Services
Topside Painting
Specializing in topside and deck painting with over 15 years of direct experience. We use certified marine coatings like Awlgrip and Imron to deliver durable, low-maintenance finishes. Our process ensures vibrant, long-lasting results while reducing upkeep compared to gelcoat.
Gelcoat Repair
Restore your boat's gelcoat to showroom condition through wet-sanding, compounding, and polishing. We repair scratches, stress cracks, and gouges with color-matching expertise, preventing water intrusion and structural damage while preserving aesthetics.
Fiberglass Repair
Address structural and cosmetic fiberglass damage from minor screw holes to major collision impacts. Our team uses advanced techniques to rebuild laminate integrity, ensuring repairs are both invisible and structurally sound for long-term durability.
Bottom Painting
Professional bottom painting services to protect against marine growth and osmotic blistering. We apply barrier coats and ablative paints tailored to your boat's usage, ensuring optimal protection and ease of maintenance for vessels up to 54 feet.
Full Restorations
Comprehensive restoration of aging or damaged vessels, including Boston Whalers, Makos, and Grand Banks trawlers. Our process combines structural repairs, gelcoat refinishing, and painting to revive your boat's performance and appearance to like-new condition.
