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.

Fair and honest and reasonable..Cory stopped the same day I encountered a problem on my lift and is so motivated.....and has such a vast knowledge of lift motors...did the repair without having to sell me a new motor. Thank you so much Cory....you will always be at the top of my list!!!!

Mandy, Cory, Austin, and the rest of the crew have been great to deal with, and have done what they said they’re going to do every single time. Highly recommend these guys! Thank you for always putting your customers first!

Their boat lift service, even with the high water, was not an issue.

Essential Lake Services Every Waterfront Property Owner Needs

February 28, 2025

Owning a waterfront property comes with amazing benefits, from stunning views to easy access to the water. However, maintaining your shoreline, dock, and hoist requires proper care and seasonal upkeep. Without the right maintenance, your investment can suffer from damage, erosion, or costly repairs. Professional lake services help protect your property year-round, ensuring that your dock and hoist remain in top condition while keeping your shoreline strong and stable. Here’s what every waterfront property owner needs to know about essential lake services.

Spray Foam vs. Traditional Insulation: Which One Is Right for Your Home or Business?

February 13, 2025

Choosing the right insulation is crucial for reducing energy costs, improving indoor comfort, and protecting your property. While fiberglass and cellulose have been common choices for years, closed-cell spray foam insulation has become the superior solution for long-term energy efficiency and durability. If you’re debating between closed-cell spray foam, fiberglass, or cellulose, understanding the key differences can help you make the best investment for your home or business. Energy Efficiency & Air Sealing: Closed-Cell Spray Foam Wins Traditional insulation materials like fiberglass and cellulose can’t fully seal air leaks, which results in higher heating and cooling costs. Gaps in insulation allow air to escape, making HVAC systems work harder to maintain indoor temperatures. Which Insulation Offers the Best Energy Savings?

The Smart Choice: Why Seamless Gutters Are Worth the Investment

February 3, 2025

Gutters play a critical role in protecting your home from water damage, foundation issues, and costly repairs. However, traditional sectional gutters come with a common set of problems—visible seams, frequent clogs, and a higher risk of leaks. Seamless gutters solve these issues with a sleek, custom-fit design that enhances durability and reduces maintenance. Unlike sectional gutters, which have multiple seams, seamless systems feature a continuous design that directs water efficiently while minimizing weak points. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, long-lasting gutter solution, here’s why seamless gutters are the way to go. Better Leak Protection for Your Home Traditional gutters rely on multiple connected sections, creating weak points where leaks develop over time. Water escaping through these seams can cause
