Whether you are ready for recladding Auckland or are just a little curious to know what’s involved in it, listed below is some helpful information about basic recladding Auckland costs.
How much does basic recladding Auckland cost?
If you are planning to reclad a sturdy house or a high-quality brick-tile building, chances are that your renovations Auckland project will be quite straightforward. However, remember that even the low-risk home can end up having a higher recladding cost than the one you bargained for.
The first thing you must know is that your renovations Auckland consultant cannot give you a 100% fixed upfront for your recladding Auckland project. There are a lot of factors that contribute to the final cost and all of them cannot be known just from the outset.
The most important thing is the size of your home. A home with one-level will likely to be more cost-effective as compared to the one with multiple levels. Even a complex designed house costs more than a simply designed house. Plus you’ll have to pay a bit more if your house is located at a tricky or steep site because it will need extensive scaffolding.
What is the leaky home syndrome and why did it happen?
Due to poor building practices, unappealing house plans NZ, and horrible designs, the 1990s was not a good time for the New Zealand construction industry. The dreaded leaky home syndrome haunts the people of New Zealand to date. With just a hint of moisture, homeowners fear the arrival of a bigger problem.
However, the good news is that the year your house was built in can tell a lot about the level of risk. It can help you prevent a leaky home. Homes built before 1990 are at lower risk, homes built between 1990-1997 are at high risk, and homes built between 1998-2004 are at greater risk. Fortunately, it reverts to lower risk after 2004.
What are the costs involved in recladding?
Moisture-testing alone cannot give you an accurate prediction about the condition of the framing underneath. Most companies give a calculation for the worst-case scenario which includes the replacement of all the timber. However, the most common scenario is the one where only a proportion of timber needs replacing. Timber that gets replaced is usually the one that is wet, decayed, or moldy.
