Builder-standard finishes are often specified generically, not for coastal exposure, so a new home, display home or project build near the surf can be handed over with exterior coatings that aren't made for the salt it'll face. Specifying coastal-grade exterior systems at build stage, while surfaces are new and accessible, is the cheapest coastal protection a home will ever get. See: [the painting stage of a new build](https://saltcoast.com.au/guides/new-build-painting-stage/). On program, to standard ## How we fit into your build program ### Quote to plan and spec We quote from the plans and specification, so the scope and price are clear and locked into the build budget. ### Coordinate with the program We slot the painting stage into the build sequence and coordinate with your supervisor and the trades around us, so we're ready when the build is and don't become the hold-up. ### Prepare and paint to standard Surfaces prepared and painted to the required standard for handover, interior and exterior, with coastal-grade systems where the location calls for it. ### Finish for handover Completed on schedule to practical-completion standard, so the build can hand over without the paint being the thing that's not ready. What you can expect ## How we work with you ### Honest advice, not an upsell. We tell you what your home actually needs, and what it doesn't. If something can wait, we'll say so. We'd rather build a long relationship than win one oversized job. ### We treat the cause, not just the surface. Most coastal problems come back because they were patched, not fixed. We work out what's actually driving the damage (salt, moisture, corrosion) and deal with that, so the repair lasts. ### A proper look before any quote. We assess your property in person before we put a number on anything. It's free, there's no obligation, and it's the only honest way to quote coastal work, because every home is exposed differently. ### The coast is all we do. We're not generalists who also do beach houses. Coastal salt, corrosion and weather are our entire focus, which is why we catch the things others miss. Why it matters ## Built for the coast. Anyone can paint a wall or wash a house. The coast is different: salt gets into render, corrodes metal from the inside, and breaks down coatings from underneath, and it never stops. Treating coastal problems like inland ones is why so much work fails early. Salt Coast exists for exactly this. We diagnose before we treat, use methods and materials suited to coastal exposure, and build ongoing maintenance relationships rather than one-off jobs. That's how a coastal home stays sound instead of lurching from one repair to the next. [Maintenance Plans Keep your home ahead of the coast, not chasing it. Without a plan You wait for paint to peel, render to bubble, metal to rust, then react to damage that's been spreading for months. On a plan We catch it before it shows, while every fix is still small, cheap and quick, and you never lift a finger to manage it.

We slot the painting stage into your build sequence, coordinate with your supervisor and surrounding trades, and complete to practical-completion standard on schedule, so the paint isn't what holds up handover. Reliability against the program is the priority. **Do you quote from plans and specifications?** Yes. We quote from the plans and spec so the scope and price are clear and can be locked into the build budget up front, rather than estimated loosely and reconciled later. That gives the builder or owner a firm number to plan around. **Do you work with builders as a trade partner?** Yes, we work with builders and project managers as a painting trade partner on new residential and small commercial builds, as well as with owner-builders and new-home owners directly. For builders, the value is a reliable partner who delivers to standard and timeline without becoming the hold-up. [Why builders outsource painting, and what it means for your build](https://saltcoast.com.au/guides/builders-outsource-painting/) **Should a new coastal home get special exterior coatings?** It's worth specifying. A new coastal home is the cheapest opportunity to get coastal-grade systems on clean, sound, well-prepared surfaces from day one, before salt damage or coating failure can start. Specifying for the actual exposure at build stage avoids remedial work a few years in from builder-standard finishes that weren't made for the coast. [The painting stage of a new home build: what happens and when](https://saltcoast.com.au/guides/new-build-painting-stage/) **What standard do you paint new builds to?** We prepare and paint to the standard required for handover and practical completion (PCI), interior and exterior, with coastal-grade systems where the location calls for it. The aim is a finish that passes handover without defects or callbacks, because callbacks cost the builder time and reputation. ![Cover of The Coastal Maintenance Guide](https://saltcoast.com.au/assets/guide-cover.webp) Free guide · 6 pages · PDF ### The Coastal Maintenance Guide Six pages on what salt, sun and driven rain actually do to a coastal home, what to look for on your own walls, and roughly how long you have before each one turns into a repair. *(This page carries an interactive enquiry form.
