Fiberglass decks are everywhere at the shore and nobody enjoys recoating them. We do. The trick is the prep — a deck that's been salt-blasted for five summers needs more than a roller and good intentions. Working Ventnor from the bay to the boardwalk.
Ventnor decks lean older. A lot of the oceanfront blocks have fiberglass decks installed in the 1990s or earlier, and many have never been properly recoated. By the time the call comes in, the gel coat is gone in the high-traffic zones and the substrate is starting to show.
Older Ventnor oceanfront decks frequently need to be stripped down to structural fiberglass before any refinish. That's a different scope than a quick recoat — repair first, then modern marine-grade topcoat. The Heights and bayside decks are simpler scope.
Ventnor fiberglass deck services: structural strip and rebuild, full recoats, gel-coat reconstruction, non-skid texture upgrade, drainage rework where puddling is an issue, and historic-deck refinishing where preservation matters.
Structural work bills higher than standard recoats. The walk-through identifies which one the deck actually needs.
Down to clean glass when it earns it. New non-skid texture, marine-grade topcoat, color matched.
Hairline cracks, blistering, gel-coat damage. Repaired and feathered before the topcoat.
Fresh anti-slip aggregate sized to the deck use. Pool decks, walk-out roofs, bayside docks.
Salt-fog exposure on the ocean side eats coatings faster. We spec accordingly.
