Fiberglass repair work

Structural & Cosmetic

Fiberglass & Gel Coat Repair

Fiberglass is the backbone of most modern boats, and when it's damaged — whether from impact, osmotic blistering, or stress cracking — it needs to be repaired correctly to restore both structural integrity and appearance.


Our crew is skilled in all types of fiberglass work:


  • Structural fiberglass lamination and repair
  • Osmotic blister treatment and repair
  • Gel coat crack and chip repair
  • Gel coat color matching and restoration
  • Impact damage repair
  • Transom and stringer repair

Our gel coat technicians take pride in seamless, invisible repairs — when we're done, you won't know there was ever a blemish.
