Home and Apartment Renovations in Main Beach
Main Beach sits between the Broadwater and the surf, which raises the bar on both finish quality and material specification. Salt does not forgive shortcuts.

What a Main Beach renovation has to get right
Renovating in Main Beach means solving two problems at once: delivering a finish that suits a premium address, and choosing materials that will survive constant salt exposure. Balcony hardware, window furniture, door fixings, external screens and even cabinetry hinges behave differently a hundred metres from open surf than they do inland.
The second issue is neighbours. Tedder Avenue buildings are tightly managed, parking is restricted and loading docks are shared. We book access in advance, keep the site clean daily and run quiet trades early so the disruption is contained. Owners here tend to remember how a job was managed long after they have stopped noticing the new stone.
Where we do most of our Main Beach work
Full apartment refurbishments with marine specification
We specify 316-grade stainless fixings on anything with external exposure, marine-rated hardware on sliding doors and finishes chosen for salt resistance rather than showroom appearance alone. It costs a little more at purchase and saves a great deal at the five-year mark.
Waterproofing-critical bathrooms and laundries
Wet areas in older Main Beach apartments are the most common source of building disputes, because failed membranes travel to the unit below. We strip back to substrate, install a compliant membrane system, document the installation and hand over the certification with your job file.
Stone, joinery and detail carpentry
Premium apartments show every joint. We template on site rather than off drawings, keep shadow lines consistent, and finish skirtings, architraves and bulkheads to a standard that stands up to close inspection in strong coastal light.
Renovating original Main Beach beach houses
A handful of original low-set beach homes survive on the western streets. They generally need reframing in places, new subfloor ventilation and full rewiring, and they reward a renovation that keeps the relaxed proportions rather than replacing them with something generic.
