At Ship Shape Deck Restoration and Wash, we believe that an Ipe deck is more than just a beautiful outdoor space — it’s an investment in your home’s value and your everyday enjoyment. Ipe, known for its incredible durability and rich, stunning color, is one of the finest materials available for decking. But even the best wood needs the right care to maintain its beauty over time. That’s where we come in.
Why Ipe Decks Need Specialized Care
Ipe is a dense, tropical hardwood with unique properties that require specific knowledge and techniques to restore properly. Unlike softer woods, Ipe can weather and fade if it’s not maintained with the right products and methods. Generic deck treatments often don’t penetrate its tough surface, leading to uneven finishes or early wear.
Our team specializes in Ipe deck restorations. We use carefully selected materials and procedures that are specifically designed for these exotic hardwoods. We also tailor each project based on the deck’s condition — whether it needs a deep cleaning, sanding, reconditioning, or a full restoration.
Our Process: Attention to Detail at Every Step
When you choose Ship Shape Deck Restoration and Wash, you’re getting a customized service designed to bring out the best in your deck:
- Assessment: We start by inspecting your deck’s current condition to plan the best approach.
- Cleaning & Preparation: We use professional-grade cleaners to remove dirt, mildew, and previous coatings without damaging the wood.
- Restoration & Sanding: We sand the surface to refresh the wood grain and eliminate weathered blemishes. This step is crucial in allowing the dense wood to absorb the oil deep into its fibers. Applying oil to wood that has been allowed to gray out would be totally ineffective. We make sure the wood looks brand new.
- Finishing: We apply premium hardwood oils that restore the rich color and protect your deck from the elements.
Throughout the process, we treat your property with the utmost care, working neatly and efficiently to minimize disruption.
