boat gelcoat restoration — wet sanding recovery before and after

Marine Preservation

Recovery & Restoration Services

Boat restoration, wet sanding, and gelcoat recovery — by assessment only.

Overview

Heavy recovery, wet sanding, and gelcoat restoration — by assessment.

Quoted after inspection. Wet sand gelcoat restoration typically begins at CA$110 per foot.

Some vessels need more than a service level — they need a recovery.

These engagements are never sold from a menu. Each begins with a mandatory in-person inspection, an honest scope, and a clear plan. We proceed only where a genuine recovery is achievable.
