Pontoons detailing in Scenic Oaks.
Aluminum tube restoration, vinyl furniture revival, and bimini canvas reproof for family pontoons and luxury tritoons.
Scenic Oaks owners with pontoons typically work out of Canyon Lake (20 minutes east of Boerne). Slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina, Mountain Springs Resort, Cranes Mill Marina. Trailer launches at Cranes Mill Park ramp and Comal Park ramp. Hard mineral water from Comal Springs feed leaves spots if rinses aren't quick.
Service specs · Scenic Oaks
Built for Scenic Oaks owners.
Scenic Oaks lots are big enough to store an RV at the property and big enough for a private hangar on some of them. We work Scenic Oaks driveways and storage barns regularly, and we coordinate with Boerne Stage owners who keep their plane there but the boat and RV at home.
Owner profile. Scenic Oaks features multi-acre lots in the Boerne area. Owners typically run full RV fleets — Class A motorhomes, 5th wheels, toy haulers for ATV trips — plus boats and the occasional home-hangared aircraft on private strips.
Pontoons live the slow life. They sit in slips Monday through Friday, get loaded with families and coolers on Saturday, and bake quietly in the sun all summer. The problems are different from a sportboat: the aluminum tubes corrode along the waterline, the vinyl furniture absorbs sunscreen and spilled margaritas, the bimini canvas turns black with mildew, and the fence-rail panels lose their wrap. A real pontoon detail is half boat work and half outdoor-furniture restoration — and the family that owns it just wants the kids to stop sticking to the seat cushions.

Pontoons protocol — Scenic Oaks edition.
Tube inspection — we walk the boat and rate the oxidation level on the tubes before quoting; severe pitting requires a separate restoration pass.
Pressure-rinse the hull, deck, fence panels, and underside to flush loose dirt before any chemistry hits the aluminum.
Tube wash with a properly diluted aluminum brightener — never undiluted, never alkaline. Light foaming, short dwell, immediate rinse.
Aluminum tube polish with a tube-specific compound and a dual-action polisher to restore the satin shine.
Fence-panel and helm-wrap clean — gentle wash with vinyl wrap cleaner, no harsh degreasers that lift the wrap edges.
Vinyl furniture: marine cleaner, sunscreen-stain pass, UV conditioner. Heavy-stained seats get a second cycle.
Bimini canvas brush-clean with mildew-specific cleaner, rinse, dry; reproofing spray applied if requested.
Carpet/non-skid sun-deck scrub with appropriate brush stiffness; algae rings on the rear deck spot-treated.
Helm electronics, stereo screens, gauges wiped with screen-safe microfiber. Trailer (if present) gets a wash and tire dressing.
What's included.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Canyon Lake (20 minutes east of Boerne from Scenic Oaks) is one of our core service areas for pontoons. We work slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina and Mountain Springs Resort and ramp-side jobs at Cranes Mill Park ramp. We bring our own water and power.
Algae waterline rings come off with a properly diluted aluminum brightener, short dwell, and immediate rinse. We never let the chemistry sit on the tube. Heavy rings may need two passes plus a polish to restore the satin finish.
Yes — after we clean off the mildew, we can apply 303 Fabric Guard or Star Brite Waterproofing depending on the fabric (Sunbrella vs vinyl). It restores water beading and slows future mildew. Add-on service, typically $80-150 depending on canopy size.
Only if it's misused. Aluminum brighteners are acid-based and have to be diluted correctly, kept off the tube for short dwell, and rinsed immediately. Done right, they restore the satin without harming the metal. We've trained on this for years.
Yes. Canyon Lake (Cranes Mill, Cypress Bend, Mountain Springs), Lake LBJ (Horseshoe Bay, Highland Lakes), Lake Travis, Medina Lake, and Boerne Lake. Slip or driveway, we'll come.
Most of it. We use a vinyl brightener that pulls the oil-based pigment out of the topcoat. Heavy set-in stains may need multiple passes — but we've never met a pontoon seat we couldn't make a real improvement on.
A standard tube wash, polish, vinyl, and bimini on a 22-24 ft Bennington starts at $450. A heavy-oxidation restore on a 26-foot QX with neglected tubes runs $550-650. We quote after the tube inspection.
Park it. We'll handle it.
Same care, every job. We come to your Scenic Oaks driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
