The cost of recladding a house in Auckland can fluctuate largely based on factors such as;
- Chosen materials – pricing can vary significantly so it’s important to factor this into your design process when weighing up your options.
- The complexity of your home’s design – the size of your house, accessibility and cladding design have an impact on project duration as well as the amount of scaffolding or wrap required – and thus cost.

Prices can vary greatly depending on the condition of your home, its location and your material choices.

How long does recladding a house take?
The timeline for a recladding project varies based on the size of your home, the extent of any underlying issues discovered, and the complexity of the new cladding system. On average, most residential recladding projects take between 12-16 weeks to complete. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the process.
Do I need building consent for recladding in Auckland?
Yes, recladding work in Auckland typically requires building consent from the Auckland Council. As part of our comprehensive service, Cain Built and our trusted designers can assist with the consent process, preparing and submitting the necessary documentation to ensure compliance with current building regulations.
What are the signs that my house needs recladding?
Key indicators include visible cracks or gaps in your existing cladding, water stains on interior walls, mould or mildew growth, rotting timber, warped cladding panels, or persistent dampness inside your home. If your home was built between the late 1980s and early 2000s using monolithic cladding systems, it may be particularly vulnerable to weather-tightness issues.
What is the most weather-resistant cladding for New Zealand homes?
Several cladding options perform exceptionally well in New Zealand’s varied climate. Timber weatherboards, brick veneer, and modern composite cladding systems all offer excellent weather resistance when properly installed. The best choice depends on your home’s specific exposure conditions, architectural style, and budget. Our team can provide expert guidance on the most suitable weather-resistant options for your Auckland property.
