Fort Lauderdale Ipe Refurbishing

Professional Ipe (I-P-E) deck refurbishing in Fort Lauderdale requires a marine-grade mindset. With direct exposure to salt air, intense sunlight, waterfront moisture, and constant environmental wear, Ipe decks in Fort Lauderdale demand a restoration approach that goes far beyond basic cleaning or oiling.

At Florida Deck Refurbishing, we specialize in Ipe deck refurbishing, refinishing, and marine hardwood restoration for Fort Lauderdale homes, docks, and commercial properties. With more than 20 years of experience, we understand how exotic hardwoods perform — and fail — in true coastal environments.

Fort Lauderdale Ipe decks are subjected to some of the harshest conditions in South Florida, including:

• Direct salt spray from canals and Intracoastal waterways 
• Prolonged UV exposure with minimal shade 
• Standing moisture on docks and waterfront decks 
• Accelerated fastener and surface oxidation
   

Improper maintenance can permanently damage Ipe, causing surface checking, uneven wear, and premature graying. Many decks are harmed by aggressive pressure washing or topical sealers that trap moisture rather than protect the wood.

Our Fort Lauderdale Ipe refurbishing specialists restore hardwood decks using methods designed specifically for high-exposure marine conditions.

Every Fort Lauderdale Ipe deck restoration follows a marine-focused process designed for longevity and performance.

We remove salt residue, organic growth, and environmental buildup while preserving the dense wood fibers and natural oils of Ipe.

Targeted sanding corrects raised grain, weathering, and uneven wear caused by constant sun and moisture exposure.

We stabilize the wood surface to ensure proper absorption and long-term performance in coastal conditions.

A premium oil system formulated for exotic hardwoods is applied to protect against UV degradation, salt intrusion, and moisture retention.

This approach restores appearance and reinforces the deck’s resistance to Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront environment.
