Default Seasonal Dock Crank Up / Crank Down Services

Looking for suggestion on companies that do dock crank up / crank down each season.

Have been using Watermark the past 2 years but costs have gotten a bit ridiculous (>$4800 per year).

Anyone have any alternate suggestions?

We have a 3 finger crank up setup. All poles are stored onsite along with the removable dock planks.

Thanks!

Jon Douglas, Douglas Marine is excellent and a good value. He's done my crank up dock and swim raft for the past 10 years or so, and also rebuilt both my dock and my neighbor's crib dock. I think he worked at Watermark before that. If the phone on this page does not work, DM me

www.islandconstructionnh.com is located on Bear Island close to Cattle Landing, and builds and services crank-up hinge docks.

Is a totally different business than Island Service Co, also in Meredith.

Located in Wolfeboro.

We’ve used Douglas in the last to add stairs to our dock. I’ll give them a call later in the season
