Some of the most beautiful decks line the Hollywood Hills, Malibu, and Beverly Hills.  Wood decks require attention to keep them looking great year round.  Many decks in Los Angeles are in need of a professional deck refinishing company because they have weathered prematurely or have been neglected all together.  </p>
<p>We have restored all types of woods used for decking such as Teak, Ipe, Mangaris, Redwood, Camaru, and Balau.  Wood decks generally turn gray to black in color because of sun damage, mold, and dirt.  Exterior horizontal wood surfaces take a beating because they are constantly exposed to sun, moisture, and debris.  Most woods used for decking are very durable and can be restored back to new condition no matter how old it is.  </p>
<p>Our methodical combination of cleaning, sanding, and coating will restore your valuable wood deck back to its beautiful state.  After our initial wood deck refinishing process, all is needed is occasional maintenance to keep it looking great.  Depending on your decks wood type, we will formulate a date to follow up with you on maintenance.  Maintenance consists of a mild cleaning and reapplication of the protective coating.  We always offer free onsite inspections of your deck to formulate the right level of deck refinishing needed.  Wood deck refinishing in Los Angeles is our specialty!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.teakmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Ipe-Deck-Refinishing-LA-Blog-Pic.jpg"><img src="http://www.teakmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Ipe-Deck-Refinishing-LA-Blog-Pic-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="Ipe Deck Refinishing Los Angeles" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-861" /></a>Are you located in Los Angeles and in need of a deck refinishing expert located in Los Angeles?  Has your valuable Ipe deck weathered or had an inferior product applied to it?  If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you have come to the right place.  Our company, Teak Master Inc. is located in Los Angeles and has restored hundreds of Ipe decks.  We have almost 20 years of hands on experience restoring and maintaining Ipe deck of all sizes and ages.<br />
If Ipe is left outside unprotected, the natural oils in the wood will oxidize gray in color.  The grain will lift slightly allowing dirt and mold to embed itself on the woods’ surface.  Some Ipe decks have become black in color because of years of neglect and harsh weathering characteristics.  Another common reason you may be searching for an Ipe deck professional is because you were recommended the wrong product to protect your deck.  There are very few protective coatings on the market today that can achieve the high level of protection we require for our clients.  If you have a product that was applied to your deck that has weathered badly it can be restored to its original look.  After a thorough deck refinishing the correct protective coating will be applied to maintain your valuable Ipe deck easily and cost effectively.</p>
<p>Our thorough deck refinishing process will include cleaning, stripping, sanding brightening, and coating.  Our company specializes in taking no shortcuts when it comes to restoring and maintaining your Ipe deck.  Below is a client testimonial says it all:</p>
<p>“My husband and I are very pleased with the service and quality of work received from Teak Master. Tim Gilliam answered all our questions, and explained the whole cleaning process for our hardwood decks and teak patio furniture. We had tried another company that I regret to admit was located 4 counties away from us.  When their crew of 2 showed up they couldn’t leave fast enough.  They power washed the deck, did not sand, and used a pump sprayer to apply the finish which got all over our stone, all in less than a full day!  The owner never responded to my emails about the deck turning black 2 months after the work.  The Teak Master crew was the exact opposite!  Their crew of 5 did an thorough cleaning, intense sanding, and were clean beyond belief.  The process took about 2.5 days and the end results are excellent &#8211; beyond our expectations. My husband is an architect and I am a designer, so the physical appearance of our home is a reflection of the quality of our work.  We found Tim to be very responsive in coming to visit our home to give an estimate and scheduling the work.  We are greatly relieved to have our decks now presentable.”<br />
-Susan K, Santa Paula</p>
<p>If you are located in Los Angeles and have an Ipe deck that has worn badly we can fix it.  We offer periodic deck maintenance to keep it in tip top shape.  Annual Ipe deck maintenance will eliminate the need for deck refinishing in the future.  All estimates are always free and onsite deck evaluations can be done immediately for residents of Los Angeles.</p>

