Two identical-looking sets can be very different jobs. This is the order we work through on site, and what changes the price.
Thick, tight-grained teak takes restoration repeatedly. Thin, sappy stock has far less material to give.
A failed film finish adds a stripping stage before anything else can start, and that is real time.
Slat undersides and inner rails tell the truth about how a piece has been stored and maintained.
Corroded fasteners are replaced during restoration; leaving them guarantees fresh staining within a season.
Masking a glass-railed terrace above a pool takes longer than a lawn, and that is quoted honestly.
Restoration is the same craft across items; access and handling are what change.
Tabletops take the most abuse from sun, spills and heat, and usually need the deepest sanding.
Slatted construction with many edges. Slow to prepare properly, and where shortcuts show first.
Fixed pieces restored in place with surrounding stone, glass and planting fully masked.
Large horizontal area with traffic and drag marks. Prep and dust control are most of the job.
Refinished on site where possible; a failing exterior door finish is the first thing visitors notice.
A finish is a sacrificial layer. Its job is to be degraded by UV and water instead of the wood, which means a finish that shows wear is working exactly as intended.
What it cannot do is stop movement. Teak expands and contracts with humidity regardless of what is on it, so no product prevents seasonal checking — the best ones simply slow the moisture exchange enough to reduce it.
It also cannot fix mechanical problems. Loose joints, corroded fixings and split slats need bench work; coating over them buys one comfortable season and costs more later.
Teak is a slow-growing tropical hardwood, and the furniture built from it decades ago used timber that is simply no longer available at that grade. Restoring it keeps that material in service.
There is a practical dimension too: older pieces were built with mortice-and-tenon joinery and thicker sections, which is exactly why they survive to be restored at all.
We are frequently asked to restore Fountain Valley sets that were about to be replaced, and in most of those cases the existing furniture outperforms what the replacement budget would have bought.

A dining set near Mile Square Park or a poolside bench in Green Valley can weather unevenly: exposed arms lose color while shaded slats collect dirt. We assess the whole piece, clean away surface buildup and sand where needed before discussing an oil or sealer suited to its exposure.
Fountain Valley projects often combine tables, chairs and loungers with different levels of wear. A coordinated finish helps bring the collection together without hiding the natural grain. Tell us how you use the patio and which pieces need attention so we can plan the work around your property.

Ipe is dense enough to survive almost anything. Keeping it brown rather than silver is the part that takes a routine.
