WOODEN BOAT
Deck Replacement
The deck of your boat is where you and your guests will spend most of your time and it protects the inner workings of the boat in many cases. On a wooden boat, the deck is often exposed to sunlight and the elements, and in time the deck could need to be replaced. When this happens, turn to a professional who can handle the job with care and expertise.

FAQs
When is deck replacement necessary?
A wooden boat’s deck is a place where the wood often becomes damaged, soft or warped when it’s not properly cared for. Since the deck is walked on, in the sunlight and exposed to accidental drops, deck replacements are fairly common. Many restoration projects involve deck replacement, and even if your boat is in generally good condition a deck replacement could be necessary if the wood begins to bow, rot or otherwise breaks due to an accident. If you notice weak or soft points in the deck’s wood, it’s best to have them checked out before a major problem arises.
What is involved in wooden boat deck replacement?
When working with antique wooden boats, replacing any wooden components requires a steady hand, a great deal of experience and the right equipment. When we take on a deck replacement job, we first determine the extent of the damage and remove the necessary amount of wood. Then we craft the ideal replacement section(s) out of the same type of wood or a similar species to the original to give it the same look and feel as it had when it left the showroom. Once the new wood is installed, the finishing process begins. The quality of the finish sets apart our service because we take the time and care to ensure a perfect match and an ideal appearance for every boat we work on.
