If your home was built between the 1980s and early 2000s, there’s a good chance it’s at risk of serious weather-tightness issues — especially if it was built using monolithic plaster systems. At The Renovation Team, we offer full-service house recladding across Auckland with fixed prices, fixed timelines, and no surprises.

Designer House Recladding
Recladding is the process of removing and replacing your home’s exterior cladding. It’s often required when the existing cladding is failing, either due to water damage, design flaws, or outdated materials. In many Auckland homes, especially those affected by “leaky home syndrome,” recladding is not optional — it’s essential.
We strip back the original cladding, repair or replace damaged timber, and install new, compliant systems that meet current Building Code standards. The result? A dry, healthy, modern home built to last.

Recladding gives the chance to boost thermal performance and reduce power bills

Repair hidden structural issues

Most recladding projects take 6 to 12 weeks. The exact time depends on the size of the property and the extent of damage behind the cladding. In some cases, we may recommend moving out temporarily due to the open nature of the work.
In some minor reclad jobs, yes — but in most full reclads, we recommend moving out temporarily for your safety and comfort. The cladding is removed from the entire house, which exposes the interior to the elements and creates a noisy, dusty environment.
We’ll advise you upfront whether temporary relocation is necessary and help you plan accordingly. Some of our clients move into short-term rentals or stay with family for the duration.
