A village beach suburb with original stock

Tugun has held onto its low-key character better than most of the southern beaches. Original cottages, 1970s low-sets and newer duplexes sit within a few streets of the sand along Golden Four Drive.

The original homes here were built simply and cheaply, and decades of salt air have not been kind to them. We start these projects by checking framing, subfloors and external timber, because pouring money into cabinetry above a tired structure is money spent twice.

What a Tugun renovation involves

Structure before surfaces

We inspect bearers, stumps, wall framing and external timbers first and put any repairs into the quote up front. That way there are no mid-job variations once the linings come off.

Opening the cottage to the yard

Most of these homes turn their back on their best asset. Widening openings to the rear, adding sliding or bifold doors and building a covered deck reorients the whole house towards outdoor living.

Keeping the character while modernising

VJ linings, timber floors and simple detailing are worth keeping. We restore what is salvageable and match new work to it rather than sheeting over everything in flat plasterboard.

Duplex and investment upgrades

For the newer duplex stock near the beach, quick-turn packages of flooring, joinery, painting and outdoor areas lift rental returns without long vacancies.
