Docks and marsh-front walkways
Docks over the marsh and Intracoastal take sun from above and moisture from below. A penetrating stain or sealer is easier to maintain than paint on these walking surfaces.

What Amelia Island property owners should know
Dune walkovers and beach stairs
Walkovers and stairs face sand abrasion and salt. Regular cleaning and re-coating keep the wood from graying and splintering.

Fence & Deck Painting in Amelia Island: FAQ
Do you stain docks on Amelia Island?
Yes. We clean and stain or seal wooden docks, boardwalks and walkovers, working in dry weather so the finish can soak in.
Should a dune walkover be painted or stained?
Stain or sealer usually works better on walking surfaces because it wears gradually rather than peeling under foot traffic and sand.
Can you stain my deck and paint the railings in different colors?
Yes. Floors can be stained while railings and spindles are painted to match your trim.
