Supreme Deck Restoration, Inc. – A Legacy of Excellence in Deck Restoration and Construction
A Journey That Began in 1991
Supreme Deck Restoration, Inc. was founded in 1991 by Craig Niner, who recognized an emerging need in the deck restoration market. Before graduating from Livonia Churchill High School, Craig worked at Mans Lumber in Canton, Michigan, where he gained invaluable experience in the technical aspects of deck refinishing. At the time, only a few companies offered such services, and Craig saw a golden opportunity to fill the gap. His goal was simple: pay for his tuition at Michigan State University and possibly build something sustainable for the future.
In the summer of 1991, Craig rented a pressure washer and set out to restore fewer than 100 decks. Little did he know, this would be the start of a company that would eventually service thousands of decks and become a leader in the industry.
Expanding and Growing: The 1990s
By 1995, Supreme Deck Restoration had grown rapidly, servicing over 250 decks. Craig brought in his childhood friend, Robert Schepis, as an equal partner. Together, they shared a passion for quality work and a determination to avoid the typical corporate path after graduating from Michigan State University in 1996 and not wanting to work for corporate America. They focused on growing the business, expanding services, and cultivating loyal customer relationships. The mission: provide the highest quality service to every customer and ensure that they would return and refer others.
By 2000, Supreme Deck was not only refining and restoring decks, but it was also beginning to build new decks, starting with wood options. Clients were increasingly asking for board replacements, and the company responded by offering custom wood decks to meet those needs.
Embracing Innovation: 2000s to 2010s
As the years passed, Supreme Deck saw continued growth. By 2009, the company expanded into full deck construction and began offering composite decking options, like Trex, in response to customer demand. Clients were increasingly looking for low-maintenance alternatives to traditional wood decks, and Supreme Deck was there to provide expert installation.
In 2010, Supreme Deck made a strategic move to open The Stain Depot, an online store dedicated to selling high-quality deck stains. As the market for oil-based deck stains dwindled, due to the closure of many smaller stores, Supreme Deck saw an opportunity to meet the demand for these hard-to-find products. The Stain Depot quickly became a success, and within a few years, it grew into a multi-million-dollar business.
Today: A Local Leader with National Recognition
Today, Supreme Deck Restoration is the largest deck restoration company in Michigan, servicing over 1,500 decks annually. The company has also expanded into custom deck building through Supreme Deck Building. In 2022, Supreme Deck was honored to be included in the Trex Diamond Club, a prestigious recognition for the top 15 Trex builders in the United States.
The Stain Depot has also become one of the top online retailers for quality deck stains, including brands like Sikkens/Proluxe, Penofin, TWP, Olympic, Messmer’s, and Sashco. With over $10 million in sales, The Stain Depot is a leader in its niche market.
Meanwhile, Supreme Deck Restoration remains the go-to company for wood deck maintenance in the Metro Detroit area, providing expert care and refinishing for homeowners looking to preserve the beauty and longevity of their decks.
