The cost of recladding or undertaking an exterior cladding renovation


The cost of recladding your house can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • Size and Complexity: Larger and more complex homes may require additional materials and labour.
  • Site Conditions: If your home is situated on a steep or challenging site, it may require scaffolding, adding to the expenses.
  • Extent of Damage: The condition of your home's framing underneath the existing cladding is a significant cost factor. Extensive damage may necessitate additional repairs.
  • Joinery Replacement: If your window joinery is not up to code, it may need to be replaced, contributing to the overall recladding cost.

Although the above variables make precise costing somewhat challenging, we will work with you to assess your unique situation and provide a competitive and comprehensive quote.


Weathertight recladding assessments


The leaky home epidemic in the 1992 highlighted the importance of NZ homes being weathertight. Houses built during this period were often not designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, leading to moisture-related issues. If you suspect your home may be affected by weather-tightness problems, Space Designers Limited can assess the situation and recommend appropriate recladding solutions.
