Quick-Fire Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wood surfaces does Ship Shape Deck Restoration refinish and restore?
Ship Shape Deck Restoration specializes in refinishing and restoring a wide range of exterior wood surfaces, including decks, front doors, garage doors, pergolas, gazebos, fences, siding, and outdoor furniture. We work with traditional woods like pine and cedar as well as exotic hardwoods such as Ipe, Teak, Cumaru, Mahogany, Mangaris (Red Balau), Redwood, and Thermory.
Why should I choose Ship Shape Deck Restoration over other companies?
Ship Shape Deck Restoration is a family-owned, owner-operated company led by twin brothers with marine engineering backgrounds. We are known for our unmatched attention to detail, high-quality standards, and customer-first approach. Our focus on education, communication, and long-lasting results has earned us a strong reputation and 100% satisfaction commitment on every project.
Do you use stains and finishes that are safe for coastal environments?
We use high-quality, professional-grade stains and sealers designed to withstand UV exposure, humidity, salt air, and temperature fluctuations common in coastal South Carolina. These finishes penetrate deeply and provide long-lasting protection rather than just surface-level coverage.
Do you offer maintenance plans for decks and exotic hardwoods?
We provide ongoing maintenance services for decks and exotic hardwood surfaces, including scheduled cleanings, re-oiling, and protective treatments. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your outdoor spaces looking their best year-round.
