TESTIMONIALS

"Responsible, responsive, professional. These are words I rarely associate with contractors. But these words all describe Shoreline Construction and Excavating to a tee. Derek and Suzanne have assembled a team of professionals that exceeded my wildest expectations when I first decided to engage their services. In addition to the high quality work that they perform, Shoreline excels in customer service and satisfaction. They are flexible in their approach to construction and communicate directly and frequently with their clients. You never have to wonder about the status of your project or how things are coming along. Shoreline proactively reaches out and keeps you informed every step of the way. They respond quickly and professionally to questions and concerns, and above all want a satisfied customer. I would highly recommend Shoreline Construction and Excavating for any construction needs you might have." -Aaron Ockerman

"Shoreline completed both our seawall and boat dock projects last year and they were wonderful to work with. They are very professional, get the job done right in a timely manner, and their quality of work exceeded my expectations. I love working with Shoreline and wouldn't consider anyone else for future marine construction projects on Indian Lake." -Bill Harnishfeger

"I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I am with the new boathouse and seawall you recently built for me. Working with you and your crew turned what I thought would be a complicated and painful process into a straight forward and enjoyable project. Your portfolio of completed projects and overall knowledge of construction at the lake were what originally convinced me to go with Shoreline Construction. Now that the project is done, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thanks again for a job well done." -Nick Will

"Shoreline was great to work with. Derek and Suzanne are customer focused and made sure every detail of project was explained to us. We love our new boat house and seawall, would recommend Shoreline to our family and friends." -Joe Pittel

"Shoreline was great to work with. New to Indian Lake and with a property that needed seawall repair I asked folks for references. Repeatedly I was told Shoreline was the one to go with for quality work and reliable schedule. From day one Derek was there on time did and excellent job assessing the project and making recommendations. We were fortunate to have good land and water access, the weather cooperated. Derek and crew went to work. We are really pleased the results exceeding my expectations. Particularly the restoration of existing seawall which was only planned for post replacement and a little straightening. Well they only know the right way to do things and it is straight with new deadmen. Derek and discussed the beach area several times, he listened and made it just the way I wished again adding the professional touch in case I was missing something. Suzanne was there keeping me informed every step of the way, working with the state for permits and such. The one challenge when you are so good is schedule, too many jobs. So it was really good to have the constant updates with realistic expectations and we are thrilled to have the work done for the season. If you have a waterfront project and you want it done right and appreciate working with good people, I whole heartedly recommend Shoreline! Quality lasts long after the deal." -Eric Jensen

"Just a note to express our satisfaction with the work you did at our cottage earlier this year; Aida and I are pleased to offer ourselves as references to potential customers. Friends recommended you to us based on work you did for them, and you did not disappoint. First, and perhaps of interest to others, I must admit that I was concerned the timetable for our project would “slip” when we scheduled it nearly a year out. It did not, we started within the window identified and work proceeded quickly to completion. Second, once the estimate was accepted, the price was set; I appreciate that. Third, and also much appreciated, was Derek and the crew’s willingness to engage at the job site. All of my concerns related to debris removal from the area, drainage from the yard and settling under the sidewalk were allayed. I am grateful you took the initiative to offer to return to pour the sidewalk and further minimize the emergence of cracks. Lastly, we commend you for your efforts to minimize the damage to our landscaping – other than the area of work itself, all was back to normal within a week. Again, thank you and all the best, personally and professionally." -Bob and Aida Norman

"Nice work, professionally done, on time, on budget, pleasant to work with AND (thanks to you primarily) GREAT COMMUNICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys will do well into the future if you can continue as you are now!" -Duane Hartzler

"Thank you so much for your help in planning our new seawall and dock project. We are very pleased with your work and the final result. It is absolutely beautiful!" -Susie and Mike Wallace

"We would like to extend our most sincere appreciation to Suzanne, Derek and the entire Shoreline crew that was involved in the demo and rebuild of our Indian Lake boathouse this past fall. We are very pleased with the final product and are looking forward to the coming summer season. We could not have been happier with the choice to use Shoreline for this project! Suzanne and Derek did an excellent job of communicating and keeping us informed of the construction progress, and we truly appreciate your flexibility, professionalism and patience."

"It was a pleasure working with Shoreline for the construction of our new seawall and boat dock. We are extremely happy with the quality of their work, as well as the ideas they offered throughout the project. They were professional and efficient. Their communication was excellent. They were receptive to the changes we desired throughout the construction process. Without question, we are glad we used Shoreline." -Fred and Robin Neumeier

"Superb customer service combined with unsurpassed skill and workmanship along with insistence on top quality- rare these days. But that's what I got from the folks at Shoreline. Derek and the crew exceeded my expectations with the quality of their work. Just as impressive was their courtesy and dependability. Add to that, Suzanne's impeccable customer relations and communication skills and you have the "Shoreline Experience." What a delight in these days when such excellence is seldom encountered." -L. H. Newcomb

"The boat dock looks great! It is drawing positive resoponses from everyone who checks it out, including lots of boaters. Thank you for the great job." -Gary Kociba

"The folks at Shoreline have been delightful to work with and the results have been fantastic. What more can be said? Maybe nothing but we'll say more anyway. Starting from their first visit to understand our needs, we have experienced a very caring organization. They gave us ideas to help us think through the project definition process. They listened and did not apply any pressure. The proposal was very consistent with our initial discussions and they were very prompt to answer questions and to modify the proposal if necessary. We were given realistic construction dates which they always tried to improve on- and often did. They were patient with our questions during construction. We enjoyed watching them work. They are very skilled and carful with their work. They know what they are doing and take the time to address pop-up issues thoroughly. Their enthusiasm for what they do is apparent. Even the invoicing process was painless. Whether it's the folks in the office or in the field we can't think of better people to work with. Oh and did we mention the results are fantastic? Oh yes. We did didn't we." -Rick and Cheryl Muench

"A couple of years ago, we purchased a place on Indian Lake that was in need of a seawall and new lift. My neighbor recommended Shoreline and I haven't been disappointed. Working with Derek was very easy as he knows what he is doing and he talked me through all the decisions that needed made concerning style, color, position and watching out for the French drain. In addition to Derek, Suzanne kept in constant contact about timing and follow up questions. Working with Derek and Suzanne was great and the crew did a wonderful job. Not only have my neighbors and friends commented on how great the seawall and lift are but when the work was finished, you would never know anyone had been there as the entire area was cleaned up and ready to go. Another plus was that I currently have Bayliner and lift works great with it but Derek made sure the width of the lift would accommodate a pontoon boat and by simply removing a few bolts the lift can be easily converted to handle a pontoon. I expect this lift to bring us many years of use and I can't recommend a better group to work with on a project like this." -Dave Dunlevy

"Shoreline Construction performs work of the highest quality. I am very happy with the work done on my seawall. Both the execution and timing were 100% what was promised. Derek and Suzanne were communicative at every stage of the project and when decisions needed to be made I was contacted and given options. Since I am not a full-time resident at this house, I loved that they sent me pictures so that I didn't always have to drive there to assess the current situation/progress. I felt like they were my partners in the work. I would highly recommend them to complete any project." -Lori Kaiser, CPA, CEO

"I'd like to thank Suzanne and Derek for the great job done on my dock and boat lift. As I reflect on Shoreline Construction, the terms innovative, forward thinking, and solution-oriented quickly come to mind. From beginning to end, each step in my project was thorough, professional, and friendly. Communication was always timely, and each member of your team was top notch. I would be honored to be used as a reference and wish Suzanne and Derek a lifetime of happiness and success!" -Bruce Carpenter, CPA
