Renovation approaches we recommend
Crib Point - functional renovations and smart coastal upgrades
Solutions that that stand up to salt, wind and wear
Why Crib Point
Crib Point has long been a quieter pocket on the peninsula — with naval roots, industrial proximity and a slower pace that appeals to those seeking space, quiet and value. Unlike tightly zoned townships, Crib Point offers generous lots, modest homes, and real opportunity for upgrades that matter.
There’s plenty of stock here that’s ripe for renovation — from original 50s–70s homes to more recent builds needing better envelope performance. And being so close to the bay, corrosion, moisture ingress and poor detailing take their toll.
For Trevor, that means real opportunity: upgrading coastal homes with practical scopes like re-roofs, deck replacements, bathroom rebuilds and full envelope packages that last.
Popular Project Ideas
Kitchen & Bathroom Upgrades
Compact spaces with room to improve. We focus on functional overhauls — improving water handling, layout flow, and long-term materials — not just re-skinning with surface finishes.
Re-roofing & Fascia Remediation
Many roofs in Crib Point suffer from age and coastal conditions. We install marine-grade metal profiles, remediate flashings and replace compromised fascia and box gutters.
Deck Repairs & Structural Fixes
We replace decks that have lost their structure — upgrading subframes, selecting appropriate timbers or composites, and reworking balustrades or stairs to suit the site.
Envelope + Drainage Bundles
Water issues are common here. We bundle eave rehab, cladding repair and proper stormwater flow into a single service — for better longevity, health and comfort.
Modest Additions or Internal Layout Tweaks
We also offer layout reworks and selective additions — extending living zones, connecting indoor-outdoor spaces or separating multi-use rooms — without over-building.
Local considerations
- Moisture & salt: Proximity to the coast brings corrosion and premature material fatigue
- Older homes: Many properties are 40–60 years old, with ageing bathrooms and rooflines
- Open zoning: Easy access, larger lots and fewer design restrictions allow practical upgrades
- Mixed demographics: Value-conscious owners, retirees, young trades — not trophy-home territory
- Maintenance often deferred: Many homes will have accumulated envelope or drainage issues
Note: While HMAS Cerberus sits nearby, most properties there are defence-controlled and not privately serviced. Our work is focused within Crib Point and its surrounding private properties.
Community & lifestyle
- Close to Hanns Inlet and Woolleys Beach Reserve
- Quiet, wide streets with a mix of owner-occupiers and retirees
- Good proximity to Hastings and Bittern for amenities and trades
- Public transport options to Hastings and beyond
- Crib Point Recreation Reserve and small community hubs provide activity year-round

FAQs
-
Do you work on older fibro or timber homes?
Yes — many of our projects involve envelope rehab and controlled remediation on older frames. -
What if my deck is partly failed but not totally rotten?
We can often stage the repair — salvaging subframes, reworking drainage and recladding as needed. -
Is marine-grade roofing necessary this far inland?
Yes — Crib Point’s exposure still accelerates corrosion. It’s worth doing once, properly. -
Can I upgrade just one bathroom or kitchen at a time?
Absolutely — we tailor scopes to match need and timing. -
Do you help with drainage or subfloor moisture?
Yes — stormwater upgrades and envelope health are part of our bundled offering. -
Is there a warranty or follow-up plan?
Yes — we offer clear scope notes, product warranties and optional checkups after 12–18 months. -
Can you help redesign layouts for older homes?
Yes — we often rework compact rooms or dead corners into usable spaces. -
Do you offer roofing or cladding in parts or only as full replacements?
We can stage these — including partial reroofing or targeted flashing and cladding repair. -
How long do these upgrades take?
Typical scopes run 3–8 weeks depending on weather, access and staging. -
Is your team based locally?
Yes — we’re peninsula-based and know the trades, climate and challenges well.
Reliable work, coastal-aware
Crib Point isn’t about overbuilds or flash statements — it’s about fixing what matters, building in resilience, and delivering work that performs.
