Owning a wooden boat is a commitment to ensuring it is clean, well maintained and protected from the elements. While it’s true a wooden boat requires a deeper level of care, there is nothing like the experience, appearance and nostalgia a wooden boat provides to its owner.
One element of wooden boat ownership which is important to the ability to enjoy the boat and its longevity on the water is the detailing process. Regular detailing has many benefits, and we are experienced in providing regular detailing services for boats in and around Lake Tahoe as well as from afar.
We specialize in all types of services for wooden boats, including detailing, restoration, repairs and maintenance, and in this article we will focus on the detailing service we offer. In the sections to follow, we will discuss a few important benefits which can be enjoyed by regular detailing done by an experienced professional.
Maintain Appearance and Experience
The primary purpose of wooden boat detailing is to keep the boat looking its best. Wooden boats are unique vessels and when they are detailed a professional, they will continue to turn heads every time you take them out. We have a great deal of experience caring for wooden boats, and we will use the right cleaning methods and products to ensure the boat looks great but is not harmed during the detailing process. By regularly keeping your boat clean inside and outside, you can fully enjoy it and live the ideal wooden boat lifestyle all summer long.
Ensure the Wood is Protected
While detailing is an important part of wooden boat care, it’s important to have it done by a professional to ensure your boat lasts and is protected from the elements. Wooden boats must be properly sealed and the varnish/paint on the boat helps the wood to remain free from rot or exposure to dirt, salt, etc. When a boat is detailed, even when mild soap is used, some of this protection can wear off. Each time we detail a boat, we are sure to reapply wax, protectants and other coatings as needed to ensure it not only looks great but also to ensure the wood is not exposed to harmful substances.
Identify Issues Before They Arise
Our team is passionate about wooden boat repair, maintenance and restoration, and since our owner has over 25 years of experience, we can help to identify any issues when we detail a boat. We understand checking for issues typically isn’t part of the detailing process, and no owner wants to have an unexpected expense arise when they just expected a detailing, but over the years we have found small issues during the detailing process which could be easily corrected. By performing these easy repairs, we saved the owners a great deal of trouble, and if we do see a potential issue during the detailing process we will discuss it with you in detail and gain your approval before making any repairs.
