Renovation approaches we recommend
Point Leo - Coastal-grade renovations with quiet confidence
A quiet coastal village known for surfing, rugged beaches, native bushland, and low-key holiday homes.
Why live in Point Leo
Point Leo is unlike anywhere else on the Peninsula. With its gentle surf, protected coastline, and tightly held blocks, it balances prestige with privacy. The homes here are often used seasonally — meaning low-maintenance performance matters. It’s a coastal village with high standards, but a low profile.
Over the years, Trevor has worked with many Melbourne-based clients who retreat to Point Leo for its calm. These relationships, built on clarity and care, mean Timber Tegrity understands the rhythms of part-time occupancy, passive protection, and long-term value.
How we see this suburb
In Point Leo, we focus on renovations that respect the setting and perform over time:
- Reroofing using marine-grade Colorbond with concealed fixings
- Deck replacements with durable subframes and corrosion-proof fasteners
- Exterior cladding refreshes in weather-appropriate, non-reactive materials
- Bathroom upgrades that use light and layout to maximise functionality
- Holiday-home retrofit bundles: envelope sealing + external detailing
This isn’t the place for flash. It’s the place for finish.
Local considerations
Salt air, coastal storms, and wind-blown debris shape the way homes in Point Leo age. We’ve seen firsthand how minor detailing issues can become major headaches. Our approach here is to go above spec: fasteners, flashing, fixings — all matter.
Because many homes are unoccupied for parts of the year, we factor in passive drainage, low-maintenance cladding, and seasonal prep options into every design.
And with overlays in place, we help ensure any scope complies without delay.
Community & lifestyle
Point Leo feels like a pocket out of time — just minutes from the sculpture park and estate, and bordered by surf breaks, bush tracks and family holiday homes. There’s no hustle, just homes with space and soul.
Whether it’s a second property or a sea change, those who live here tend to stay. That’s where we come in — to help protect and improve what already belongs.

Can I renovate a holiday home remotely?

Is timber decking still a good idea here?
Yes — with the right subframe, timber choice and maintenance strategy. We also offer composite options.

Absolutely. We often package works to make the most of site access and staging.
