At the Lake of the Ozarks, life happens on decks and docks. And with year-round exposure to sun, water, foot traffic, pets and weather, these surfaces take a beating. It just takes a year or two until deck and dock boards are faded, splintered and in need of repair.
For many property owners, the typical solution has been a frustrating cycle of repainting, staining, or making costly upgrades. But according to Mike and Cassie Dunn, owners of EverDeck Coatings at the Lake, there’s another option that can extend the life of existing surfaces while reducing constant maintenance, at a fraction of the cost of replacing.

"Most people think their only choices are to keep re-coating every two years or spend a fortune replacing everything," Dunn said. "What attracted me to this product was that it offers a way to protect what you already have so you can simply enjoy your Lake house."
Dunn discovered this superior coating system several years ago when he was seeking a solution for his own dock on the 45 Mile Marker. Three years later, he says the results continue to impress. "My dogs run up and down that dock every day," Dunn said. "With the UV protection, it has definitely helped to prevent fading, and it still looks great." Dunn loved the product so much, he decided to introduce it to others at the Lake who needed to refresh their decks and docks but didn’t want to get caught in the endless maintenance cycle.
The coating process is designed to create a durable protective barrier over existing wood and concrete surfaces. A specially formulated coating is combined with an environmentally friendly proprietary resin and applied over a prepared surface using a multi-step process.
For families, an optional slip-resistant aggregate can also be added to improve traction. "It’s really great for kids who run on the deck to keep from slipping," Dunn commented. EverDeck Coatings has eight popular colors available but can also create custom colors to better match a Lake home.
While the product is designed to be DIY-friendly, Dunn and his team also offer professional installation throughout the Lake area. Homeowners can purchase the materials themselves, have EverDeck calculate exactly how much product is needed, or hire the company's local installation crew to handle the entire project.
When installed by EverDeck's professional crew, the coating system is backed by a 10-year warranty, giving Lake homeowners a long-term solution for protecting one of their property's most used outdoor spaces.
"We had one customer who bought the product intending to do it himself," Dunn said. "Life got busy, so he gave us a call and we came out and installed it for him."
For homeowners looking to refresh aging decks and docks, the biggest benefit may be what they no longer have to do. Instead of watching the deck or dock slowly fade and wear down, Lake customers can protect it while extending its life with EverDeck’s coating system. "Don't replace it if you don't need to,” Dunn said. “Just coat it once and stop worrying about having to constantly redo it.”
