A Lake Gaston boathouse and pier builder, run by Burwell Powell. Licensed and insured, with over 40 years of experience behind the work.
The owner answers the phone
Every Twin Lakes sign says the same thing: call Burwell Powell. Job posts end the same way. The one public review of the company is mostly about him: great to deal with from start to finish, willing to configure the build around the owner's needs, and still around after the job is done.
Built on Lake Gaston
All the work on record is on Lake Gaston, on both the North Carolina and Virginia shores. Each build is posted stage by stage: piles, floor system, upper band, rafters, roof, trim, lifts. You can follow five of them in the projects.
The crew
Jobs are posted with credit where it is due. On the fall 2025 build: "Roof shingles installed. Great job by Earl Braddy and his crew."
