What We Do

IPE Deck Repair in Austin, TX

We specialize in repair and restoration. Every service designed for Central Texas conditions.

Step 1
IPE Deck Sanding
Professional sanding to remove the oxidized gray layer and open the dense wood surface for proper oil absorption. Orbital sanding equipment for even results.
Step 2
Wood Brightening Treatment
Chemical brightening after sanding — neutralizes the surface and restores IPE's natural golden tone. Critical for proper oil penetration.
Step 3
Deep Chemical Cleaning
Removes dirt, organic buildup, old oils, and sanding dust. Ensures the hardwood surface is fully prepared for finishing.
Step 4
Board Re-Fastening
Inspection and tightening of loose deck boards and fasteners. Prevents future movement and improves safety.
Step 5
Structural Repairs
Post reinforcement, railing stabilization, stair tread repair — assessed and repaired as part of the restoration process.
Final step
Hardwood Oil Application
IPE-specific oil finish applied to enhance natural color, protect from UV, improve water resistance, and prevent cracking.

Why IPE Hardwood Requires a Specialist

IPE is one of the densest tropical hardwoods used in outdoor decking. It is extremely durable, but this same density makes it challenging to restore correctly. Standard cleaning products don't penetrate effectively. Generic deck oils don't bond properly. If the restoration process is done incorrectly, the oil sits on the surface and peels rather than penetrating and protecting the wood.

We have completed multiple IPE restoration projects in Lakeway, Bee Cave, and the Lake Travis area. Our process follows the correct sequence: sanding, chemical brightening, deep cleaning, and application of a hardwood-specific oil finish. The result is a restored natural color and a protected surface that lasts.

Signs Your IPE Deck Needs Restoration

  • Gray or silver coloration — UV oxidation of the wood surface
  • Uneven color across deck boards — old finish wearing unevenly
  • Loose deck boards or fasteners
  • Worn or rough surface texture — loss of smooth natural grain
  • Weathered railings and stair posts
  • Visible checking or cracking in board surfaces
