Purchased a dock about a year and a half ago and wanted to wait to write a review. The dock has performed as it should. Everything that we discussed was completed to satisfaction and has weathered the last 17 months extremely well. I live on a wide body (half mile across) with a straight ahead of view two miles of water towards the dam. So yes, we get a lot of traffic and significant heavy wake boats coming through. There is no bucking or throwing people off balance on this dock. Structurally and in my opinion, the roof system is very robust. We have a lot of wind and I think it is the strongest system I have seen on Smith Lake. Very well-done boat dock! Thanks to all of the crew at Free State Boat Docks that made it happen! Worth waiting for.

NOT recommended, would not honor 15 year structural warranty when walkway bolt broke. Company has gone way down hill in quality and service. Dock design is weak at the walkway joints and easily damaged by damm wake boats.. Design is ok for slews but not for open areas. Dock needs to be strong enough to handle lake traffic at the location its going to be used.

Growing up on Smith Lake and now being a home owner I will say that the dock you have DOES make a difference. Not only does Free State Boat Docks put forth the best structure and design in their docks, their customer service and employees are also top notch. If you ask me- there is no other option!

Top quality boat docks and excellent customer service. I’m a Smith Lake Realtor and I’ve been on hundreds of docks in all weather and traffic conditions. There IS a difference. I send my clients to Free State because he simply builds the best and strongest dock on the lake. We have a Free State two bay double decker at our office at Duncan Bridge and being on the main body in a high traffic area, you can really see and feel the quality. Especially on the summer weekends when the many boats fly by. Wake boats, heavy traffic, bring it on! Compare with any other dock out there. Look for these key items: true truss construction and a single continuous beam framing. This dock is tough! You won’t be sorry!

I am a Realtor on smith lake as well as a home owner. I have bought and sold several homes on smith lake that have Free State Docks and I have personally purchased several docks from Free State Boat Docks and have always thought they were the best dock on the lake. Being a real estate agent I have had the opportunity to study all of the manufacturers docks and Free State Boat Docks has hands down the best dock on the market. Structurally there is no comparison.I have customers ask me often who I would use and my answer is if I was buying another dock on smith lake I would call Free State Boat Docks.

I recently purchased a lake property that didn't come with a boat dock. I worked with Justin Hogan at Free State after seeing many docks while in search of our home. All it took was actually standing on one of Free State's demo docks to convince me that was the way to go. They are solid, high quality steel docks designed to handle anything Smith Lake can roll at them. Mine barely moves with boat wakes, even when the huge wakeboat wakes come in. And there no creaks, squeaks, etc. as long as I keep fittings greased (easy to do).I have the 1 1/2 slip design which gives me plenty of shade when needed. We spend most of our time in the summer on our dock and and love it.

Justin and Free State build the best docks on the lake! Very professional and Kim is great with customers. I have bought 2 docks from them and if I move and need another one, I will only buy from them!

Didn't always follow through with things said over the phone or text. Asked 3 people for guidance on pricing my old boat dock. All said they would help but never got any help.
