Professional Bottom Paint Removal and Recoating Service for

Boats in Grand Haven, MI, spend their seasons battling algae buildup, freshwater minerals, and harsh UV exposure that gradually weaken bottom paint. Once bottom coatings begin to fail, the hull loses efficiency, and drag increases on the water. Bottom paint removal and recoating restore hull performance by clearing deteriorated layers and applying a fresh protective coating. Old paint often peels in flakes or becomes uneven, which prevents new paint from bonding correctly. Professional removal clears the hull down to a clean, consistent surface so the new coating adheres smoothly. After preparation, a durable freshwater-compatible bottom paint is applied to protect the vessel from algae attachment, moisture intrusion, and long-term wear.

The process supports vessel performance throughout the boating season. A clean, coated hull moves more efficiently through Lake Michigan, reducing strain on the engine and improving fuel use. Fresh bottom coatings help preserve structural integrity and make seasonal maintenance easier. Many boat owners choose removal and recoating before spring launch or after fall haul out to start the next season with a fully protected hull. A properly refinished bottom keeps the vessel running smoothly and maintains the long-term value of the boat.
