Your Boat. Your Projects. Our Help.
From simple cleaning to beautiful brightwork, seasonal preparation, and those small projects you've been putting off, Nashville Boat Works offers practical, hands-on assistance to keep your boat looking good and ready for the water.
Boat Cleaning & Detailing
Keep your boat clean, comfortable, and ready for your next outing.
A clean boat is a cared-for boat. Whether you need a quick wash before a weekend sail or a thorough seasonal deep clean, I'll leave your boat looking its best.
- Exterior washing and deck cleaning
- Cockpit cleaning
- Cabin and interior cleaning
- Mildew and surface cleanup
- Nonskid surface cleaning
- Vinyl and upholstery cleaning
- Seasonal deep cleaning
- Pre-sale and post-purchase cleanup
- Routine cleaning and care
Brightwork, Teak & Varnish
Careful woodwork is one of our specialties.
Good brightwork takes patience, preparation, and respect for the material. I approach every varnish project with the attention it deserves — stripping, sanding, and building up coats the right way.
- Brightwork preparation
- Sanding and surface preparation
- Teak cleaning and restoration
- Varnish application and maintenance coats
- Small wood refinishing projects
- Cosmetic wood restoration
Winterization & Seasonal Preparation
Protect your investment and prepare for seasonal changes.
The transitions between sailing seasons are the most important times to give your boat proper attention. I help owners put their boats away right in the fall and get them ready in the spring.
- Fall cleaning and storage preparation
- Sail removal and storage
- Boat-cover installation and checks
- Dock-line and fender adjustments
- Spring cleaning and recommissioning assistance
- Visual inspections of accessible equipment
- Winterization assistance for appropriate onboard systems
Small Projects & Repairs — À La Carte
Every boat has a project list. We help owners work through it.
Describe almost any small project and I'll give you an honest assessment of whether it falls within my capabilities — and a straight answer if it doesn't.
- Minor hardware replacement
- Small cosmetic repairs
- Storage and organizational improvements
- Simple accessory installation
- Basic deck and cabin projects
- Running-rigging organization and noncritical line replacement
- Other practical boat-care tasks
Routine Boat Care & Check-Ins
For owners who can't always get to their boats.
Scheduled visual check-ins keep you informed about your boat's condition when you can't be there yourself. These are attentive, documented visits — not marine surveys or emergency-response services.
- Scheduled visual boat checks
- Dock-line and fender condition checks
- Cover and accessible hatch checks
- Photographs and condition updates
- Identification of visible maintenance concerns
- Routine cleaning coordination
