Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Timber decks facing the sea or lagoon, paved driveways and pool areas, and outdoor braai spaces built for coastal weather.
Many Plettenberg Bay homes were built as simple beach houses and now need updating for modern holidays or for full-time living. Our building team renovates kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spaces with materials suited to the coast.

Plettenberg Bay has a mix of older beach houses, homes on the hills above Central Beach and Lookout Beach, and newer houses in estates on the edges of town. Many of the older homes were designed for simple holidays and now need bigger kitchens, more bathrooms and better outdoor spaces for families and guests. Others are being converted from holiday homes to permanent residences as more people move to the Garden Route full time.
Building on the coast here means planning for salt air, humidity and rain that can arrive in any month. Timber decks need treated wood and stainless fixings, walls and roofs need thorough waterproofing and many plots are on steep slopes that need retaining walls. Plettenberg Bay falls under the local municipality, and extensions, new structures and some alterations need approved plans from the municipality, with some estates also having their own design guidelines.
We strip out and rebuild kitchens and bathrooms, waterproof every wet area before tiling and choose fittings that hold up to coastal conditions.
Timber decks, paved patios, pool areas and braai spaces are built to make the most of the views, using materials that cope with salt and sun.
Retaining walls on sloping sites, garden walls, plastering and small additions are built by our own team, so one crew is responsible for the work.
Many estates and complexes in Plett restrict building work over the December and Easter holidays, and the town is much busier then. Planning your renovation for the quieter months gives the team room to work and means your home is finished before the season. If you live away, we can manage access and send regular progress updates.
Our team also does handyman services in Plettenberg Bay, painting in Plettenberg Bay, flooring and tiling in Plettenberg Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
