Got on this website to get their address for a customer I am referring . Did not know they had a website. None the less these guys KNOW THEIR STUFF !! We had them do extensive dock work and we have them do erosion control on the lakeside this spring. If Shaun tells you the way it should be done LISTEN ! He does not take shortcuts.

I am the owner of The Cove Carry-Out, Shepherds Shoreline Construction, did all of the sheet piling, dredging, boat-well and docks. The docks are strong, sturdy & beautiful! They opened up the Cove's entrance and The Cove and the community benefited from this greatly. I would highly recommend Shepherds Shoreline Construction.
