A Legacy of Precision
Ship Shape Deck Restoration and Wash began with a simple idea rooted in years at sea. As Marine Engineers, the founders spent seven years keeping vessels fit for ocean crossings - where each system had to withstand relentless salt, sun, and stress. Applying these principles to Charleston's wood restoration scene was a natural next step. In our work, every project starts with careful inspection and thoughtful planning, because that's what preserves safety and value in demanding environments.
Boat decks and hulls need routine attention to stay reliable; your decks, docks, and doors require the same vigilance in this climate. That's why our process focuses on preparation, weatherproofing, and scheduled maintenance, not just making things look finished for now. With discipline, technical skill, and a genuine commitment to consistent results, Ship Shape restores and protects Charleston's outdoor wood features in a way that lasts for years.
Why Choose Ship Shape

Routine maintenance is crucial for Charleston's climate, where sun, salt, and storms quickly wear down unprotected wood.

Consistent upkeep extends your investment's lifespan and minimizes surprises.
