It’s that time of year again to make an appointment for refinishing IPE Deck . Dear clients , we only have 2 available dates to start your project left in May and June. Call us if you want to enjoy a beautiful finished ipe deck.

Ipe’ decking, cumaru, jatoba, and tigerwood hardwood decking is the most beautiful decking in the world. To maintain the color and pronounced grain patterns, you must finish the deck periodically with a good oil-based deck finish made especially for hardwoods.

When ipe’ and these other decking choices are not finished, the pigment will wash out, the color will fade and the boards will gray over time. All wood grays but the lively color of these woods can be restored. The restoration is fantastic and the wood looks new again. Ipe wood decking is a very hard, exotic Brazilian walnut with a dense interlocking grain, and is indigenous to South and Central America. It scores 3,680 out of 4,000 on the wood hardness Janka scale, compared to 1,360 for White Oak and 870 for Southern Yellow Pine, making it one of the hardest woods available. The dense grain structure makes it naturally resistant to moisture, scratches, weathering, insects, mold, mildew, and even fire, so it will outlast most other decking.

Cleaning your hardwood deck does not require the use of a pressure washer. As a matter of fact it is recommended you do not use a pressure washer on hardwoods as they leave streaking and often tend to raise the grain giving a rough undesirable surface. They can also damage surrounding structures.
