Rusty Wallace Leads Again
State-of-the-Art Dock

All-time NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace obviously knows a boatload about racing. He also knows who to call when he needs a world-class dock for his new Lake Norman home – Mark Lancaster. Years ago, Rusty, hearing of Mark’s reputation for superior quality and customer satisfaction, decided to give him a try. Four docks later, he “wouldn't consider using anybody else. He does it better than anybody.”

“Every dock Mark has built for me,” says Rusty, “has turned out great! He sat down with my wife and me and discussed what we wanted, and he got it exactly right. My new dock has a tough, strong, modern industrial look. Very cool. Very hip. It wasn’t an easy project because of existing elevation problems, but Mark brought in barges, cranes and scuba divers, cut pylons, retied walkways...now it’s perfect!”

Mark, affable owner of Lancaster Custom Dock and Lift System since 1986, has turned his business into a huge success story. He strolls down Rusty’s dock pointing out features like the VEKAdeck™ PVC deck board and beaming with pride. “Check out these salt-grade, 316-grade stainless steel cables and stainless steel rails. Most folks use picket-fence on the sides, but Rusty wanted to see the lake through it, so we came up with this idea. Very clean.” And it was that. Also minimal, modern, and yes, hip.

Mark’s dock designs feature an innovative fixed dock system as well as a conventional floating dock system, both of which furnish customers with longer lasting dock structures. The Lancaster fixed dock is designed to withstand rough water caused by weather and boat wakes, a serious problem for many areas of Lake Norman.

Lancaster Custom Dock and Lift Systems introduced the Lancaster StepDown System to docks on the lake. Working with customers from initial design, engineered drawings, permits and final inspection, they’re so confident in the quality of their docks they offer a ten year warranty on fixed docks and a five years warranty on floating docks, far above standard.

They also offer boat lifts, jet ski ride on lifts, dock roofs, sundecks, sitting areas and on-land decking, commercial, residential, dredging – from simple rip rap to sophisticated Redi-Rock walls, fixed docks, floating docks, PWC docks, makeovers, pile driving, shorelines, retaining walls, boardwalks, and boathouse decks, kitchens & bars.

Mark and his staff believe in “quality first, and in giving the customer what they pay for. We want to build the best memories that one can have.” He’s also quick to add “no job is too small for us. We do it all, from small and simple to incredibly complex. We’ll achieve what you want and also meets your budget.”

“We do all of the permitting in-house and work with our engineer to design your dock to meet or exceed all local codes.

We take great pride in protecting our lakes and keeping them clean. We also contribute to Osprey nesting and fish attractor programs, and work with clean sweep programs on our islands.”
