Hybrid Docks
Our Hybrid docks are constructed with a roof fixed on pilings and a floating dock integrated along 2 sides. These designs usually have a cable lift installed under the roof. Cable lifts work great in shallow water, because they don’t need air tanks beneath the boat.
Hybrid docks are often used in narrow coves. Duke Lake Management rules allow private users to build out up to 1/3rd of the width of the cove. This rule is designed to leave the center 1/3rd of the cove open. Many cove lots are limited by Duke to a dock design that extends only a relatively short distance.
Because it’s floating, our Hybrid design allows for guest tie up and easy jetski ramp additions. The floating walkways stay the same height over the water even when the lake level fluctuates. Lake Norman can fluctuate over 6 feet throughout the year.
The Hybrid design uses square 8×8” pilings to support both the roof and the cable lift. The fixed roof design is narrow, and can be installed in more locations than a larger roof. Many of our Hybrid designs only extend 25 ft from shore.
Many of our Hybrid dock projects include a fixed deck that is partially on shore and partially over the water. This total combination gives the utility of a covered boat slip, a lift, a floating dock and a fixed deck area. No need to compromise just because you live in a narrow cove.

TESTIMONIALS
Morgan and his team (John, Clinton, Aurelio, Chris) did an excellent job in evaluating, redesigning, and modifying the roof structure of my boathouse to accommodate the permanent arch on my boat and thus allowing the lift to raise my boat completely out of the water. The quality of the work was excellent and these guys are great to work with. They came up with a great solution at a reasonable cost without having to replace the roof.

Morgan has just finished a dock for us. He knew what we wanted before we did. The whole project was a pleasure and his crew were not only courteous but a pleasure to witness. Hard working, great ethics and they never skipped a day until it was finished, even through the cold and rain. I have to say, we miss the boys and the banter. If you are considering a dock or repair, do yourself a favor and call Morgan. Thanks guys 🙂

Great job! I would hire Dock Services again in a NY minute. They did a renovation on our three-slip dock. Project estimate was 6-7 weeks and they completed within the time scope of the project. As a construction project manager, I appreciated the attention to project schedule and quality control during the build. These guys are pros. They do it right. From proposal to punch list, Dock Services is on top of it.
As a homeowner, I appreciated the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Dock Services exhibited at every step of the project. They literally transformed our dock from tired and worn out to a dock that looked brand new.
Also, Dock Services runs a tight ship: they’re clean, neat and hardworking. Easily one of the best contractors I have ever hired, bar none.

Morgan and his crew exceeded expectations with very minimal guidance. They knew what they were doing, and completed a dock restoration that functions and looks much better than I imagined would be possible based on what they had to work with.
Morgan’s crew was polite, professional, and respectful. The site was left cleaner than when they began. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dock Services to anyone, or use them again myself.
I recommend unconditionally.

I talked to 3 dock builders and Morgan was hands down best dock design, construction and value. His crew was amazing. We enjoyed having them on our property every day. Highly recommend this firm.

We could not have been more pleased with the outcome!
They began when they promised and never left the job until it was completed. They would not accept a deposit until they started the project. The craftsmanship and attention to detail this company delivers is amazing!

This is our second dock build experience with Morgan and his team on Lake Norman. He and his crew are the very BEST in the dock building business!! We could not be happier. His big wave series docks are a must! If you want a high quality product done on time, correctly with no mess and full service. Morgan is the one and only to trust and hire in the Lake Norman area. Thank you once again Morgan!
