Charleston Deck Restoration restores and repairs decks in Downtown Charleston, SC (29401, 29403). Downtown work is mostly piazzas, porch floors, rear decks squeezed onto tight lots and rooftop decks on renovated homes. Rain that blows in sideways rots porch floors from the outer edge, and shaded rear decks grow mildew between storms.
Downtown Charleston is one of the Charleston-area communities we serve. We also handle deck restoration in West Ashley, deck restoration in James Island and deck restoration in Mount Pleasant, so the same crew and the same standards cover your whole part of the Lowcountry.

Piazzas and porch floors
We replace rotted tongue-and-groove boards with matching profiles, prime every end, and repaint so the floor sheds water away from the house.
Tight lots and access
We stage materials and sanding equipment for narrow side yards, shared driveways and street parking, and clean up the sidewalk every day.
Permits and BAR review
Cleaning, staining and refinishing do not need a permit. Rebuilding a deck or piazza floor, especially where it is visible from the street, can need Board of Architectural Review approval and a City of Charleston permit. We confirm what applies and handle the paperwork.
