Starting Oceanfront Remodel of 1960's home

7 years ago

Looking for some advice on remodeling/gutting an oceanfront home. The main concern will be corrosion as we won't have any foreseeable flooding issues.

Here is what I found out so far...What else do I need to know and what am I getting wrong?

• Siding: Hardie Board and Stucco...regular stucco or acrylic?

• Windows: Looking at Anderson Coastal Windows. What wood should we choose on the inside? (Pine, Oak, Maple) Any other brands/lines?

• Paint: Need brand recommendations. Behr?

• Fixtures: Stainless, Solid brass or copper...any finish over that is fine (thinking polished nickel). Thinking Kohler...

• Lighting: Stainless, Solid brass or copper...looking at Circa Lighting...

• Appliances: Stainless where needed and paneled everywhere else. Any brand recommendations?

• Countertop: Looking at Deckton or other quartz.

• Cabinets: Wood (what type? White Oak?) and White High Gloss (what base material?)

• Flooring: Tile

• Roofing: Metal (anything else we need to know?)

• HVAC: Needs Marine coating inside.

• Sliding doors: Need recommendations.

• Door Hardware: Stainless.

Thank you for your help...salt water air is so rough!

Yes, salt air is rough. I'd stay away from stainless as much as possible. It can still rust.

Re appliances (this being the appliances forum), brand recommendations come after a description of your lifestyle, family, cooking style, aspirations, etc. And most of all, budget.

316 stainless is recommended for a coastal build. 304 will rust. I'd look at Miele for appliances.

This is the appliance forum. You might be better off on the Remodeling forum for the exterior and interior discussions and this forum for appliances.

Unfortunately, I can't delete or edit this post in anyway after 2 hours, (thanks houzz)! I'll have to consider a re-post. Thanks for pointing that out... I have do it filed under design dilemma as well, apparently you can only choose 3 tags and I have endless categories I need advice on...

that being said, I am interested in what appliances I can find that are 316 stainless! :)

Just to clarify: Houzz took over Gardenweb, which has separate forums for things like appliances, kitchens, remodeling, etc. Most of the folks here are still GW people who don't go into the Houzz side at all, and there are experts who donate their time in each specific forum, so you would really be better off going to the appropriate forums for your reposts instead of relying on Houzz tags. The forum list is here:

We don't see Houzz tags here, although using some of them will also make posts appear on the GW side. It's an awful mishmash right now.

ETA When reposting about the house itself, be sure to include what part of the country you're in: oceanfront in FL has some different issues than oceanfront in New England, for example.
