Get a QuoteHow often should you oil an IPE deck?+
Once a year keeps IPE rich and brown. Depending on how much sun your deck gets and how hard the winter is, some decks can stretch to once every two seasons — there is no single schedule that fits every deck.
Why does an IPE deck turn gray?+
Direct sunlight. It is normal UV weathering, not rot or damage, and it does not hurt the wood. Even a deck oiled at the time of install will gray over time and still needs service.
Can a gray IPE deck be restored?+
Almost always, yes. Even a fully grayed deck comes back to near-original brown with cleaning, sanding where needed, and a fresh coat of penetrating oil.
How do you restore a weathered IPE deck?+
We pressure wash only where it is needed, sand where the boards call for it, and finish with a penetrating oil. The board comes back to almost original life — it goes from gray to brown.
