Lake Life

With so many family members frequenting their parent's lakefront property, the Hermans decide to give Mom and Dad a place to rest and relax. They build a 10,000 lb. floating volcano-themed fishing cabin where Dad can fish and Mom can sun.

It's all about the Fiddlers. First, the Hermans infuse sun and fun into a double decker dock for Jake and Laura Fiddler. Then, the Hermans hook up Grandpa Fiddler with a cool scuba system perfect for swimming with fishes.

Chris and Sandra want a nice place to get away to but don't want to spend a lot of time driving there. They found a lakeside location close to home and now they just need to put a cabin on it! With the Herman's help their picturesque location gets a two bedroom cabin with sleeping lofts, a deck, custom staircase to the lake and a rope swing for the grandkids.

Dave and Michelle have a back yard that's usually full of kids but with nothing more than a dirt pile in the backyard it's time for an upgrade. That means a killer treehouse with a loft, tire swings, a slide and a suspension bridge that leads to a lookout deck.

When escaping with family to his ranch, Curtis Price likes to golf, bow hunt, fish, swim, play with the grandkids and relax by one of his many lakes. The Hermans put it all together with a motorized floating golf green that features a club house, putting area, fully stocked bar and storage for rods, bows and lounge chairs.

The Bixlers love the great outdoors but don't like roughing it when it comes to camping. They like to think of themselves as Glampers, aka glam campers. So how do they build a semi permanent location they can bring the whole family to camp in? The Herman Brothers help them put together a Teepee village complete with horse corral, trails and rock steps right to the lake.

Having a family vacation ranch is great but sometimes teenagers need an area for themselves. Two fathers call on the Herman Brothers to build a lake side beach area for an active group of teenagers. The Hermans build a new beach with gazebo, floating jump dock, and a custom, state of the art zip line.

The Hermans are called upon by the Gorell family to build a remote lake island fort. With plenty of childhood forts of their own to draw on for inspiration, the Herman Brothers construct a fort from local trees complete with lookout tower, sleeping bunks and a suspension bridge.

Chad and Julie have a house on the lake. They want to turn their unfinished basement into a finished space with a separate bathroom that can support all their lake activities. This space gets a facelift with a new dining table, bathroom, storage for kids toys and of course a new deck complete with sandbox.

Beth and Greg Herman have been vacationing in Gulf Shores, Alabama for more than twenty years. Their beach side condo has a great pool, but the rest of the outdoor space is unfinished. Nate surprises dad with a new deck area complete with grilling station, fire pit and recreation area for the kids.

This client's home is located on a street called Wendy's Way because that is exactly what Joe's wife Wendy wants: her way. The challenge is to restore their old dock. Wendy gets a dock-house complete with stone fireplace and bar area.
