We couldn’t be happier with our new stairs and our experience with everyone from Lakeshore Customs. The installers were professional and their attention to detail was fantastic.

The crews did excellent work installing both the beach steps and the dune grass plugs, sometimes in impossible weather. I’ve gladly recommended the company to anyone inquiring about my experience.
