🎉 Today is Kevin's birthday! 🎉

And while the picture we’re sharing is VERY old, it takes us back to when the company first got started in the mid 90s.

A lot has changed since then, but the hard work, dedication, and pride in the job have stayed the same.

Help us wish him a Happy Birthday today! 🛠️🎂

🚤 New dock decking just arrived… and we’re loving the variety!

We now have even more options to choose from. The top row features our standard colors, while the bottom row comes from our premium line with some upgraded looks and finishes.

If you’re looking to make your dock really stand out, these new options can help it pop and better coordinate with your home or lakefront design.

Stop by the shop to check them out in person and see what might be the perfect fit for your setup. 🛠️

🛠️ While cleaning out some old files, we came across one of the very first advertisements from J&K Lake Service, started by Tom Kuhlman, his brother Dick, and Dave Jacobsma.

We estimate this piece goes back to the early 80s, around the time they built their first barge to help people out on Big Spirit.

Back then, dealing with the harsh water conditions, they realized things needed to be built differently… stronger, more durable, and made to last.

Fast forward 40+ years, and we’re still doing exactly what they started.

Building quality docks that stand the test of time. 🚤

🚤 We never get tired of seeing a fresh batch of galvanized dock sections. There’s just something about knowing they’re built from galvanized steel and made to last for years to come.

We’ve been building docks since the 1980s, when Tom started the business with his brothers. Over the years, we’ve made improvements and updates to our designs, but our mission has stayed the same.

Build docks that can stand up to everything the Iowa Great Lakes throws at them. Wind, waves, and weather included.

That commitment is still what drives us today. 🛠️

🛠️ Large projects take precision at every step.

When we’re working on a multi-part build, we’re constantly checking and verifying so each step flows smoothly into the next.

Measure, cut, measure again… and then check it one more time.

It’s all about making sure you get a final product that’s built right and built to last.

This dock is coming along nicely, and we can’t wait to show you the finished project. 🚤
