    Later this year we need to redo the teak deck and aft stairs on the 116 Lazzara i run. It’s 18 years old, getting very thin in spots to the point it s starting to split.

    Any recommendation for an installer in the FTL Miami area?

    Teakdecking Systems in Sarasota. They work everywhere.

    I just used Decksters for almost the whole boat. DM me and I can share pricing. They are all months out. Ours was suppose to be 4 weeks install. Turned out to be more like 10 weeks. Life in SoFlo.

    Decksters totally ruined our decks during repair and sanding. They hire anybody they can get to show up and half the time they didn't show up. you wouldn't believe the pictures. In addition, they did $5000 damage to a brand new paint job during the process. I will not use anybody other than Teak decking systems who eventually replaced the entire deck due in part to Decksters screw ups.

    TDS, why go anywhere else?
    They are in the process of doing my boat now.

    Decksters- Nothing good to say.

    Thanks. Contacting TDS. I see they’re in Sarasota so they probably did the teak for lazzara too