We have been cleaning and refinishing outdoor teak furniture in Los Angeles for nearly two decades.  If you have teak furniture that has changed from the beautiful hues of blonde to a gray and black look, it can be cleaned and restored back to new a new state.<br />
Teak furniture that is outside in the elements in Los Angeles takes a beating.  From the sweltering heat of the valley to the moist salt air of the coast, Los Angeles’ climate can wreak havoc on outdoor teak furniture if it is not cleaned or restored periodically.  </p>
<p>Our teak cleaning process consists of gently removing the top layer of dirt, oxidation, and mold from the woods’ surface.  After the wood has thoroughly dried it can be left raw giving it the most natural look.  Remember, the wood is going to be left raw and unprotected so it will need to be cleaned periodically to keep it free from mold and dirt.<br />
If you are looking to have your teak furniture restored back to its original color it should be sealed.  We begin this process with gentle teak cleaning.  We do not use chemicals during this process unless your teak furniture has a deteriorating finish on it that needs to be chemically removed.  The furniture will be sanded to remove dirt and oxidation and it will restore a smooth texture back to the wood.  The wood will be sealed to protect it from the harsh Los Angeles climate.  Teak Master is a Los Angeles based teak cleaning company dedicated to providing the finest service to our clients.  Make an informed choice by hiring the licensed company with years of hands on experience restoring exterior wood surfaces that is actually located in Los Angeles; Teak Master.</p>

Ipe deck care is relatively easy once your deck is properly coated.  If you wish to preserve the natural look and texture of your Ipe deck it needs to have a protective coating applied to it. Starting off with the right product is not easy without experience. There are many products on the market that claim they are best in protecting Ipe wood decks.  The fact of the matter is that there are truly only a few products on the market that can lay claim to that statement.  With our wealth of knowledge working with Ipe woods decks from Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego we have narrowed down the best products on the market for easy Ipe deck care.</p>
<p>Once your Ipe deck has been restored by Teak Master it can be maintained with relative ease.  If your new Ipe deck needs to be coated it is essential to start off with the correct coating so it can be cared for easily.  Our oil based sealers will protect your Ipe wood deck by adding natural oils deep into the dense Ipe wood.  There are only a couple products on the market that we use we feel have the proper penetrating solvents need for Ipe decks.  The sealers will enhance the natural color of your Ipe deck while keeping it matte.  Over time our UV protecting sealers will dissipate and will need to be recoated.</p>
<p>Proper Ipe deck care will involve a mild cleaning every 6-12 months.  Your wood deck can be recoated and polished, similar to polishing a dining room wood table, every 6-12 months. Your valuable Ipe deck will stay looking great for many years to come with this simple care technique.  Ipe deck care is easy with the most recognized deck refinishing company in the country!</p>

Ipe is an extremely dense hardwood from South America.  It has become increasingly popular for use on decks, siding, and outdoor furniture.  Ipe is very durable because of its tight grain and high oil content.  If Ipe is outside unprotected the natural oils in the wood will oxidize, leaving it gray in color.  The grain of the wood will also lift and become slightly rough.  Although Ipe is extremely durable and does not technically need any protection to prolong its life, it does however need protection to keep its natural color.</p>
<p>If you have an Ipe deck that has weathered gray you may be perplexed on how to get it back to its original condition.  Although there are clients that like the gray weathered look of an Ipe deck, most prefer to keep it’s in its original color.  Ipe decks that have weathered gray in color can always be brought back to new condition.  This is the beauty of investing in a durable and high quality wood such as Ipe.<br />
Our Ipe deck refinishing process will clean off the top layer of oxidation.  Thorough sanding will remove any remaining oxidation or mold and will also restore a smooth texture back to the surface of the wood.  Wood brightening agents will be applied to promote color.  A protective coating will be applied to enhance the natural reddish brown color of your Ipe deck.  The coating penetrates into the wood and dries matte.  The look is absolutely amazing.  Your Ipe deck can be saved from the unsightly gray and dirty look.</p>
<p>If your Ipe deck has been coated with an inferior product it can be stripped, refinished, and coated with the correct product.  We encounter beautifully built decks with the wrong product on it on a daily basis.  Many contractors are great at building quality decks but do not necessarily have the knowledge of the appropriate coatings to keep its color.  Many so called deck professionals use substandard practices when restoring and coating Ipe decks.  We can reverse the damage caused by these companies.  Teak Master has specialized in Ipe deck refinishing for hundred of clients throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, Santa Barbara, San Diego and all of Southern California for almost two decades.  </p>

