We have had a house on the chain for many years. Brittney and her team are always amazing with getting our lifts & docks installed and removed For us each season! I can't recommend them enough from the office staff to guys on the field! EXCELLENT!

Ben and his crew did an amazing job with my boat port install. They even went above and beyond by fitting me in after their work schedule was over for the day. Highly recommend Captain Rod's and can't wait to get on the lake all summer!

Absolutely phenomenal service. The crew of four guys got our 3 docks in perfectly. Could not have been an easier install. Got everything done right. Looking forward to using this Captain Rod's for years to come.
