Custom Dock/Boat Well Installation

Michigan's Trusted Waterfront Specialist

A custom boat well dock installation offers superior protection, convenience, and longevity for your vessel. Unlike standard docking solutions, a custom-built boat well is designed to fit your specific boat size, shoreline conditions, and usage needs. It provides enhanced stability, secure mooring, and protection against waves, currents, and harsh weather. Custom docks can also include added features like reinforced seawalls, bumpers, and easy-access walkways for a safer and more efficient docking experience. With high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship, a custom boat well dock ensures long-term durability while increasing the value and functionality of your waterfront property.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Incredible job!!! The entire team was professional and they transformed our seawall and the surrounding area to a like new condition. The seawall was significantly heaved from years of winter but they were able to drive it back into position and add the tiebacks to make it durable going forward!! I would highly recommend SMP, when they finished they cleaned and swept all the areas that they used to stage the material. Very professional and awesome to do business with!! PT

PT Muldoon Review

Steve was great to work with. Kept us updated through the whole process since we were out of town during the installation. Very professional and thorough. The seawall transformation is awesome and we are getting lots of compliments on it. Highly recommend Steve and SMP Contracting for your next seawall.

Michael Haupfear Review

SMP (Steve) was very professional from his initial meeting through cleanup and everything in between. The workmanship on the steel retaining wall is a work of art and he was able to transform the area around my barn into a 100% usable area while providing the reinforcement that the framing of the barn required. I had high expectations for this project and he exceeded them with the end result. You would not go wrong by using SMP Contracting on your next job.

Scott Vander Ploeg Review

Steve and his team went out of their way to make our timeframe worked despite the weather this summer. Steve is methodical with the layout and engineering. Pricing was overly competitive to the competition and we are very happy that we landed with SMP. This retaining wall is going nowhere for a century. And it holds our entire house and driveway up. Pictures to come. They were as immaculate with prep and cleanup, as they were price and timeframe. Thank you SMP.
