Client: Suzie & Marc Fox
Location: Carlsbad, California 92008
Project Type: Deck Restoration, Outdoor Wood Restoration
Products Used: TWP Rustic
Project Overview
Suzie and Marc Fox’s home in Carlsbad featured a wide range of outdoor wood structures—teak furniture, fences, benches, gates, and walkways—that had all seen years of sun exposure, weathering, and natural aging. They contacted us for a full-scope restoration to bring warmth, richness, and protection back to their outdoor living areas.
From custom teak seating and dining tables to a beautifully crafted perimeter fence and gate, each surface required a tailored approach to restore its original beauty while maintaining harmony across the entire space.
Our Restoration Process
We began with a comprehensive evaluation of all wood surfaces throughout the property, noting variations in age, exposure, and wear. Once prepped, we performed the following steps:
- Deep Cleaning: Removal of grime, oxidation, and mildew using a professional wood-safe cleaner.
- Brightening: Wood was neutralized and conditioned to restore natural color and prepare for staining.
- Staining with TWP Rustic: We applied TWP Rustic, a rich, warm-toned stain that penetrates deeply, enhances the natural grain, and provides long-lasting UV and moisture protection.
Restoration Highlights
- Fencing & Gate: The transformation of the perimeter fence and custom entry gate was dramatic. Once dull and gray, the wood now radiates deep reddish-brown tones that enrich the tropical landscape and add to the home’s curb appeal.
- Teak Furniture: Poolside loungers, dining tables, benches, and patio daybeds were all restored to a warm golden tone, showcasing the natural beauty of the teak.
- Decking & Walkways: Every step and pathway now feels refreshed, clean, and unified with the surrounding outdoor aesthetic.
The Result
The outdoor space has been completely rejuvenated. The property now reflects the craftsmanship of the woodwork with added durability for years to come. The color consistency achieved across multiple wood types and uses creates a cohesive, elegant look—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the Southern California sun.
This project is a perfect example of how professional wood restoration, using the right products and techniques, can dramatically elevate the beauty and longevity of outdoor living spaces.
