V.E.S. Skateboard-Pro Refurbishing Services

Here you will see some of but not all the services V.E.S. can provide, we just do too many thing to list them all. If you need something done or have an idea and you don't see it here - just ask! We do custom, custom, custom here and we are not afraid to try something new. These skills have been cultivated by me for many years by trial and error and year's of research and testing. I'm sure other people are doing great things to old boards but nobody is doing it all like this to save skateboards history for the future skateboard collectors of the world!

You can research and compare.

Pricing depends on work done and product condition.


  

The V.E.S. seal and refurbish explained

Vintage Skateboards

New Factory Reproductions

New Factory Reproductions

When I work on a vintage skateboard, I have to evaluate the condition of the boards wood and paint, this allows me to see how to proceed with the refurbish and in the right order. Once thats done, I work on making the graphics stable so I can fix the structure of the wood under the graphics and get it ready to do any customizing to the board or graphics my customer might want. The V.E.S. process is not like anything on the market today or work done by skateboard club members. This is a whole new approach to saving vintage boards and vintage art graphics. We rejuvenate the wood and graphics at the same time while locking in the boards vintaged aged colors that so many like. This approach allows you to keep the vintage look, the boards history and the value far into the future without it disintegrating any further. We turn it into a board that can be handled, sold , traded or past down to other collectors for years to come without the fear of your boards time running out. The seal is made to be maintainable over the wood allowing you too clean easily for many years to come. No more looking at all the dust on your vintage board collecting and damaging your valuable boards aged paint.

Working on new boards is a little easier because the graphics are new. I can customize the graphics in color and then seal them up with the V.E.S. seal to lock in the work done. It can also hide the factory blemishes that are on most boards, so it can display much better. The seal also protects the thin stock graphics from simple damage over time giving you a better board and value for collectors down the road. The V.E.S. seal makes it easy to clean without the worry of  your graphics rubbing away. Since I control the process from start to finish, almost anything in between can be done. For example: I can pick out parts of your graphics to be shinier than the rest and still give you a flat look on the boards paint. I can also make  your boards graphics more fluorescent. The bottom line is that I can make your board stand out from the rest and make your graphics last. It's my opinion that the thin graphics and paint used on todays boards will not last as long as the vintage boards from the past, and this devaluating factor will only hurt the future skateboard collectors of the world. 

V.E.S. is the only company acknowledging and trying to fix this problem 

for the average skateboard collector.

Services: Boards

Sealing And Finishes

V.E.S. 7 Ply Separation Long term Fix

Sealing And Finishes

 Different finishes available. From a satin sheen to a glossy shine or flat. Also different layers - 1 or more depending on the boards condition and what the customer is looking for. The benefits of this are that the colors come back and the boards graphics have depth to them again. It will also help stained boards from fading. This is not just a fast paint job on a skateboard, it's a controlled and timed process that will make your graphics last and not crack over time like most clear paints will do as they age. It's also not a hard varnish that will crack if your board is skated in the future. And when the board has gone through the V.E.S seal process it gets protected with a final barrier product to help against what happens next to the board going into the future. We have also built into the process the ability to go back in and work on your board in the future if it gets damaged or scratched.

After (right) with satin sheen look.

This board was finished and donated to raise money for the Meredith, Nh skate park.

Razor Tail Repair

V.E.S. 7 Ply Separation Long term Fix

Sealing And Finishes

The V.E.S. razor tail fix can be customized in looks or function too many different boards. We also use materials to mimic the board natural stock feel if skated now or in the future.

Chips, Dings, Stress And Graphic Cracks

Many older boards have this problem and as time goes on, it gets worse. I have tried many products on the market to fix and seal this problem and found, like anything, it has to do with preparation of the wood and time. I use a high quality product and technique that I feel  works way better than others. And when done, the sides are sealed and concave and pop are put back into the board. In most cases, any warping is gone.

AND IT WILL LAST!!

