Beach houses, renovated cottages and entertainer’s decks - Coolangatta living is built around timber. We sand, polish, stain and restore it to a finish that suits the coast.
Coolangatta is classic southern-end Gold Coast: original beach cottages, big renovations and homes built for indoor-outdoor living. Spotted gum and blackbutt are everywhere, and so are timber decks that cop the salt and sun.
The light down here is strong, so finish choice matters - we’ll steer you toward a satin or matte that reads rich without throwing glare. Decks get stripped and re-oiled to handle the beachside weather.

We’re in and around these suburbs every week:
The questions we get asked most around here - answered straight.
We price by the square metre, and the rate depends on your timber, the state of the boards and the finish you choose - a heavily-coated old floor is more work than a light re-coat. Around Coolangatta we see a lot of spotted gum, blackbutt and hardwood decking timber, and we’ll measure yours and give you a firm, no-obligation price before we start.
Not the way we do it. Our sanders run dust extraction that captures the vast majority of dust right at the cutter, so there are no dust clouds through the house. We mask off doorways and leave the site clean - it’s the number-one reason Coolangatta locals call us back.
Usually, yes. Cupped, scratched, gappy or previously-coated floors are our bread and butter - most Coolangatta jobs are living-area sand & polish, beach-cottage restorations and deck re-oils. Where a board really is beyond help we’ll replace just that one and blend it in, rather than re-laying the lot.
It comes down to the look and the traffic. Satin is the easy all-rounder - it hides marks and feels natural underfoot; gloss is rich and wipes clean; limewash and natural oils give that pale, coastal feel. We’ll match the right coating to your timber and how you live.
Most Coolangatta homes take two to four days, depending on the area, the number of coats and drying time between them. You’ll get a clear schedule with your quote, including when it’s safe to walk on the floor and move the furniture back.
