What is the turnaround time for high-end fiberglass restoration?
Turnaround times vary depending on the scope and complexity of the damage, as well as the season. During peak boating months in Chelan County, scheduling fills quickly, so securing a spot early is recommended. Smaller cosmetic repairs may be completed within days, while full fiberglass restorations can require several weeks to ensure a flawless, lasting finish. Every project is handled with the precision and care that high-end vessels deserve.
How does colormatching restore a boat’s investment value?
Luxury boats are a significant investment, and their condition has a direct impact on resale value and long-term worth. Professional color matching ensures that gelcoat or fiberglass repairs blend seamlessly with the original finish, eliminating visible patches or discoloration that can decrease a vessel’s value. A flawless finish not only protects structural integrity but also maintains the boat’s aesthetic appeal, which is a key factor for buyers and owners who expect showroom-quality presentation.
What is Gelcoat and how should it be maintained?
Gelcoat is the durable, color-pigmented polyester resin that forms your boat’s glossy outer layer. Routine care preserves its luster and protects the underlying fiberglass from damage and environmental wear.
​
How much does a premium repair typically cost?
Repairs begin at $400 for precision gelcoat matching and structural touch-ups. Final costs vary based on the size, complexity, and finish required (e.g., polyflake refinishing). A detailed, written estimate is always provided in advance.
Do you repair spiderweb cracks?
Yes — and quickly is best. Spiderweb cracks can indicate underlying issues. Your repair will precisely grind away the affected gelcoat, address any structural concerns, and flawlessly resurface the finish. Early repairs prevent costlier replacements later.
