about
Scott, Chad, & Mark
Owned and operated by brothers Scott, Chad, and Mark Knapmiller, SMS is a marine service company based out of Lake Onalaska, serving the surrounding area. The business idea blossomed from Chad’s needs with owning Schafer's River Rentals, and quickly grew to be much more.
Starting out only servicing Chad’s docks and shoreline, the business idea quickly evolved as more interest was gained from patrons and lake Onalaska shoreline residents. The foundation for SMS was formed, and for the next two years Scott, Chad, and Mark worked on coming up with a plan based around the unique new business.
5 years and almost 1,500 happy customers later, Schafer’s Marine has grown to be your go-to marine service provider. From vehicle salvage, to tree removal or dock repair, we have the wisdom and resources to do it all, so give us a call.
