From leaky home to weathertight

Before and after recladding — leaky monolithic plaster home transformed with new weatherboard cladding

Monolithic plaster to weatherboard

Thousands of Auckland homes built between 1995 and 2005 suffer from the leaky building syndrome. Monolithic plaster cladding without proper cavities traps moisture, causing hidden timber rot and structural damage. Our recladding process permanently solves this — removing the failing cladding, repairing the structure, and installing a new cavity-backed cladding system that lets your home breathe.

Recladding & reroofing FAQs

How much does recladding a house cost in Auckland?

+
Recladding costs in Auckland typically range from $40,000 for a small home to $250,000+ for a large property. The main cost factors are house size, extent of structural damage, chosen cladding material, and consenting requirements. We provide a fixed-price quote after a thorough on-site assessment — no hidden costs.

How long does a recladding project take?

+
Most recladding projects take 8–16 weeks. A straightforward small home can be done in 8–10 weeks, while large homes with significant structural repairs may take 16+ weeks. You can live in the house during most of the work — we weatherproof each section as we go.

Do I need building consent for recladding?

+
Yes — recladding always requires Auckland Council building consent because it modifies the building envelope. We handle the entire consent process as part of our service, including plans, documentation, inspections, and obtaining the Code Compliance Certificate at completion.

Can you reclad a monolithic plaster home?

+
Yes — monolithic plaster recladding is one of our specialities. We strip the plaster, thoroughly assess and repair the timber frame, install a proper drained cavity system with building wrap, and apply your chosen new cladding. This permanently resolves the moisture ingress that caused the leaky home issues.

What cladding material is best for Auckland?

+
James Hardie fibre cement (Linea weatherboard or Axon panel) is the most popular choice in Auckland — 50+ year durability, low maintenance, and suits most home styles. Cedar is premium with natural warmth, and brick veneer offers virtually zero maintenance. We'll recommend based on your budget and style preference.

How much does reroofing cost in Auckland?

+
Reroofing in Auckland starts from around $15,000 for a small home and $25,000–$50,000+ for a medium to large home. Colorsteel long-run is the most popular choice. Cost depends on roof area, pitch, complexity, and whether batten/sarking replacement is needed. We often combine reroofing with recladding for better value.
