About renovating in Main Beach
Main Beach sits between the Broadwater and the surf, and the expectations here are high. Owners want quiet, well-detailed work that suits a premium address, delivered without disrupting neighbours in tightly managed buildings. Beachfront and Broadwater-facing apartments dominate, alongside older low-rise blocks along Tedder Avenue and a handful of original beach houses. Full apartment refurbishments, stone and joinery upgrades and waterproofing-critical bathrooms make up most of our work. Salt-laden air on the exposed eastern face means fixings, hardware, window furniture and balcony detailing all need to be specified for a marine environment. We also plan deliveries around Tedder Avenue's restricted parking and loading dock availability. We take on projects of every size in Main Beach - from replacing a kitchen or laying new flooring through to full home renovations and insurance repairs. Every project is run by one licensed team, quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, and delivered with clear communication and a tidy site.