Chips, Dings, Stress And Graphic Cracks

Chips, Dings, Stress And Graphic Cracks

Chips, Dings, Stress And Graphic Cracks

These are the most common  problems that  older boards have whether used, hung for display, or put into storage a long time ago. These problems only get worse and you will end up losing your graphics, its history, and the board's value in the future if nothing is done. Some of the boards problems out there are also speeding up do to people pulling them apart to sell in pieces or just found in an-ESTATE FIND - were it has been for 40 years untouched. If you have boards like this in your collection the clock for damage has been sped up. I have developed a process to help address these many different problems, as I have worked on all kind of boards that have lived in different kinds of environmental conditions all over the world.

Seal/lock in Stickers

Chips, Dings, Stress And Graphic Cracks

Some boards may be beyond repair!

Both old and new stickers can be sealed into your board through the V.E.S. process. This can give your board a collectable value for the future as a one of a kind.

Sealing Bonite boards and graphics

After: The V.E.S. Process

This is a Vintage Powell Peralta Bonite 80's skateboard with custom V.E.S. razor tail fix, cleaned and prepped for the V.E.S.  seal process. The razor tail fix was custom made to mimic the boards structure , for a more stock feel if skated. Most boards made in the 80's and early 90's graphics start to lose their integrity over the years and will only get worse in the future. Why wait till the graphics are gone to do anything!!


After: The V.E.S. Process

Brand New Board

After:The Gold Standard V.E.S. Process

After:The Gold Standard V.E.S. Process

This board is brand new but as we all know the graphics on today's boards rub off, scratch very easily, and have shrink-wrap burn. So what do you do if you're collecting in today's market? What will be the future value of these boards when these companies pump out fast product to be skated but not to be collected long term? 



After:The Gold Standard V.E.S. Process

After:The Gold Standard V.E.S. Process

After:The Gold Standard V.E.S. Process

V.E.S. has started the NEW GOLD STANDARD for today's collectors. This board has been sealed and can be put back into shrink-wrap with the original sticker placement to keep it as close to stock as possible. This process makes your board more resilient to abuse going into the future. It can hide or blend your board's imperfections such as rubs, scratches, shrink-burn (a lot of people have and don't know it if its still in it's original shrink-wrap) and will add long term value to any collection!!!


This board was custom built and donated to the Meredith, NH skatepark pavilion fund raiser.

Someone has this board- I wonder if they are skating it?

Vintage Artwork on Grip Tape Saved

Before

As a 80's skateboarder myself, sometimes we would draw, write words and sayings on our boards to reflect on our life or experiences at that time. Some were great- some not so. But I see this as part of skateboarding history - THE LOCAL KID- not just the pro. This is also the history that  should be saved!!

This history can be saved by V.E.S. We will pull the grip tape off, clean it up to show the graphics under years of grime, and then  fill in what can't be seen and re-color what is there .Then we will seal it in through the V.E.S. process and put new adhesive on the back if you want it reapplied to the board. There are many boards made- but boards with this make them

About V.E.S. Color Wax

Board Truck Knockouts Saved!!

Board Truck Knockouts Saved!!

the

I use a high quality hard wax that will not melt if left in the sun or near heat. A lot of people will use putty, wood filler and other things but I like that the hard wax I use will not separate from the board and is more flexible over time which will keep out dirt, debris, and water that can hurt a board over time in storage. It also can be removed easily without hurting the board.

Board Truck Knockouts Saved!!

Am I the only one that can see the potential benefits of keeping these knock outs on the graphics? This board was filled from the back side with V.E.S. wax to keep these in place for long term storage. And if it went through the GOLD STANDARD V.E.S. PROCESS

Just think how it would display!!

V.E.S. Sealed in signatures

A big part of skateboard collecting are the signatures from the pro skaters. And as we all know, depending on what was used or how long ago it was signed, these get lost to fading, rubs, water- or worse- a good cleaning. You can try to keep them on, but time and the change of hands will be the problem!!

