St. Augustine's Trusted Deck Maintenance Team

A deck that gets regular attention lasts longer than one left to weather on its own. Maritime Docks and Decks Inc. handles deck maintenance across Florida for homeowners, restaurants, hotels, and waterfront properties looking to keep their outdoor space in working condition. Cleaning, sealing, staining, pressure washing, and exotic wood care all factor into the work, with the routine tailored to the material on the deck and the conditions at the site.

Our Services

Deck Cleaning

Florida humidity drives mildew, mold, and pollen buildup on every deck material. Routine cleaning with the right solution for the deck removes the buildup before it stains or degrades the surface.

Deck Sealing

Sealing protects wood decks from moisture absorption, which is the main driver of warping, splitting, and rot. Sealer choice depends on the species and the look the owner wants.

Deck Staining

Staining adds color and UV protection to wood decks, with options ranging from clear coats to solid stains. Stain interval depends on the product and the deck's sun exposure.

Deck Pressure Washing

Pressure washing removes embedded dirt, mildew, and weathered surface fibers that hand cleaning cannot reach. Pressure settings are matched to the material to avoid surface damage.

Deck Restoration

Restoration combines cleaning, sanding, and refinishing to bring an aged deck back to a usable condition. The work falls between routine maintenance and full rebuild on the project spectrum.

Exotic Wood Care

Hardwoods like Ipe require different maintenance than pressure-treated lumber or composite. Oiling, cleaning, and end-grain treatment all factor into keeping the wood looking and performing as intended.

Surface Refinishing

Refinishing addresses the top layer of the deck without replacing the boards underneath. The work is usually paired with cleaning, sanding, and a fresh seal or stain.

Types of Decks We Repair

Platform Deck

Low ground clearance traps moisture under platform decks. Maintenance includes checking ventilation and addressing any buildup beneath the surface.

Raised Deck

Raised decks expose more surface area to sun and weather. Maintenance focuses on UV protection and inspecting the visible framing alongside the deck surface.

Multi-Level Deck

Each level on a multi-level deck weathers differently based on exposure. Maintenance routines may vary between levels even on the same deck.

Freestanding Deck

Freestanding decks see weather on all sides without protection from a building. Maintenance intervals tend to be shorter than for attached decks.

Rooftop Deck

Rooftop decks face full sun exposure with no shade or shelter. Heat-resistant cleaning, UV protection, and drainage checks all factor in.

Pool and Spa Deck

Constant moisture exposure shifts the maintenance routine toward more frequent cleaning and slip-resistance checks. Chemical exposure from pool water also factors in.

Curved Deck

Curved sections collect debris differently than straight runs. Maintenance attention goes to the joints, the perimeter, and the framing supporting the curve.

Cantilevered Deck

Cantilevered edges weather harder than supported sections because of the unsupported span. Inspection of the cantilever framing is part of routine deck maintenance.

Screened or Covered Deck

Decks under cover see less direct weather and need less frequent attention. Maintenance still includes the cover structure and any drainage that runs through it.

Still have questions?

What deck maintenance services are available?

Deck maintenance services cover cleaning, sealing, staining, pressure washing, restoration, exotic wood care, hardware inspection, and surface refinishing. The mix of services depends on the deck material and the condition at the time of assessment. A maintenance plan can be set up as a one-time project or as a recurring schedule.

How often should a deck be cleaned or sealed?

Cleaning is recommended at least once or twice a year for most decks, with composite and PVC sometimes needing more frequent attention in shaded or humid areas. Wood decks typically need resealing every two to three years, though species like Ipe follow a different routine based on whether the owner wants to maintain color or let the wood weather naturally.

Can you maintain wood, composite, and PVC decks?

Yes, the deck maintenance company works on all three. Wood gets cleaning, sealing, staining, and refinishing as needed, while composite and PVC focus more on cleaning and pressure washing since they do not require sealing or staining. Hardwoods like Ipe fall under exotic wood care with their own oiling and cleaning routines.

How do you protect decks from weather damage?

Florida weather hits decks through UV exposure, humidity, salt air, and heavy rain. Routine cleaning prevents mildew and stain buildup, sealing and staining protect wood from moisture, and hardware inspections catch corrosion before it affects structural performance. The right deck maintenance services tailored to the material and the site address each of those pressures in a different way.
