The Problem We Solve

A Wooden Dock Surface on a Coastal NC Waterway Has a Short Life Expectancy.

In Southport, at the junction of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic, docks face extreme conditions. Salt, brackish water, and UV rays degrade wood surfaces, while storm surges cause additional damage. Consequently, most wooden docks in coastal Brunswick County require major maintenance every five to seven years.

Wood Dock Surfaces Rot, Splinter, and Become Unsafe

Softened or splintering dock boards are significant safety liabilities, not just cosmetic flaws. Aluminum decking eliminates the risks of injury to bare feet and structural flexing under load.

Constant Maintenance That Never Ends

Wooden docks require annual sealing and repairs. Marine conditions speed up decay, making upkeep more frequent and less effective than for land-based decks.

Materials That Were Not Built for Marine Exposure

Unlike standard pressure-treated lumber made for land, AlumaDeck was engineered specifically for the harsh saltwater, UV, and biological demands of coastal waterways.

What Makes It Stand Out

  • Powder-coated finish; saltwater tested, withstands salt air, brackish water, and tidal moisture cycling
  • Self-spacing watertight plank construction channels water through the deck and away from the frame
  • Slip-resistant textured surface reduces risk of falls on wet dock surfaces
  • Stays cooler underfoot than wood or composite in direct coastal sun
  • Screw and thru-bolt mounting reinforces your existing frame while securing the new surface
  • Suitable for residential docks, commercial piers, and public boardwalks
  • Mold and mildew resistant in year-round wet marine conditions
  • Essentially maintenance-free; no sealing, staining, or board replacement required

Sunspace AlumaDeck for Dock Resurfacing and Re-Decking

Marine-Grade. Maintenance-Free. Built for Coastal Waterways.

Eastern Sunrooms replaces worn wooden dock surfaces and seawall walkways with marine-grade Sunspace AlumaDeck. Using screw or thru-bolt mounting, we reinforce existing, sound frames without installing new pilings. Our aluminum system outlasts wood or composite with significantly lower maintenance costs.

Watertight, slip-resistant, and compliant, AlumaDeck stays cooler in the sun and resists corrosion, mold, and fire. Most residential dock resurfacing projects are finished within two to four days.

Where We Work

From Private Home Docks to Commercial Boardwalks

AlumaDeck is suitable for every type of dock surface resurfacing in the coastal NC environment. We work across the full range of waterfront applications in Brunswick County and the Cape Fear region.

Residential Home Docks

We resurface private docks on the Intracoastal and Cape Fear River. For sound frames, we replace surfaces in two to four days, providing durable, decades-long results without disrupting your home.

Floating Docks

AlumaDeck’s lightweight aluminum endures the waves and load changes that damage standard decks. Its watertight engineering also prevents the moisture-based rot common in wooden floating surfaces.

Seawall Walkways

Coastal seawall walkways face constant moisture. AlumaDeck’s corrosion-resistant, slip-resistant surface is ideal for resurfacing these structures in North Carolina’s maritime climate.

Commercial Piers and Boardwalks

Rated for high traffic and commercial exposure, AlumaDeck provides the durability and compliance needed for public piers, marina walkways, and restaurant boardwalks.
