Interior Remodeling FAQs

How long does a typical interior remodeling project take?

Timeline varies greatly based on scope. A simple upholstery refresh might take 2-3 weeks, while a complete galley remodel could take 4-6 weeks. Full interior refits can take several months. We provide detailed timelines during the proposal phase and keep you updated throughout the project.

Can I stay aboard during the remodeling work?

For small projects like single-cabin upholstery or minor upgrades, staying aboard is often possible. For larger projects involving galley or head work that affect essential systems, we typically recommend arranging alternative accommodations. We'll discuss this during planning to minimize disruption.

How do I choose the right fabrics and materials?

We guide you through the selection process, bringing samples aboard so you can see how materials look in your vessel's lighting. We'll explain the performance characteristics, maintenance requirements, and durability of each option. Our team has extensive experience helping clients make choices they'll love for years.

What's the difference between automotive and marine upholstery?

Marine upholstery must withstand constant moisture, salt air, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. Marine fabrics are specifically engineered to resist mildew, fading, and degradation. Marine foams are treated to resist moisture absorption. Using non-marine materials in a boat environment leads to rapid deterioration and mildew issues.

Can you match existing woodwork and finishes?

Yes, our craftsmen are skilled at color matching and can replicate existing wood species, stain colors, and finish types. We'll create samples for your approval before proceeding. This ensures new work blends seamlessly with original components you're keeping.

Do you offer design consultation services only?

Yes, we can provide design-only services if you prefer to manage installation separately. We'll create detailed plans, specifications, and material selections that you or your chosen contractors can use for implementation.

What about ventilation and moisture control in closed areas?

Proper ventilation is critical in marine environments. When renovating cabins, heads, or storage areas, we ensure adequate ventilation to prevent mildew and moisture damage. This might include adding vents, upgrading fans, or designing cabinet layouts that promote air circulation.

Do you provide warranties on materials and workmanship?

Absolutely. Materials come with manufacturer warranties (typically 3-10 years depending on the product), and we provide workmanship warranties on all installation. Specific terms are detailed in your project proposal.

How much value does interior remodeling add to a vessel?

Well-executed interior upgrades typically return 60-80% of their cost in added vessel value, and make boats significantly easier to sell. Modern, well-maintained interiors are among the top factors buyers consider. We can advise on which upgrades provide the best return on investment.
