The Butler Approach to Marine Service
With one call, our customers can rely on a single, trusted provider to coordinate and deliver the services their boat needs.
At The Butler Did It Marine Services, we believe boat care should be done correctly, consistently, and with attention to detail. Our business was built around providing reliable marine
services that protect your investment and make ownership easier—not more complicated.
When the company was founded, it became clear there was a missing piece in the local marine service market. Boat owners often had to call multiple companies to handle detailing, canvas,
bottom paint, storage services, and maintenance. We built our business around changing that.
Our Approach
We focus on doing the work the right way—using proper processes, honest evaluations, and clear communication from start to finish. Every boat is different, and so is how it’s used, which is why we don’t rely on one-size-fits-all solutions.
Just as important as the work itself is how it’s communicated. We take pride in being
responsive, keeping customers informed, and setting clear expectations throughout each project.
Serving Our Community
We’re proud to serve boat owners and marinas throughout the Baltimore and Middle River area, extending north through the Sassafras River. We value building long-term relationships with our customers and providing reliable, well-communicated service across every job. Much of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals, which reflects our commitment to quality workmanship, responsiveness, and trust.
What You Can Expect Multiple Marine Services
● One point of contact for multiple marine services
● Clear, consistent communication before, during, and after the job
● Thoughtful recommendations based on your boat’s condition
● Quality workmanship and dependable results
What owners are saying dockside
I have used the services of The Butler Did It for several years and each time they exceeded my expectations. Both Lauren and DJ have gone above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with their work. When I first started using their services it was for occasional boat washing. Each time I requested service they went out of their way to try to accommodate my schedule. Since the initial boat washing, I used their wax/ceramic coating service and was extremely pleased with the results. They also performed some inside cabin repairs which involved removing some wall areas where a leak developed, repairing the leak, installing and painting a new wall. The results were amazing.DJ and Lauren take the time to explain how they will perform each project and communicate well before and after work commences. There were never any surprises in either the scope of work or the final bill for the work performed. I highly recommend The Butler Dit It for you your inside and outside boating projects.

We have used The Butler Did It for multiple services on our 40’ Silverton. Their incredible customer service was the first thing that stood out. Being new to owning a boat, we were walked through each of the services we inquired about and all of our questions were answered, without making us feel like idiots. Their stellar work and attentiveness to our needs are what keeps us coming back. A true model for what customer service should be.

It was a wonderful experience for us! They finished our bimini on time and they do a wonderful job! We’ve also had them make our console cover and stack pack as well as a repair to our sail. They came out to our boat for bimini fittings and made adjustments and upgrades to make the bimini last even longer and make it easier for us to put on every year. We were thrilled with their service and all the people we dealt with. Highly recommend!

The Butler Did It has been our go-to for two seasons for repairs on our 40-year-old boat canopy glass. They’ve replaced more than 25 zippers and just completed a custom fit that turned out absolutely perfect—and ahead of schedule. The quality of their work is outstanding. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them!

The Butler did my canvas on my Bayliner. They were so professional and had it done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them for any boat work you need. They are a staple for me with anything I need! If I could give them a thousand star review, I would!

DJ and team have done a fantastic job maintaining our boat bow to stern. It could be detail and cleanings all the way to mechanical repairs. They explain the work needed in detail and are very willing to listen to questions. Very flexible and I highly recommend them.

I am incredibly thankful for The Butler Did It and the care they put into my detailing my boat. Not only does everything look beautiful, but the new floors they installed completely transformed the inside as well. My boat feels refreshed, polished, and truly special again. What meant just as much to me was the communication throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered questions promptly, and made me feel completely at ease. It’s rare to find a company that combines this level of skill with such genuine professionalism and care. Thank you to The Butler Did It and I will be using you again come spring!
