Pete and Kevin (father and son) have been the best experience I've had with a contractor in a decade where we've owned 3 different homes. They arrive on time to both pre-job appointments and daily work. They stuck to the original price and timeline (both start date and time to completion). They were courteous, kept me informed, and willing to answer questions I had. They cleaned up their mess and the dock looked fantastic. Two years in and no issues. If you live on Lake Wylie and specifically Tega Cay you are pretty limited to dock builders due to the City's stringent permit process. Easy advice: hire Muskrat and don't look back.
I would highly recommend Muskrat Co. For all your Lake deck and dock work.
They also looked at the flotation devices on the dock and probably will replace them for me.
I was so delighted with their work that I know I will use them in the future and will refer them to friends.
Classy, classy workmanship and business handling. I think their responsiveness is a critical success factor in their business.
Then we contacted Muskrat Construction. They came prepared! Kevin brought his laptop with pictures of other work they had done, gave us references of other docks we could look at and talk with the owners, he took notes about what we discussed and gave us detailed drawings that represented exactly what we had said we wanted. We received a detailed, professional proposal that outlined exactly what work would be done, exactly how much it would cost, and at what points during the process payments would be expected. We went into the project with a very clear picture of what to expect.
Muskrat did everything they said they would and more! They spent extra time to help guide us through the process of getting the permits we needed to get started. They started work when they said they would and did everything just the way we wanted it throughout the project. The workmanship was first-rate. We had asked for special pickets in the railing to match the stair railing and sitting area that already existed on the property. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Muskrat even finished the handrails and placed the pickets so that the new part they constructed was a perfect match to what was already on our property. Their attention to little details like that plus the overall care and craftmanship that is evident in the work they did gave us a first-class job. Plus they are just plain NICE people to do business with. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our dock and boat lift. Our entire experience with Muskrat Construction was outstanding!
The minor work was done satisfactorily.
The majority of the work was much more extensive and estimated around $13,000. I was asked to pay over half of the estimate at the time of signing the contract with no defined start date. I was able to find another builder who did not ask me to pay anything until the materials and workmen were on the job.
"This response is due to the review written by this member. Our standard operating procedure for the last 30 + years has been the following: At the signing of any contract, we obtain a percentage based on the scope of the project. This will allow us to obtain necessary items (prior to the start of your project) that require additional production time such as boat lifts, roof metal, etc. We offer this practice to all of our customers no matter what the size of the project. We find that by gathering the necessary materials and having them on the job site helps streamline production with less downtime. Resulting in a higher customer satisfaction and an on time successful completion date. We have always been committed to giving our customers this piece of mind. Once we start on your project we don’t leave to go work on another one. We stay until your job is completed. At no time is a customer "upside down " in our contracts. We feel if a customer researches the marine construction industry, they will find that the majority of companies collect 50% or more with their contract and the balance at the end. Our company has worked with multiple draws depending on the magnitude of the project i.e.: residential or commercial. As our residential projects become more elaborate, the need for multiple draws is becoming a standard practice. Thank you for allowing us our voice on this matter Muskrat Construction Inc."
The work was done on time and cleanly. Kevin and Peter answered any and all questions I had.
I would definitely recommend them and I would use them again.
Kevin was great to work with. He was always quick to get back with me on whatever questions I had. He gave me some realistic options regarding how to best fix up my water front in a cost effective manner. I will use Muskrat Construction again in the future if I ever need any further dock work done.
We will have them return to repair other structures and highly recommend them.