It is a fact that maintenance is important to preserve the beautiful color of your teak furniture.  Without protection teak wood naturally oxidizes and turns gray in color.  The grain of the wood will lift and dirt and mold will lodge itself on the rough woods’ surface.  Most of our clients find that simply doing nothing as many furniture companies state in their care instructions is not the route they want to venture into.  Most of our clients are attracted to teak furniture because of its beautiful color and smooth texture.</p>
<p>If your outdoor teak furniture has been restored by our teak refinishing services it can be maintained annually to keep its natural look.  If your new teak furniture has been properly coated with our new teak sealing program all that is required is annual teak maintenance to keep it looking its best.  With our annual teak furniture maintenance service there should never by the need to have a full teak restoration performed again.  Our protective coatings penetrate deep into the dense teak wood adding more of the natural oils found in teak wood.  Over time these natural oils will eventually dissipate.  We recommend recoating teak furniture every 8 to 12 months.  Unfortunately there is not a “bullet proof” miracle product in existence that will keep teak from weathering for years.  There is however simple planned teak maintenance that can keep it protected for its entire life.  Our planned teak maintenance program alerts you when it is time to recoat.  Of course whenever you feel it is time for another fresh coat just contact us and our teak maintenance technicians will perform the work within a couple days of your call.  Teak maintenance is a breeze with Teak Master.</p>

We specialize in applying all types of deck coatings and stains depending on the type of wood your deck is made of and your desired aesthetic.  </p>
<p>It is a fact that different wood decks require different protective coatings depending on their wood type.  Softer hardwood such as Redwood, Cedar, and Douglas Fir will accept many different types of stains.  Oil based stains are generally considered the longest lasting and best looking.  However, finding a quality oil based deck stain is becoming increasingly difficult due to California VOC restrictions.  Many companies are offering quality water-based deck stains that are long lasting and come in a variety of different colors and opacities.</p>
<p>Our company offers all deck stains and opacities.  We offer semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid deck stains for certain wood types.  Hardwood decks require different sealers that can come in a variety of different tints.</p>

When your mahogany deck has weathered gray in color, it is time for professional Mahogany deck restoration.  If your valuable Mahogany deck was previously coated and the finish is starting to blister and peel, it is ready to be refinished.  Although Mahogany decks are rare, our 16 years of hands on experience refinishing and maintaining them brands Teak Master Inc. as one of the most knowledgeable companies in the world.  </p>
<p>When a Mahogany deck has oxidized, it will be gray in color.  When Mahogany is outdoors unprotected it weathers gray because the natural oils in the wood oxidizes and the grain will lift.  Dirt, mold, and debris will settle in the grain of the wood and making your valuable Mahogany deck look atrocious.  There are very few protective coatings for Mahogany decks that stand up to the unforgiving effects of weather.  If your deck has been coated with an inferior product that has begun to weather badly, we can remove it and start with right correct protective finish.<br />
Constant testing to narrow down the best products to protect and maintain Mahogany decks will give your deck the finest defense against weathering.  Our process will clean, sand, and coat your deck to bring it back to its original appearance and texture.  We provide Mahogany deck refinishing and restoration to all of Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura, and San Diego.  Free onsite estimates and evaluations are handled within 24 hours.</p>

Teak Refinishing in Palm Springs means applying our refinishing techniques to transform your valuable teak furniture back to new.  The sweltering heat of Palm Springs can wreak havoc on teak furniture if it is not protected correctly.

