Restoration That Stands the Test

Protect the beauty and value of your Charleston home with wood restoration crafted for coastal durability. Our marine engineering approach ensures every deck, dock, and door we restore is built for enduring strength, timeless appeal, and ongoing protection.

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.

Durability

Routine maintenance is crucial for Charleston's climate, where sun, salt, and storms quickly wear down unprotected wood. Our proactive programs help you avoid costly future repairs by shielding your decks, docks, and doors against moisture, rot, and UV damage. Consistent upkeep extends your investment's lifespan and minimizes surprises.

Restoration

Every restoration brings out the authentic character of your wood features. Careful prep, expert finishes, and attention to the unique details of each project revive the original richness and depth that adds instant curb appeal.
