DOCKS & PIERS

DOCK RESTORATION

Your dock should be a place to relax, fish, and enjoy the water—not something you worry about walking on. Over time, constant exposure to water, sun, and weather can leave your dock worn, slippery, and deteriorating.

Stain Crew provides professional dock restoration that improves safety, restores appearance, and extends the life of your dock without the cost of a full rebuild.

BRING YOUR DOCK BACK TO LIFE

Dock restoration is the process of bringing your existing dock back to life through cleaning, repairs, and protective treatments.

Instead of replacing the entire structure, we restore what you already have—making it safer, stronger, and better looking.

WHAT IS DOCK RESTORATION?

  • If your dock is structurally sound but showing signs of wear, restoration is the smart and cost-effective option.

    Benefits of dock restoration:

    • Extends the life of your dock

    • Improves safety by reducing slippery, worn surfaces

    • Repairs damaged or weakened boards

    • Restores the natural look of the wood

    • Protects against moisture, algae, and sun damage

    • Saves money compared to full replacement

    • Adds protection against moisture, sun, and weather

WHY RESURFACE YOUR DECK?

SIGNS YOUR DOCK NEEDS RESTORATION

  • We take a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure long-lasting results in harsh waterfront conditions.

    Our process includes:

    • Deep cleaning to remove algae, mildew, dirt, and buildup

    • Safe pressure washing that won’t damage the wood

    • Inspection of boards and structural components

    • Replacement of damaged or unsafe boards as needed

    • Sanding and surface prep to smooth rough areas

    • Application of high-quality stain or sealer designed for water exposure

    • Final walkthrough to ensure everything is solid and safe

Not sure if your dock needs work? Look for these common issues:

  • Faded, gray, or weathered wood

  • Slippery buildup from algae or mildew

  • Splintering or rough walking surfaces

  • Loose or damaged boards

  • Peeling or worn-out stain/sealant

  • Soft spots from prolonged moisture exposure

If the structure is still solid, restoration can add years of life.
