Frequently Asked Questions.
Your Lake Service Questions, Answered.
How do I determine the right hoist size for my boat?
Start with the dry weight of your boat and add the weight of fuel, gear, and passengers to ensure you select a hoist that can handle the full load.
What is the difference between Duralift and ShoreStation hoists?
Duralift hoists feature a steel frame cantilever design, while ShoreStation hoists are aluminum frame vertical lifts. Both offer optional side curtains for added protection.
What is open flow decking?
Open flow decking is designed with cut-outs to allow wind and water to pass through, reducing resistance and improving stability.
Do I need to contact Midwest Lake Service each season?
No, once you’re on our service list, we automatically schedule your seasonal dock and hoist services unless we hear otherwise from you.
When do canopies get installed?
For steel hoists, canopies can be installed as soon as the hoist is in place. For aluminum hoists, canopies are installed after the boat is in the water.
Do you offer hoist storage?
Yes, we store hoists both during the season and in the off-season.
Do you offer late-season removals?
Yes, we work with fishermen and marinas to accommodate late-season removals as boats are taken out of the water.

How to Choose the Right Spa for Your Needs
After a day of hard work, or a night of wonderful rest, there’s not much that can match the benefits and enjoyment of a dip in the hot, comfortable water of a spa. Whether it’s the stress or activity of the day that you need to wind down from, or it’s the solid eight hours of sleep that you need a gentle awakening from, many people turn to spas.

The best spa for you will often be more apparent after you have considered what you want to achieve from your time spent soaking and
Why You Need To Clean and Maintain Your Gutters Ahead of Spring
As winter continues to linger and hopefully soon fades to spring, now is the perfect time for homeowners to consider whether their home’s gutters are prepared for the various and often heavy precipitation that’s common this time of year. When gutters and downspouts are in good working condition, they redirect water away from your home’s foundation and can prevent damage to fascia, soffit, shingles and other parts of your home’s exterior. In short, gutters protect both your home and your wallet from expensive repairs or replacement. However, if your gutters themselves need repaired or replaced, then it’s best to address that issue first. It will still be a cheaper solution than waiting and making major repairs later. That’s why the
