Deck Restoration & Refinishing in North Carolina

A Smart Alternative to Total Replacement

Restore What’s Solid, Replace What’s Not

Our restoration process begins with a full inspection to assess your deck’s frame, boards, and railings. We identify which components are structurally sound and which need attention. From there, we clean and strip the surface, replace any rotted or warped wood, and apply a fresh coat of stain or sealant that enhances appearance and extends lifespan. It’s a cost-effective way to make your deck look and feel new again.

Protect Your Deck From Further Damage

Sanding, Sealing, and Staining Done Right

Deck refinishing is more than a cosmetic touch-up—it’s a protective reset. We carefully sand down splinters, strip peeling coatings, and clean away mold, dirt, and UV buildup. Our sealing and staining process enhances water resistance and protects against sun damage, which is critical in humid and hot North Carolina conditions. Your deck not only looks better—it lasts longer.

  • Deep cleaning with pressure wash & safe solutions

  • Sanding and surface prep for smooth, even finish

  • Oil-based or water-based sealant options available

Natural Color, Rich Finish, Long-Term Protection

Weathered cedar and pressure-treated lumber often turn gray or blotchy with time. Our restoration brings back the color and grain of natural wood. We use professional-grade stains and sealers designed for North Carolina’s climate—formulated to resist mildew, UV fading, and water penetration. Whether you want to match a previous tone or try something bold and new, we’ve got options for every look.

Safety and Stability Come First

We Repair While We Refinish

Before we stain or seal anything, we address structural concerns. Loose railings, popped nails, cracked boards, and unstable stairs get fixed first. We reinforce weak areas and replace damaged wood with matching material. Our goal is to leave you with a deck that’s not only beautiful—but also safe, sturdy, and ready to use for years to come.
