Serving Lake Charlevoix, Round Lake, Pine River Channel, and Charlevoix County's most desirable waterfront properties. Trusted by lakefront homeowners for over 20 years.
Lake Charlevoix is Michigan's third-largest inland lake — 17,260 acres of some of the most coveted waterfront real estate in the state. From the town of Charlevoix on the Lake Michigan side to Boyne City and East Jordan at the lake's far end, shoreline conditions vary significantly. We know all of them.
Round Lake — the protected harbor in downtown Charlevoix — has its own unique dock dynamics, with heavier boat traffic and exposure through the Pine River Channel to Lake Michigan conditions. Whether your property is on the open lake, a protected bay, or the channel itself, we have the experience to get the work done right.
Lake Charlevoix's size means it generates substantial wave action in strong winds. Open-lake properties on the north and west shores see significantly more wave exposure than protected bays near Boyne City. We design and build accordingly — using appropriate post anchoring and dock configurations that handle the lake's full range of conditions.
The lake's depth — averaging over 35 feet — also means that dock post length and anchoring technique must be selected carefully. We assess your specific site before recommending any system.
We know Lake Charlevoix from the town docks to the East Jordan arm.
We serve the entire Lake Charlevoix shoreline — Charlevoix, Boyne City, East Jordan, and all properties on both arms of the lake. One company, one call, the whole lake covered.
Open-water properties on Lake Charlevoix face significant wave action. We engineer dock systems for each site's specific exposure — not a one-size-fits-all approach that fails after the first big storm.
We've been doing this work on Charlevoix County lakes for over two decades. Our reputation is built on honest pricing, quality work, and showing up when we say we will.

Call (231) 227-8885"We have a north-facing property on Lake Charlevoix that takes a lot of wave action. Most dock installers I called didn't really understand the exposure. Great Lakes Dock Works came out, assessed it properly, and recommended a heavier-duty system. Two seasons in and it's solid — no issues. They clearly know this lake."
"Fast, fair, and professional. Our boat lift on Lake Charlevoix needed a full cable replacement and the cradle re-leveled. Great Lakes Dock Works was out within three days, did the job in one visit, and the lift runs perfectly. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone on the lake."

Full service: dock repair, new installation, seasonal removal, lift repair, and new lift installation. Lake Charlevoix's size and depth require experience — we have it.
