Marine Restoration, Showcase Shine.
Multi-stage hull polishing, gelcoat oxidation removal, ceramic protective coatings, and full vessel detailing, delivered mobile at private docks and marinas across Lake Lanier, Lake Allatoona, and Lake Oconee.
On-Water Craftsmanship for Georgia's Premier Lakes
The JDG Home Services Marine Division brings the same licensed, insured, OSHA-certified precision we're known for on land, directly to your dock. We restore and protect fiberglass, gelcoat, and metal surfaces on boats, pontoons, and personal watercraft across North and Middle Georgia's three largest recreational lakes.
Gelcoat Oxidation & the Georgia Sun
Every season on the water, UV rays break down the top layer of your gelcoat. The gloss fades first, then the surface turns chalky and dull, and eventually the original color is barely visible. That's oxidation — and Georgia's intense sun accelerates it faster than almost anywhere else.
Hard-water staining at the waterline and algae growth compound the damage. The good news: oxidation is correctable. A proper multi-stage cut-and-buff removes the faded layer and brings back the depth, color, and shine your hull had when it was new — and a ceramic coating keeps it that way.
The Multi-Stage Hull Restoration
Every hull goes through the same proven sequence — no shortcuts, no single-step "miracle" products.
Dockside Assessment
We meet you at the dock, inspect the hull and gelcoat condition, and identify the oxidation level, staining, and any existing coatings before quoting.
Wash & Decontaminate
A full hull wash removes algae, hard-water scale, and surface grime so we're working on a clean base.
Compound — Cut the Oxidation
A heavy-cut compound on a wool pad removes the chalky, oxidized gelcoat layer and restores the original color. We work section by section to keep the compound from drying in the Georgia heat.
Polish — Refine the Finish
A fine-cut polish on a foam pad refines the surface, removes compounding haze, and brings back depth and gloss.
Ceramic Coat — Lock It In
A marine-grade ceramic coating is applied to lock in the shine and add UV, hard-water, and waterline-stain resistance for the season ahead.
Final Reveal
We walk the results with you at the dock — a deep, glossy finish with real depth, ready for the water.
