Marine Specialties Reviews

Dan O'Rourke 2026.11.07

     

We recently had Marine Specialties complete two jobs for us: redecking the stairs and upper deck of our dock, and installation of rip rap along our shoreline on Lake Lanier. The sales team (Steve for the redecking project and Trice for the rip rap project) and the work crews that Marine Specialties sent to our home were reliable and professional. The materials that they used and the quality of the work they performed are top notch. Blake and Caleb (on the redecking job) and Santos and Eduardo (on the rip rap job) worked hard and did exceptional work. They knew their jobs, they did them well and efficiently, they were pleasant to deal with, and it was just fun to watch them work. We are very happy with the job that Marine Specialties did, and with our overall experience with the company.

We had Rip-Rap and Stairs installed by Marine Specialties. Beginning with Trice Cannon, the project manager, he was responsive, on-time and the quote was very competitive. The two installation crews were separate, Abraham on the Rip-Rap and Miguel and team for the stairs. Just overall a great experience! These guys know exactly what they're doing and made sure I was happy prior to them leaving the property.

The Marine Speciailties staff was wonderful to work with. Although our wait seemed to take a bit longer due to some issues with the Army Corps, Trice did a fantastic job navigating approvals, expectations, and help throughout the entire process. Additionally, the guys who came to work at the house were wonderful. They were personable and really helped the property look so much better. What a difference the look makes, not to mention that we hope it helps to maintain the value of our property. Thank you to Marine Specialties. Thanks Trice. Thank you Matt - All of you guys were terrific!

MSI did nearly 300 feet of riprap and the results are outstanding as usual. Most professionally run crew that always showed and delivers above and beyond. We always choose MSI for our lake front needs. Unmatched.

Marine Specialties is the only company me and my neighbors use for rip rap and once again their crew Abraham and Matt created a perfectly placed rip rap shoreline. The guys made sure I was happy at all phases of construction and even touched up my old rip rap so it all blends. Looks great and structurally sound. Couldn’t be more satisfied with their white glove professional service. Thanks guys!

Marine specialties did an AMAZING job on our riprap and new staircase for our dock ramp. Trice was a consummate professional. The onsite technician team Matthew, Abraham, Miguel and Robbie were fantastic. We had our houseboat moored to our oversized dock we call Dockzilla and they handled moving the dock to work on the shoreline like the professionals they are. Everything turned out even better than we had envisioned it. 5 star product and service!!!

I have used Marine Specialties several times. I called them again to adjust my lift and I needed some help moving my boat from one slip to another. Calob when above and beyond in helping me! And, my bill came in under the estimate! You can beat that!

Boat Lift Install/repair. Louis and his crew arrived on-time and were very courteous! Their work was very professional and they took the time to show me everything they were doing. They handled my boat with care and were very thorough with attaching to our slip. When Louis found a worn part in the controller, he showed me pictures of the bad part and how to make sure it was safe until we got a replacement. Casey at the office called to follow up with the part issue and is handling all the calls with the MFR. These guys at MSI are great to work with, prompt, courteous, and great t their jobs! I would not hesitate to send their name out as a referral ant time. Thanks MSI! B

We used Marine Specialties to move and install a used boat lift we bought off Facebook marketplace. Before purchasing they inspected it via photos to make sure everything looked okay with the lift. They had to move it pretty far and complete a tricky installation due to our center console having a folding tower on our t-top that we needed to clear the roof. From start to finish everything was so smooth. If you're looking for someone to work on your lifts or dock, I can't recommend them highly enough. As someone who's worked in the marine industry for a long time, Marine Specialties is top notch. Pricing was very fair as well. Carlos and Martín did an incredible job on the install. Thank you Marine Specialties
