Dromana - Renovations that add real performance to homes with views, salt and wear

Why this suburb

Dromana draws attention — coastal views, proximity to town, hillside orientation — and over the years, it’s seen waves of build, refresh, and speculative styling. But beneath that, many homes still carry original issues: weather exposure, tired layouts, and weak detailing that doesn’t suit the climate.

The opportunity here isn’t to compete in showy rebuilds but to to quietly improve real homes — with marine-grade exteriors, smarter indoor-outdoor transitions, and layout upgrades that improve life day to day.

With steady turnover, hills that challenge rooflines, and a mixed demographic of professionals, retirees and long-term owners, Dromana is a practical fit for Timber Tegrity’s renovation-first focus.

Kitchen & Bathroom Renovations

We rework tired wet zones with an eye on function, flow and durability. Expect proper waterproofing, better storage, and layouts that feel right for real living — not just resale.

Decks & Outdoor Zones

View-facing decks, side terraces and covered alfresco areas that work with prevailing weather — all using correct fixings, finishes and drainage logic.

Reroofs & Envelope Upgrades

Corrosion-proof profiles, gutter redesign, fascia repairs and eave protection — everything Dromana homes need to fight back against salt air and ageing stock.

Indoor↔Outdoor Rehab Bundles

We often bundle kitchen rebuilds with deck access, sliding door installs, outdoor kitchen pads or screens — so the inside and outside actually work together.

Cladding & Façade Touchups

Subtle but high-value visual refreshes — reworked entry porches, repaired cladding, fascia repainting or window replacement — without gutting the budget.

Local considerations

  • Coastal exposure: Salt air accelerates roof, gutter and paint fatigue
  • Hillside sites: Drainage and deck design must suit slope and weather
  • Mixed stock: From brick veneers to 90s split-levels, with many tired kitchens
  • Noise of competition: Many builders operate here — surface renos are crowded
  • Planning complexity: View corridors, overlays and slope rules need navigation

Community & lifestyle

  • Stunning views from Boundary Rd and Arthurs Seat rises
  • Popular Dromana Pier, foreshore and trail access
  • Family-friendly beach with active caravan and tourist zones
  • Quick access to Red Hill, Safety Beach, Arthurs Seat
  • Dromana Secondary and several early childhood centres

Some ideas for Dromana Projects

  • Full kitchen and deck rebuild with outdoor servery, wind protection and eave shading
  • Reroof and gutter redesign on a slope site with corrosion signs
  • Bathroom gut and rebuild using slip-resistant tiling and natural light tweaks
  • Indoor-outdoor bundle: sliding doors, modest deck, weather shielding
  • Coastal envelope rehab: fascia paint, eave repair, smart downpipe layout

FAQs

  1. Are Dromana’s view homes more complex to work on?
    Sometimes — but we design to preserve views and integrate decks or windows logically.

  2. What’s the right deck material for a salt-exposed slope?
    Typically hardwood with stainless fixings, but we assess site-by-site for drainage and exposure.

  3. Can you upgrade our gutters without re-roofing?
    Yes — if the roof is serviceable, we can install new box or fascia gutters with correct fall and runoff.

  4. Do you work with planning overlays near the ridge or foreshore?
    Yes — we consider view corridors, slope control and stormwater compliance.

  5. Is marine-grade Colorbond necessary here?
    In exposed areas — yes. Standard finishes won’t last as long or look clean over time.

  6. How long do indoor-outdoor bundles take?
    3–6 weeks depending on scope — typically kitchen, deck and slider access handled in sequence.

  7. Do you paint and re-clad?
    We repaint fascias, bargeboards and soffits, and repair/replace cladding where it’s failing.

  8. Do you install outdoor kitchens or screens?
    Yes — often as part of deck zones, with screens or pergolas where appropriate.

  9. Do you offer stageable packages?
    Yes — we can split works into phases: wet area first, exterior second, outdoor third.

  10. Do you work during holiday periods?
    We avoid peak summer disruptions and align schedules with client availability.
