Local context

What we paint in Shelly Beach.

Shelly Beach covers about half a square kilometre between Moffat Head and Caloundra Head, and had 925 residents at the 2021 census. Caloundra's first hotel opened here in 1885. Today 81.7 percent of occupied homes are separate houses, and 40.9 percent have four or more bedrooms.

What we watch for

Substrate and exposure notes.

Big houses mean second storeys and high gables, so scaffold is planned and priced on its own line. Walls facing the sea take salt and wind first and get the heavier system. Balustrades and flashings in bare galvanised iron get a metal primer before the topcoat.