We have been restoring and maintaining redwood siding for residential and commercial clients throughout Southern California for over 15 years.  Over the course of the past decade plantation grown redwood has been an eco friendly and sustainable way to add beauty to homes and commercial environments.  Natural wood exposed outdoor in nature’s elements needs periodic maintenance to keep it looking its best.  Vertical surfaces generally need less care than horizontal surfaces because dirt and water do not sit on top of them.  Vertical surfaces such as redwood siding do get a good amount of sun throughout the day that can discolor the natural look of the wood.</p>
<p>If your redwood siding has become discolored and lost its beautiful natural look it can be restored back to new condition again.  Our redwood siding restoration process will remove the dirt and mold that attacks redwood siding.  Thorough sanding will smooth out rough areas and ensure all previous coatings, mold, and dirt is removed.  Sanding also allows the coatings to adhere to the wood correctly.  We offer a wide range of protective coatings for redwood siding to suit your needs.  We offer coatings that are semi transparent, semi solid, and solid according to the opacity you are trying to achieve.  Our coatings come in a variety of sheens to suit your needs.  We offer free on site quotes to all of Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, San Diego, and Palm Springs.  We are licensed, insured, and bonded and are trusted by thousands of residential and commercial clients as the foremost experts in redwood siding refinishing, restoration, and maintenance.</p>

Orange County California is home to many of the most beautiful beach communities and cities in the world.  Outdoor teak furniture is definitely the choice of most homeowners in Orange County prefer for patio furniture.  Having teak furniture outside has periodic maintenance to keep it clean and looking its best.  Over time teak furniture naturally oxidizes in the sun.  Dirt and mold embed themselves in the grain of the wood and discoloration happens.  Teak furniture cleaning is needed to keep the wood free of dirt and mold.  If you prefer a raw natural look to your teak furniture, our teak cleaning services can keep the natural unfinished look while ridding the wood from contaminants.  </p>
<p>We also offer teak cleaning for clients who prefer to keep their teak furniture naturally gray or oxidized.  Weathered teak furniture (gray) can be just as beautiful as sealed teak furniture.  We clean and maintain outdoor teak furniture that has grayed for clients throughout Orange County.  Our teak cleaning process will remove the dirt and mold that sits on the woods surface.  Our patina promoting agents will help the wood gray evenly and can accelerate the process.  Please feel free to take a look at our before and after gallery for examples of oxidized and gray maintained outdoor teak furniture for clients in Orange County.</p>

It is always best to hire a local company that understands the different climates of Los Angeles.  For instance, a new Mangaris deck will need to be coated more often throughout the year if it is near a beach such as Malibu.  The salt air and sun will naturally wear any finish that is applied to the wood.  The key to keeping new Mangaris wood decks looking their best is maintenance.  The coatings we apply to Mangaris decks penetrate deep into the hard dense wood.  Over time the coating will naturally and evenly fade.  The coating will need to be reapplied to keep it looking clean and new.  This is where being located in Los Angeles and Orange County comes in.  Our large crew of trained Mangaris deck experts can quickly and efficiently maintain your deck.  Our centralized location allows us to service Los Angeles and Orange County immediately. </p>
<p>If you are located in Los Angeles and are in need of Mangaris deck restoration and refinishing you have come to the right place.  We understand the needs of Mangaris decks in the different climate areas of Los Angeles.  If your Mangaris deck has lost its beautiful color it can be restored back to brand new condition.  There are several steps involved in our restoration process such as cleaning, intense multiple levels of sanding, and applying a protective coating.  When we come out to bid your deck restoration project we will recommend a maintenance schedule to you at that time.  We follow up with simple reminders letting you know it’s time to reseal.  We never lock you in to pesky contracts that hold you hostage to our services.  We believe our superior attention to detail and stellar customer service will win you over as a client of Teak Master for your Mangaris decks’ entire life.</p>