Once it goes through the V.E.S. process, your board and its history and value will be saved long into the future. And after being sealed it still can be singed.

About the V.E.S. Process

Additional Information

When was the last time you could touch the graphics on your board without them flaking or chipping off? And why would you hand down an old beat up looking board to your kids and would they want it? If you have a great collection of boards or one with history, you should be proud to own it - not scared to show or touch it. Let V.E.S. help save your board's history and value for the future! I take my time with your board  to achieve your custom look and if it gets sealed by V.E.S. it will leave you with a finish that will last. Of course, nothing is impenetrable so if it takes a beating it may get scratched up but going through the V.E.S. process will give your collection a fighting chance long into the future!  The V.E.S. Seal process can make the board 90% + water resistant and it will also help with color fading going into the future. 


I also allow in my process to work on your board over and over again if you choose to skate it. 

This is not just a cover up process or a quick flip like others do. I am preserving what is there for the long term value and will work with you to achieve your custom board!


Old boards can take 4-6+ months to complete while newer boards can be done in an average of 1-3 months.  I DON'T use Bondo- (it won't last and you can't skate it), Wood Putty- (it just cracks over time) or fiberglass- (too hard and kills the original flex of a wood board). I have never used these on  wood boards so you get a high quality product through my process that will last and look good long into the future. If you want your boards shape refurbished by me then sent to someone else for graphics, just ask. Send me some pics of what you have and are looking to have done and I can give you some options of what I can do. 


I can even clean and seal Bonite decks. And as anyone with these boards know the Bonite is like paper and you can loose your graphics much faster. I found a way to clean this kind of board without using any chemicals and once V.E.S. sealed it will last and can be skated- if you dare!!!


When you send a board to me or if you buy one of mine, I'll update you with detailed pictures along the way to track the progress. I can also add your boards refurbish process to my website if you want your friends or the world to see (optional). I will ask you questions along the way to get it right. Every board is a work in progress endeavor and I've gotten pretty good over the years at addressing pop up problems. I also have a big collection of vintage skateboard parts so I can mix and match the colors, trucks, wheels and plastics in real time in front of you to get that perfect look. I also include before photos as well for you to keep for comparison and authenticity.  


For some, this is a hobby to collect or refurbish. Let me help you with the tools and ways to refurbish a board right. From what I see and hear a lot of people are doing this wrong. I can't save them all by myself but if there is a process to make our boards last into the future new/old more will be saved across the spectrum. This is what V.E.S. offers to collectors, hobbyist, museums and just your average skateboard enthusiast.


Black light decks look AMAZING with my process giving back some of its color's and depth for a great look that will last. Let us help you with that one of a kind skateboard display and change the game on how history looks!!!


Why hang a falling apart collection on your wall when I can transform it into art! If your board is snapped in half and can't be skated again, let me put it through the V.E.S. process to become a lasting wall hanger that will hold its value $$$ much longer into the future!!!


Each step of the V.E.S. process is done by me by hand, allowing for customization every step of the way and providing top quality workmanship. I only do so many boards a year so my work isn't rushed or cheapened. This is my 40+ hour a week job it's not just a hobby. If I'm not working on your board I am researching, inventing or trying to beat my former processes.

 

Also available - innovative custom shrink- wrap and storage for short or long term protection of your board and wheels or complete deck,  JUST ASK!!


We are also working on a new way to display your boards that will change the game thats been played for way too long the same way!!!


New custom hanging board bags in the works!! For those with big collections with no room!!

No more stacking your boards and hoping for the best or spending all day looking for a board !!! coming soon....


$$$$$ As far as pricing goes, that all depends on what you're looking for or what you want to have to done. But if you call or send me pictures of what you have and what you're looking to have done, I will be able to zone in on price. There are just too many variables to lock down a set price for this kind of custom service.


We are a new company and our website will be constantly improved on as we grow, please check back for new products and services. And if you made it this far on my website thanks for looking.
