Roofing and solar in Kapiti Coast
Repairs, new roofs, roof care and solar for homes across Kapiti Coast.
The Kapiti Coast runs from Paekakariki up to Otaki, with beach suburbs along the sand and quieter settlements inland. Beachside homes in Raumati, Paraparaumu Beach and Waikanae Beach take sea spray and onshore wind; inland streets are more sheltered and often sunnier.
Many Kapiti homes were built as beach houses and later extended, so we see mixed roofs, older iron next to newer additions, and junctions between them that need careful flashing.
Kapiti Coast exposure: Beach suburbs from Paekakariki to Otaki Beach are exposed to salt spray and wind off the Tasman; inland areas such as Waikanae, Te Horo and Otaki town are more sheltered.
NIWA describes Wellington as one of the windiest parts of New Zealand. (NIWA, Wellington regional climatology)
