Coastside Roofing Specialise in Residential Roof Repairs.
They can be very simple, extremely difficult or anywhere in between.
You would think that repairs would generally be easier than installing a new roof – well sometimes they are – but often they can be very tricky indeed. Most are temporary in nature but they can be done properly.
The first step in fixing a leak is to find out exactly what is causing the leak. Finding this can sometimes take longer than doing the actual repair! Basically, if the roofing contractor is not totally sure he found the cause – he probably didn’t and any work that was done was done in vain. Coastside Roofing has developed an exact process for finding and fixing leaks which is being turned into a manual for homeowners and contractors.
Finding the exact cause of the leak cannot be understated in importance. But doing the repairs properly is also very important. Non-standard repairs such as waterproofing materials or loads of sealant on metal roofs is a bad idea and can often end up making the problem worse or create a new problem. Sealants have their place, but the average roof repair man or handyman will tend to go overboard so it is important to get someone who knows what they are doing.

Wardrobe Tips
👗 Fit Matters: Wear clothing that fits well—too tight digs in, too loose won’t flatter. While I can smooth lines in Photoshop, I want you to feel amazing in what you wear.
💍 Remember Your Rings & Accessories! If you’re married or engaged, bring your ring! And remove hair ties and watches before your session.
👰 Brides: Feel free to bring your veil, garter, or wedding shoes! If you don’t have access to them yet, consider getting an inexpensive veil just for your shoot—it adds a beautiful touch.
Nudity & Comfort Level - your comfort, your choice
Your boudoir experience is entirely about you—your comfort, your boundaries, and your vision. Whether you’ve chosen to stay in lingerie, go for implied nudity, or embrace full nude photography, know that your choice is completely valid and celebrated.
I’ll guide you throughout the session, ensuring you feel comfortable, empowered, and in control every step of the way. If you ever want to adjust or discuss anything, I’m here to make sure this experience feels right for you.
Note: While I embrace artistic expression, I do not photograph any imagery that is abusive or involves animals in a sexual or demeaning way.
Tanning & Skin Tips
❌ Avoid tanning/spray tans right before your shoot—uneven tones and streaks show up in photos. If you must tan, do so at least a week in advance.
⚠️ Tan lines & skin tone matching: While I can soften tan lines, complete removal isn’t included in standard retouching.
