Pier Perfection
The one stop shop for your dream dock

By Rebecca Blackson

When it comes to designing, building, and installing the dock of your dreams, Pier Perfection in Southwest Michigan is the one-stop shop that can do it all. Unlike some companies who only source materials, Pier Perfection’s professional and experienced crew will assist you every step of the way—from design to installation, repair, and removal services.

Whether you’re in need of a custom dock, pier or boat lift with all the bells and whistles or a simpler design, Pier Perfection will work with you to bring your vision to life. No matter how simple your design may seem, they treat every job as a custom install perfect for your needs. If you’re unsure of what you want or what’s available, you can find links and ideas on their Design Your Boat Lift webpage.

For the past 20 years, Pier Perfection has offered affordable yet innovative, high-quality docks and boat lifts that will endure the test of time. With someone on staff seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the company provides excellent customer service and high-caliber equipment. What began as a small dock and lift company now serves a large territory based in Cassopolis, Mich., with a second location in Syracuse, Ind.

Pier Perfection offers a range of high-quality aluminum, vinyl, rolling, and floating pier options, including the brands ShoreStation, FLOE, and Hart Fab. Vinyl piers are manufactured by Twin Bay Docks in Traverse City, Mich.

For those seeking a more permanent solution in areas that are deep, murky, or in small bodies of water, Pier Perfection offers CanDock and WaveArmour floating piers. Their lift product line mirrors pier products as they offer ShoreStation and FLOE lifts. Both of these manufacturers offer top-of-the line technology, durability, and protection for your boat. Seasonal services include installing piers and lifts in the spring and removing them in the fall. Their retail locations also sell top marine brands such as Costa Sunglasses, Helly Hansen, LilliPad Marine and more.

Pier Perfection uses a five-step process for all of their boat lift and lake dock/pier installations. From the initial consultation and designing to final delivery and installation, they make sure every step of the process is done as efficiently as possible.

During a consultation, Pier Perfection will help you determine all of your needs for your pier and/or boat lift, then design options for systems that meet the right specifications of liability and efficiency that suit your needs. Once a contract is signed, your install will be scheduled. For boat lifts, as much assembly as possible is done at the shop. Most docks and piers are assembled at the customer’s residence prior to installation in the water. Pier Perfection has all of the special permits, insurance, and a trailer to haul your boat lift down the road to your boat launch safely and legally. The boat lift is then transported across the body of water with a one-of-a-kind work barge to your property’s edge. Every dock is installed carefully by section to create a level pier system.

Pier Perfection takes pride in all of their designs and installations with a goal to always have secure, straight, and level systems—putting your mind at ease and your boat easily accessible on the water. For more information visit www.pierperfection.com.
