If you have noticed wood rot or soft spots in your boat, it might be time to replace some of the side deck. Since this is such an important part of the vessel and wooden boats are unique, it’s best to trust an experienced professional with this job. In the sections to follow, we will outline our side deck replacement process to give you a better idea of how we can help.

Prep for Replacement

Each boat we work on is unique, and we have experience working on all types, sizes and brands of wooden boats. When we have someone in need of a side deck replacement, the first thing we do is assess the issue and make a plan for our repair. We can replace some or all of the deck, depending on the condition of the wood. We are master carpenters, and in either case we do a great deal of work to ensure the replacement pieces are identical in appearance to the wood we’re replacing. This ensures the boat will retain its original charm and functionality.

Create a Seamless Finish

When the new deck is ready to be installed, we take the time to ensure a perfect finish. As many wooden boat owners know, the finish of the exposed wood makes all the difference in appearance, and we have the experience to make your boat stand out each time it’s on the water. We take the extra time and care to apply the required coats of stain and varnish to not only make your boat look great, but to protect it for years to come.
