Ipe & Hardwood Deck Restoration Services
Specialized restoration for Ipe, Cumaru, Garapa, and all tropical hardwoods — South Florida's most trusted hardwood deck professionals.
Why Hardwood Restoration Requires Specialists
Ipe and other tropical hardwoods are among the densest, most durable decking materials available — but that density is exactly what makes them unforgiving of improper care. Standard deck contractors, pressure washers, and DIY approaches that work fine on pressure-treated pine can permanently damage Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa.
At Florida Deck Refurbishing, every service we offer is specifically designed for dense tropical hardwoods. We use professional-grade equipment, hardwood-specific products, and techniques refined over 20+ years and thousands of projects across South Florida, coastal Georgia, and Hilton Head.
