About Us
Building a dock service that grows with you.
Olm Dock Services is being built to be a scalable, quality-first operation. We're not chasing every job on the lake — we're choosing the right jobs, done the right way, by people who care about the work and the customer.
Quality and customer service come before quantity. Every dock and hoist we touch is a chance to prove that, and to earn the kind of trust that lasts season after season.
We want our customers to grow with us. Today that means dependable spring installs and fall removals. Tomorrow it means a full marine service handling docks, hoists, and the broader boating needs of northern Michigan.
Experience
Seven years of hands-on experience across the marine industry: three years working in the boat business, and four years installing and servicing residential docks and boat hoists throughout the Traverse City area. That background means we understand both the equipment and the shoreline, and we bring that know-how to every job.
"This job isn't fun, so let us do it!"
