Just picked up a canopy from them. Starting to assemble it but the quality looks good. A couple parts were missed but they shipped them out quickly.

Purchased 19 sections of their 8 ft HD series dock with sure step . The product and craftmanship is second to none. Beautiful strong and best pricing around. Also the team at Schneider is phenomenal to deal with, courteous and easy to deal with. We made a mistake in estimating the pipe length and needed longer, Schneider fabrication is going out of their way to accommodate. I highly recommend.

I posted a very bad review because I was very disappointed in my solar panel, however I took my anger out on the wrong person. I should’ve taken it out on my installer, who did not follow through. Jerry Schneider, owner of the company, called me to tell me he was sending a new solar panel. Come to find out I’m not actually even his customer, I am my installers customer. So it was nice of him to send a replacement. Hopefully I will get the new solar panel Monday at the latest.

We bought our dock several years ago. We were very happy with it except two of our dock pieces broke. We have the flow thru plastic ones. We have had several people purchase from your company since they have seen ours. But the problem is that we have made several calls left messages and still no response. Now we are very disappointed in this company. They do not seem to care about their customers after a purchase. We will not recommend them again.

Excellent service, Trent was my salesman who promised a delivery date. I fully expected with current labor shortages a delay. My new hydraulic lift was in the water on time, highly recommend this company for Docks or Hoists.

I originally gave a one star review but now have changed it to a five star due to some miss communication. I really like the construction of my dock and installation was so easy that I highly recommend buying one!

Bought a roll in pier. Looks and feels great definitely a quality piece. They were great to work with and responded quick to any questions I had. Everthing was just as promised and the whole process was very straight forward. I live by Fort Wayne Ind and it was well worth my 3hr drive each way to deal with them. Pier looks great and gets tons of compliments already. Thanks Eric

We purchased a 20 section aluminum dock back in 2016 and have been very pleased with the performance and ease of putting it in and taking it out. We love that it doesn't get hot like our old wood dock and the solar LED lights let us find our way home at night. Captains Choice delivered and installed at our cabin. Great service and company. Looking to purchase lifts from them now.

I live on a 11,000 acre lake that can be brutal when the wind picks up.. expressed my concern about holding up to wind and waves, took owners word in quality and purchased 106 feet of pier including ramp sight unseen. Had a huge storm 1 week after installation, pier came through unscathed, neighbors pier different manufacturers not so well. Everyone who sees it gives compliments on looks and quality. Ended up also purchasing a pontoon lift from them as well. Couldn't be happier with entire system.

I planned on writing this about 4 years ago when we first got our new dock but decided to wait to be sure that we had no issues with it. Sometimes when you make a big purchase, you are happy in the beginning and then something breaks and you wish you'd never bought it. I can honestly say that we are more than satisfied with this purchase. The dock is of very high quality. Gary and Eric were great to deal with, the price was quite a bit lower than any competitor we spoke to since we were buying direct from the manufacturer and they delivered it ahead of schedule.
