Marine services

Marine restoration built around the condition of the boat.

Faded or chalky gelcoat, oxidation, staining, fiberglass or gelcoat damage, interior wear, and neglected finishes all require different approaches. Seth reviews the boat and the result you want before recommending correction, repair, detailing, or protection.

Gelcoat & fiberglass repair

Gelcoat and fiberglass damage is reviewed individually to determine the repair process, color-matching needs, surface finishing, and final protection. Pricing is custom based on the size, location, and condition of the damaged area.
