Woodwork, Teak & Joinery in California
2 California shops likely offering woodwork & teak.
Teak decks, varnished brightwork, and interior cabin joinery are what give a yacht its character — and they're also among the most labor-intensive things on the boat to maintain or restore. A good marine joiner can replace teak deck planking, refresh varnished trim, repair damaged cabin sole, and build custom interior fittings to a standard most general carpenters can't match. Wooden-boat work is its own deeper specialty, anchored in regions with historic wooden-boat traditions.

Frequently asked
- How long does a teak deck last?
- A traditional caulked teak deck, properly maintained (light cleaning, occasional re-caulking, no sanding) typically lasts 20–30 years. Sanding teak shortens the life dramatically — every aggressive sanding removes a millimeter of wood that took the tree decades to grow.
- What does teak deck replacement cost?
- Full teak deck replacement on a 40-ft cruising boat typically runs $25,000–$80,000+ in 2026, depending on deck area, complexity, and teak vs. synthetic teak choice. Synthetic teak (Flexiteek, PlasDeck) is roughly half the cost and increasingly common.
