"Quite possibly the absolute best experience from a service company that I have ever seen at Lake of the Ozarks. Above and beyond expectations with communication execution, follow up. Everything."

"The installers for Trico were great. The bad parts of my dock were replaced, including trim and 60+ pavers and three sections of 12' dock was completed in less than a day. Britt was great to deal with and knew what I wanted. I couldn't be more pleased as everything looks great!"

"I would highly recommend Jacob Trico Dock Company for any dock needs. We recently had a storm damage our dock and ramp. They helped us through the whole process of getting everything fixed and put back together. They were easy to work with and kept us updated on timeframe for getting the work completed. Work was completed faster than expected and looks brand new. They take pride in their work. Great company at the lake"

"Outstanding response and service by Britt. Quality of work was quick and efficient. Appreciate the emergency response on Sunday as well. Professional handling of payment and Lien Release. Quality group."

"Unfortunately. I didn't have Trico build my dock, so my review is on their service, "Best on the Lake". They are very responsive to your needs with a quick evaluation and resolution of the issue, (even if it's referring you to a different business to solve your problem correctly) sure you may shop around for price. But you won't get the quality and support that Trico offers.

"Trico went above and beyond for our association building and installing our awesome, 10 well dock. Everyone at Trico has been a pleasure to work with throughout the process."