The exact definition of teak furniture cleaning will vary depending on who you ask.  Many people define teak cleaning as simply removing dirt, mold, and oxidation off of outdoor teak furniture.  There are several ways to “clean” teak furniture.  The most common way is by simply using a little elbow grease and mild soap and water.  Results of the average homeowner who performs their own teak cleaning will obviously vary.  The most difficult part of cleaning teak is getting in between all the slats and moving parts.  Only a true teak professional has the knowledge and skill to clean all parts of teak furniture without damaging it.  Yes, it is possible to damage outdoor teak furniture.  Over cleaning can result in a “furry” appearance on the surface of the teak wood.  Over scrubbing or even power washing can leave deep grooves in the grain of the wood.</p>
<p>Many clients who are interested in having their teak furniture cleaned want a raw, natural appearance.  Clients that prefer teak cleaning generally do not want a protective finish on the surface of their teak furniture.  They merely want a clean look and also want a clean surface to sit and dine on.</p>
<p>Cleaning teak furniture to promote a gray or oxidized look is another definition to take a look at.  Many of our clients prefer a gray look for their outdoor teak furniture.  The oils in teak wood will naturally oxidize when exposed to sunlight.  The grain also tends to lift and dirt and mold can embed itself in the grain.  Teak is naturally susceptible to mold if it is used outdoor unprotected.  Our teak cleaning services to promote the gray or oxidized look of teak furniture will remove dirt and mold from the woods’ surface.  The gentle cleaning will leave the natural oxidation while alleviating dirt and mold from the wood.</p>

Mangaris wood has become increasingly popular in use of wood decking in Orange County.  It is a great choice for decking because of its resilience to rot and decay.  Mangaris brand wood is a great choice because it gives a beautiful long lasting aesthetic to any home.  There is maintenance that comes along with owning Mangaris or any other type of natural wood deck.  </p>
<p>What most our clients do not understand is that Mangaris wood itself is just a name.  There is no such thing as a Mangaris tree.  Mangaris is a brand of wood used in decking and siding.  The Mangaris wood brand uses Red Balau and Yellow Balau from Indonesia for their line.  Both of these woods come in different colors.  Mangaris has also been made from Merbau from India and Australia and is similar in grain and density to Ipe.<br />
Orange County California is constantly on the forefront of new materials for building.  Contractors are using Mangaris as an alternative to the more expensive Ipe and Teak wood that has been used for years.  Mangaris wood needs attention.  If the wood is untreated the effects of sun, rain, and moisture will change the color of the wood almost immediately.  </p>
<p>If you own a Mangaris deck that has weathered and you are located in Orange County, not to worry, it can be restored back to new.  This is the beauty of using quality timber such as Mangaris for use in decking.  Our deck refinishing process will clean the wood to remove impurities.  The wood will be sanded to remove remaining impurities and smooth the texture.  The wood will be washed thoroughly to remove dust embedded in the grain.  Deep penetrating sealers are applied to protect the wood from premature graying.  </p>
<p>If you own a Mangaris deck and have noticed changes in its appearance please give us a call today.  If you have a new Mangaris deck or are thinking of having one built, give us a call to have it protected the right way from the beginning.  If you are interested in care and maintenance of a Mangaris deck, or simply have questions, we are here to help you.</p>

It is essential to coat your valuable teak furniture with a quality product that is easy to apply and easy to maintain.  It is a fact that there are no “bullet proof” products on the market that will last for more than a year or so.  We have narrowed down the best teak sealers on the market by using and applying them in different environments over the course of years.  </p>
<p>The easiest way to protect and maintain your teak furniture is by having a professional servicing Los Angeles and Orange County seal it.  Our teak furniture sealers are specifically formulated to penetrate deep into the dense teak wood.  Our teak sealers come in different natural tints depending on the look you are trying to achieve.  Our teak furniture sealing process is always applied by hand with natural bristle brushes specifically designed for marine teak sealers.  Teak furniture sealing will slightly darken the teak wood depending on the color you choose.  Natural teak sealer will keep the wood as close to its original color as possible, while other color will slightly alter the woods appearance.</p>
<p>We recommend sealing new teak furniture within one week after purchase.  We recommend maintaining all of our teak restoration and teak refinishing projects with marine quality teak sealers.  Teak sealer allows the wood to maintained with relative ease.  Varnishes, polyurethanes, and other hard finishes are difficult to apply and blister and peel in a year.  These finishes do not add greater longevity compared to quality teak sealers.  If you have purchased new outdoor teak furniture, interested in having your weathered teak furniture restored, or would like more information about teak furniture sealing give us a call today.</p>

