Decks facing the marsh get full sun and salt air. We use penetrating stains with strong UV blockers and stainless or coated fasteners.
Docks
Many James Island homes have private docks. We re-board walkways and pier heads and seal them with the house deck in one visit.
Permits
James Island addresses may fall under the Town of James Island, the City of Charleston or Charleston County. Staining needs no permit. We confirm the right office for any replacement work.
