Beauty Comes with a Price: Salt.
Matua is one of Tauranga’s most desirable suburbs, but being a peninsula means you are surrounded by the harbour. The prevailing westerlies drive salt spray deep into your property, often accumulating under soffits and on window joinery.
Standard paint tends to chalk quickly here. At Tomar Contracting, we treat Matua homes with the same "Marine-Grade" respect we give beachfront properties, ensuring your home stays pristine despite the elements.

Tailored Solutions for Matua Homes
Soffit & Fascia Restoration
Context: In Matua, the wind pushes salt up under the eaves (soffits) where rain doesn't wash it away.
The Problem: You often see peeling paint or "rust spots" on soffit nails.
Our Solution: We perform a chemical salt-wash on all eaves before painting. We use mould-resistant acrylics that stay bright white and resist the damp, salty air trapped under your roofline.
High-Access & View Protection
Context: Many Matua homes are 2-story to capture the harbour views.
The Service: Scaffolding Specialists. We own our own mobile scaffolding towers. This allows us to access high gables and windows safely without charging you for a massive fixed scaffold setup that blocks your driveway for weeks.
Aluminium Joinery Restoration
Context: 1980s/90s bronze or silver aluminium joinery often looks faded and pitted.
The Service: Don't replace your windows. We can often clean and restore faded joinery, or mask and spray it with specialized 2-pack coatings to modernize the look of the entire house.

Matua Painting Frequently Asked Questions
It can be. Water gets in but can't get out. We use high-build elastomeric paint that stretches to bridge these cracks and seal the home watertight.
For standard 2-story work where we can use our mobile towers, we often include this in the price. For complex fixed scaffolding, we arrange it at competitive trade rates.
