with a lift. Can you replace rotten or split bunks?

Yes. Chris offers bunk replacement for existing boat lifts. Share the property location, photos of the bunks and complete lift, and whether a boat is currently on it. Mention any fitting changes or custom guide poles you also need.

Can you repair a gate at my property?

Yes. Chris works on residential and commercial gates and railings. Send photos of the damaged area and the whole gate, along with your location, so he can discuss the repair and access to the property.

Can a mobile welder come to repair my boat railings?

Yes. Chris provides mobile welding and aluminum and stainless steel repairs on boats. Share your boat's location, photos of the railing, and access details. If you do not know the metal type, start with what you know and Chris can help with the next steps.
