Marine flooring
in Tacoma.
John Genis has cleaned hundreds of boats as the owner of Destination Detailing and has seen every decking option out there. He brought Deck Armor to the Pacific Northwest for the durability, the look, and how easily it cleans up. Same product, same warranty, run by a local who knows these waters.
Tacoma. Same floor, local hands.
Puget Sound is cold, wet and busy, and a deck that goes slick in the rain is a deck nobody trusts. Deck Armor is a rubber-based floor troweled on by hand as one bonded surface. It grips wet, dry or submerged, it takes the edge off a long day standing, and it does not curl at the edges the way a stuck-on mat does.
Pierce, Thurston and King counties
John and Nadira Genis cover Pierce, Thurston and King. John owned Destination Detailing and has cleaned hundreds of boats, which turns out to be a useful background for a floor installer: he has seen every decking product on this water and what each one looks like after five seasons of rain. Salmon boats, cruisers and center consoles all come off the Sound wet, and the floor should be the part you never have to think about. The three counties cover most of the south Sound, from Olympia up past Tacoma toward Seattle. Grip matters more on this water than it does in Florida, and so does a surface that will not hold water in a seam through a long grey winter. Boats launch out of Gig Harbor, Steilacoom, Point Defiance and Olympia across those three counties.

The water John and Nadira work
Puget Sound is cold, wet and busy, and it rains on it most of the year. Commencement Bay and Point Defiance are the home water, with the Narrows, Gig Harbor and Carr Inlet just across, Case Inlet and Budd Inlet down toward Olympia, and Elliott Bay north into King County. Boats here are working most weekends in weather that would keep a Florida boat on the trailer, and the deck problem is the opposite of Florida's: not heat, but a surface that goes slick the moment it is wet and stays wet for months. Salmon and crab gear get dragged across it, and so do boots rather than bare feet. Aluminum and fiberglass center consoles, cuddies and cruisers are most of the work, plus pontoons on the lakes.
