Ship Shape Deck Restoration & Wash

Built on Marine-Grade Discipline — Designed for Charleston’s Coast
Ship Shape Deck Restoration was founded by twin brothers and Marine Engineers who spent seven years maintaining vessels in unforgiving ocean conditions. Salt air, UV exposure, moisture intrusion, and structural stress were daily realities — and failure wasn’t cosmetic, it was costly.
Charleston’s coastal climate presents the same threats to outdoor wood. Decks, docks, exterior doors, and wood fences are constantly exposed to humidity, sun, and salt-laden air that accelerate deterioration.
That’s why our deck restoration, dock restoration, and door refinishing services in Charleston are built around marine-grade standards — not basic residential stains.
Our system includes:
-Detailed structural inspection before any work begins
-Proper moisture control and surface preparation
-Multi-coat application using premium marine-grade finishes, including Epifanes systems for doors and high-performance exterior systems for decks, docks, and fences
-Scheduled maintenance planning to protect the finish long after installation
We don’t offer quick cosmetic refreshes.
We deliver coastal-grade protection designed to extend the life of your investment — and prevent you from facing premature replacement costs again.
Why Homeowners Choose Ship Shape Restoration and Wash
A Smarter Maintenance Strategy
Charleston’s sun, humidity, and salt air naturally wear down exterior wood finishes. Fading over time is environmental reality — not a shortcut in workmanship.
We don’t promise permanence.
We restore wood properly the first time and establish a predictable maintenance plan that keeps long-term costs controlled. Instead of facing multi-thousand-dollar repairs or premature replacement, most clients transition to manageable annual touch-ups that protect their investment without surprises.
It’s a proactive preservation plan — not a reactive repair cycle.
Restoration Done Correctly
Every project begins with detailed inspection and preparation. We remove failing finishes, address surface issues, and apply professional-grade systems designed specifically for Charleston’s coastal conditions.
This isn’t a cosmetic refresh.
It’s a full restoration that revives the natural character of your decks, docks, doors, and fences — while setting them up for structured upkeep.
Disciplined, Professional Process
Founded by Marine Engineers, Ship Shape operates with defined systems and clear communication. From consultation through final walkthrough, every project follows disciplined standards.
