When it comes to dock sales, service
and waterfront construction, Dock World of Maine and Sebago Marine are a full
service operation based in Windham. Under the direction of owner Del Wescott,
Dock World has been in business for 22 years.
“These hands have touched every type
of dock out there,” said Wescott. “You get it all with us.” The company sells
new docks from floating and stationary docks to wooden and aluminum docks. They
also offer SCUBA services for underwater work and retrievals, should your boat
happen to spring a leak and sink.
The company is a family business
employing Wescott’s sister in the office and his son, who is one of the welders
on staff.
From dock installation to service
after the sale, Dock World is ready for their customers usually within 48
hours. They pride themselves on fast service that is done correctly the first
time.
Dock World sells and installs
Sunstream Boat Lifts. “They are the most expensive. They’re the Cadillac of
boat lifts,” Wescott said. They have a remote control and are solar powered.
“Our clients have no time for service issues. Summer is so short anyway. They
don’t want to be without a dock for two weeks,” he said. Using the best product
almost guarantees that boat owners won’t have to miss prime water time.
Dock World services 2,000 dock
sections per year all around the Sebago Lakes region and some dock work on the
ocean. They do their own metal fabrication and welding when a dock needs
repairs when a boat runs into the dock or other issues that might come up.
The company also manufactures wooden
docks to customer specifications. “We’ve built and sold thousands,” he said.
Customers looking for dock work can speak with dock supervisor Bobby Clark. “He
handles most all of our dock installations and service. He’s been with the
company for 10 years,” Wescott said.
Wescott prides himself on the
company’s great customer service. “When experience and reputation matters, call
us. That counts for a lot,” he said. The company has proved that with continual
growth every year since 1995.
The newest branch of Dock World is
Sebago Marine, which has been doing marine construction for over 10 years. The
98,000 pound barge they own travels from Standish to downtown Harrison to
repair and build on the shoreline.
“We service every marina solely from
here to Harrison,” he said. They help with moorings and other building
projects. Their skilled laborers create permanent dock systems. They have
underwater equipment like drills or chainsaws. Some of the team are SCUBA
certified.
Sebago Marine also does dredging work
for municipalities and for the Sebago Lake State Park, when they need the river
dredged.
“We work closely with the Maine DEP
for grandfathered docks, like permanent crib docks,” Wescott said. They make
sure they have permits to do any work on the water. Some of the work is done in
the winter when the water level is lowered. “I am a certified erosion control
person,” he said. They have saved more than 1000 feet of shoreline over their
years in business and plan to save lots more.
“We are a full service company. All
of my people are employees, not subcontractors. We pay all insurances and
benefits for the seven employees,” Wescott said.
Dock World has a showroom in North
Windham at 976 Roosevelt Trail and will be expanding their retail operations
there with cash and carry items and hardware.
In the off season, the four year
round employees work doing building construction, like barns, garages and
kitchens, said Wescott.