There is no question that outdoor teak furniture is the most popular choice of homeowners in Laguna Beach.  Laguna Beach is a city that has teak furniture in its city parks, beaches, restaurants, and homes.  It is a fact that Laguna Beach has a harsh weathering pattern.  Most of the city is doused daily by mist and moisture from the ocean.  The morning mist is mixed with salt and can wreak havoc on teak furniture.  If you own outdoor teak furniture in Laguna Beach and it has weathered grayish black in color it can be restored back to its original look and texture.</p>
<p>We can clean the teak wood to remove the dirt and mold that sits in the grain.  Sanding the entire piece of furniture is the next step.  Sanding the teak furniture is important because it removes all remaining discoloration and smooth’s the woods’ surface.  After the wood has been fully sanded it will be treated to prevent mold and eliminate mold.  The final step is application of the protective coating.  We recommend coating the wood with teak sealer.  Marine teak sealer lasts about a year, is cost effective, and is easy to maintain.  We also offer a wide array of protective finishes to suit your needs such as marine varnish and polyurethane.  These finishes are only recommended under a covered patio.  Semi transparent, semi solid and solid finishes are also available.  If you are located in Laguna Beach and have questions about refinishing your teak furniture, give us a call today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are referred by high end patio retailers, designers, contractors, and teak furniture manufacturers as source for expert teak furniture refinishing, teak maintenance, teak furniture repair, and advice.  Clients that are referred to us by our industry partners often ask a recurring question, “Can you restore our existing weathered teak furniture to our new teak furniture we just purchased?”  The answer is yes!</p>
<p>The beauty of teak furniture is that it can always be restored back to new condition.  There are several ways to accomplish restoring weathered teak furniture back to its original condition.  Cleaning the wood’s surface is the best way to remove surface dirt and mold.  A stripping agent may be required if your weathered teak furniture has a deteriorating finish on it such as varnish or teak oil.  Thorough sanding is needed to remove oxidation and any finish that may exist of the wood’s surface.  Multiple levels of sanding will restore the smooth texture of your teak furniture.  A mild cleaning with a wood brightener will restore the natural color of the teak wood and kill any mold that may still be present.  Your weathered teak furniture is now just a memory and is ready to be coated.  </p>
<p>Your newly restored teak furniture and your new teak furniture now match and are ready to be coated.  Our protective coatings penetrate deep into the hard teak wood to provide the best defense against weather.  Our finishes come in natural colors and are also available in different tints to suit your design needs.  </p>

Building contractors and architects throughout Southern California have been implementing the use of Ipe siding into their designs for years.  Ipe siding adds a sustainable approach when building homes.  Ipe is a great choice for siding because of its strength, durability and color. </p>
<p>The best way to keep the natural color of Ipe siding is to coat it with the right finish from the beginning.  Proper coating is essential because Ipe needs constant attention to keep it looking fresh and new.  The hard dense Ipe wood is high in oil content and does not allow many finishes to adhere and penetrate.  We have years of experience protecting, refinishing, and maintaining Ipe siding for hundreds of clients.  Our hands on experience has allowed us to narrow down the best protective coatings for Ipe siding.  Our finishes leave the wood looking natural and matte while preventing it from the harsh effects of weathering.</p>
<p>If the look of your Ipe siding has gotten away from you, it may need to be refinished.  We can remove previous coatings and also remove graying and water stains from your siding.  Our service includes the use of scaffolding to get to those hard to reach places.  We have refinished and maintained entire homes with Ipe siding for many clients throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.  If your beautiful Ipe siding needs refinishing or your new Ipe siding needs to be coated, give us a call today to schedule a free on site estimate.</p>
