House Recladding Auckland
We understand how challenging it can be when your home’s cladding system is failing, be it due to water damage, structural issues, or simply age. Recladding is more than just replacing the exterior of a house; it’s about restoring comfort, safety, and long-term value to your home.
why reclad?
Over the past few decades, thousands of homes in Auckland, especially those built between
1990 and 2005, have shown vulnerabilities to water ingress due to outdated cladding systems
and poor construction methods. This led to hidden rot, mould, and long-term damage that not
only affects the quality of your home, but your health as well.
where we reclad?
We reclad homes right across Auckland's eastern suburbs, from Pt Chevalier through to Glendowie, including Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Remuera, and Parnell, and everywhere in between. We also take on reclad projects on the North Shore, including Takapuna and Devonport. If you're unsure whether your area is covered, get in touch, we're happy to talk it through.
the benefits of recladding
1. weather-tight protection
Recladding restores your home’s ability to resist water and moisture. We install modern cavity systems and compliant materials designed for Auckland’s climate, giving you confidence that your home is protected long-term.
2. improved health & air quality
Leaky homes often harbour mould and dampness that affect indoor air quality. Recladding helps eliminate these risks by resolving moisture issues at the source and allowing your home to breathe properly again.
3. structural integrity
During recladding, we strip away the old façade and inspect the framing underneath. Any hidden timber damage or decay is addressed, ensuring the structural integrity of your home is fully restored.
4. modern aesthetics
Recladding can give your home a fresh, updated look. Whether you want a sleek modern finish or to restore the character of an older property, we’ll help you choose cladding materials that match your vision.
5. increased property value
A reclad home is more attractive to buyers and lenders. It’s a signal that your property is safe, compliant, and built to last, a major selling point in Auckland’s competitive market.
our recladding process
Recladding is one of the biggest decisions a homeowner can make, financially and emotionally. If your home shows signs of water damage, ageing cladding, or you have simply had enough of the stress that comes with a leaky home, you are not alone. Auckland's housing stock includes thousands of homes built with cladding systems that have not stood the test of time, and getting it right the second time matters.
At Bare Construction, we guide you through every step of the recladding journey, from the first inspection through to a Code Compliance Certificate, with one team responsible for the design and the build throughout.
1. initial estimate & assessment
When you first reach out to us, we will provide a rough estimate based on the size of your home in square metres and the cladding materials previously used. This is not a full cost breakdown, but it gives you a ballpark figure to help you decide whether you would like to explore things further.
2. preliminary design & design progression
When you are happy to proceed, one of our architects will redesign your home with the new cladding. If you would like additional modifications to the existing structure of your home, we can factor these in as well.
We aim to make this process as stress free as possible. While we lead the design, there is ongoing communication back and forth to make sure the outcome is genuinely yours.
Once the design is settled, we provide you with a fixed lump sum price. This gives you confidence moving forward, while acknowledging that pricing may adjust slightly depending on any hidden damage, such as rot, found once work begins, or design changes you request.
3. customisation & final pricing
You will have the opportunity to discuss changes, whether that is adding new elements or removing items. We are happy to work with you to tailor the scope to meet your vision and your budget.
Once the design is completed, we price the drawings and bring in specialist subcontractors, such as electricians, to price specialty items. We provide you with a detailed price breakdown for your home, so it is easy to understand exactly where the build price sits.
Once you are happy with the drawings, we submit them to council. Council usually comes back with Requests for Information (RFIs) as part of the process. Council processing time usually takes approximately four to six weeks, depending on the complexity of the build.
Once you are ready to go ahead, we sign the contract together and lock in a start date for recladding
5. recladding begins
During the recladding process, we keep you fully informed:
- Fortnightly updates summarising site progress and next steps.
- A monthly report tracking overall progress, timelines, and budget alignment, with your monthly invoice included.
- Full coordination of council inspections, ensuring compliance at every stage.
You will always know where things stand and what is coming next.
6. Final Approvals
As construction nears completion, we begin the final compliance steps:
- We apply for Practical Completion with the engineer.
- We collect Producer Statements from all subcontractors and designers involved.
- These are submitted to your local council to obtain your Code Compliance Certificate (CCC).
Our team responds quickly alongside any consultants involved, to help push this through as fast as possible.
7. Handover
Once the CCC is granted, our team takes professional photographs of your newly reclad home, a proud moment worth capturing.
You're in safe hands. We know that recladding can feel like a big step, financially and emotionally. Our team is here to guide you with honesty, clarity, and genuine care at every turn.
