The oversight of subcontractors from design to installation was excellent, and due to long standing relationships between John and these local companies. North Twin employees were top notch craftsmen and the office staff was well organized and kept us updated on orders and billing. John and his staff made routine site visits and any issues were rectified. We are very happy with the work - the new additions have given our home the latest amenities and improved the integrity of the historic structure. Mark Krolow and Rhonda Walker

I just installed our Pier of d'Nort dock today. It is as good as advertised -- actually -- let me…read morerevise that to, "Better than advertised!!" First -- a shout out to their sales staff and showroom in St. Germaine. Though we were quite sure we wanted to purchase a Pier of d'Nort dock before we stopped to see the showroom and factory (thanks to Pier of d'Nort's excellent web site), if we had any lingering doubts they were quickly allayed by outstanding personal attention and demonstrations, especially when Deb showed us how easy it is to lift and align the dock sections prior to flipping them into the water. We were also able to see all the accessories and options on the showroom floor. As a result we made a tweak to our original plan and I'm glad we did -- the final result is definitely better. Second -- Our dock was delivered first thing in the morning precisely on the day it was promised. The delivery man was also knowledgeable about the product and answered a couple of my last minute questions when I was looking over the parts. Third -- One person can indeed install the dock with no problems. I essentially did everything myself. There was one point where I thought I would need an extra hand but by the time my wife arrived to assist me I had it figured out and was ready to go. That said, for your initial installation (when it is necessary to make leveling adjustments, etc.) two people will make it a lot easier. Now that I've got everything adjusted the way I like it I do not anticipate any problems taking it in or setting it up again by myself. (BTW - I'm 67 years old, of average fitness and strength, and I can see myself putting it in and taking it out for at least another ten years, maybe more!) Fourth -- we ran into one glitch mounting the "corner cutter." After a two minute call to Pier of d'Nort we clearly understood OUR mistake and a few minutes later everything fit like a charm. And finally -- now that it is in -- I love it. It is good looking. It is stable. It is also adaptable and expandable. If we decide that the "L" would be better going the other direction it would be no problem to do so. If we decide it needs to be longer to accommodate a different boat, that too would be no problem. If we want to add a bench, or flag pole, or cleats or bumpers, or any other accessory, just buy them and attach them. It could't be simpler. If you are thinking about a Pier of d'Nort dock (especially if you like what you see but are concerned about the price) I encourage you to read the other five star reviews and check out all the specs, details and testimonials on Pier of d'Nort's web site. I'm already glad that I decided to go with Pier of d'Nort. In fact, I feel like I already recouped some of my investment on the initial installation alone! Addendum: It is now just about the end of October and I can report that removing a Pier of d'Nort dock is just as easy as putting it in. I did it all by myself with no problems. The best part was being able to leave it in for late season boating and fishing and then not having to worry about getting into the icy cold water to take it out. Likewise, I expect to put it in the day after the ice goes out next year. Two thumbs up! Five stars all the way.

I am very pleased to recommend Consider It Covered (in Eagle River) for your interior design needs…read more Lisa Maines and her mother Connie definitely have a unique "eye" for design. My husband and I own an old family cottage in nearby Three Lakes, and we have greatly benefited from their expertise as we have made improvements. Lately, we have focused on replacing window treatments throughout our cottage. Each room has had its unique issues that have required individual treatment. As a recent example, our lakefront cottage has large, westward-facing windows that have given us a problem with intense glare off the water in late afternoons. Lisa and Connie struck a good balance by suggesting window shades that would block the glare but would not be too opaque. They also encouraged us to select a deep brown color, which would serve as a backdrop to our "very beige" furniture. I tend to be cautious about using any bold color, so I was hesitant at first, but am now so glad we followed through with their suggestion -- we love the result! The deep brown tone actually has a neutral effect, but it also offers real "punch" and gives a warm and cozy feeling. Additionally, unlike "big box" stores, they came out to make accurate measurements and provided installation services for our new shades. As an added bonus, they have also offered expert advice when we have needed help in selecting paint colors for our other interior, and even exterior, needs. In all aspects, they have been delightful to work with. I couldn't recommend them more! Betsy Brown
