Bob Rosenthal and Nina Simon:
“My wife and I want to personally thank Scott and all the staff of LSI for their outstanding work and attention to detail. After consultation with Scott, and after visiting several of the docks LSI had installed, we decided to go with LSI to build our 300 foot dock over the marsh and into Kitty Hawk Bay in Kill Devil Hills. Although we live in Maryland, we were apprised of every step of construction through weekly emails with detailed pictures of each step. The difference in quality was explained carefully before construction: stronger pilings, pressure
treated lumber, stainless steel screws (to prevent planks pulling out during rising water) and careful attention to spacing between planks to allow water to pass through. We met several owners who had weathered severe storms without damage. When Hurricane Irene struck, we followed the soundside flooding from our home in Maryland. Though our neighbors in KDH assured us of no significant damage to our home, there was no mention of the dock. When we arrived in KDH six days after the flood we were overjoyed to find our dock covered with weeds, but otherwise without any apparent damage. NO OTHER DOCK in our neighborhood survived without significant destruction. Thanks again to LSI for their careful attention to detail and living up to their promises of quality and stability, even during the toughest storms”.John Konnert:
”LSI Marine Construction built a dock for our property on Kitty Hawk Bay in the spring of 2011, and we were delighted at how well it held up during Hurricane Irene. In spite of having been completely underwater there is only minor damage to the portion of it that is land-based, which is now tilted slightly. The over-water portion has only cosmetic damage to the piling caps. The jetties which they built for us some years ago are also intact. This is a real testimony to the quality of their constructions!”Tom Garnett and Jane McDorman:
“We want to thank you for the quality work and outstanding customer service that we have received from you and your company. It was approximately 5 years ago that we decided to have you install a bulkhead in our backyard to protect and prevent beach erosion at our beach cottage in Collington Harbour. We were very happy with the finish product. However, it was only recently that we got a real chance to fully understand appreciate the quality of your work.In August of 2011, Hurricane Irene hit the Outer Banks and directly traveled up the sound. High winds and violent waves crashed into and over the bulkhead. Amazingly enough, not one board was lost or damaged. The water washed out much of backyard and we were very concerned about lost income from our weekly rentals. Your service once again exceeded our expectations. You and your team came out right away and up our property restored in less than a week. Your efficiency and quality work has saved our rental season.
Additionally, our communication has been pleasant and very professional. It is hard to believe that we were able to get everything done without even having to make a trip from Richmond. We value our relationship with you and whole-heartedly recommend your company to anyone that can utilize the services that you offer”.
Jon with Nor’Banks Sailing:
“It has been a pleasure dealing with LSI in dealing with our bulkheads, breakwaters and docks. They installed a new ramp for us last year and strengthened up our bulkheads and they both survived Irene. They will also be repairing the pier (it got damage more due to age). The most impressive thing is that after the Storm, I called Scott to come and inspect our ramp and he was there within the hour and helped me solve the problem so that we could get the business back up and running. We will use LSI for all of our marine construction needs!”Webb L. Tyler:
“As usual, your organization did excellent work in re-leveling our Currituck Sound dock from damage by Hurricane Irene. The limited damage that we did suffer is a testament to the strength that your organization built into the dock when initially constructed some 7+/- years ago. The fact that we had no breakage or loss of boards as a result of Hurricane Irene’s storm surge three feet below our home is a testament to the strength and the quality of the construction your organization does. I am grateful not only for the quality construction initially done, but the repairs recently performed. It literally has no sign of damage after the dock was re-leveled. You are welcome to use my name as a reference or that of my construction manager, Lara Tyler Chambers.”Emmett and Suzanne Smith:
“With the lift installation recently completed at our new home in Kitty Hawk, you all have once again exceeded our high expectations. As with our first experience with your work back in 2003 in Aydlett, NC, we could not be more pleased with this latest project. We know to go to LSI when we want the job done right the first time. First Time Quality should be part of your advertising plan as that is what you deliver. We especially appreciated the frequent project updates. We are, once again, very satisfied customers. LSI is our choice for all of our marine construction projects! We know the job will be done correctly, in total compliance with all regulations, and will stand up to the often very tough storms that pass our way. You are welcome to use our names in your advertising just as you are welcome to bring prospective clients to visit our projects. Best wishes for a great 2012.”
