Southern coastal suburbs with direct southerly exposure. Full coastal paint spec on every job — salt-rated products, marine fittings.
Lyall Bay, Houghton Bay and Seatoun catch the south coast head-on. Salt and wind exposure here is more aggressive than the eastern harbour bays — the southerly arrives unmediated off Cook Strait.
Coastal spec is non-negotiable for any exterior in this area. We also recommend marine-grade fittings (stainless brackets, marine-grade hardware) on any steel that's being replaced as part of a paint job. Manufacturer warranties cap at 10 years; our workmanship cover stays at 7 regardless.
