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.
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1990 and 2005, have shown vulnerabilities to water ingress due to outdated cladding systems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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At Bare Construction, we guide our clients through every step of the
recladding journey — from early inspections and architectural design,
right through to completion.
When you first reach out to us, we’ll provide a rough estimate based on the size of your home (in square metres) and the materials previously used. This is not a full cost breakdown, but it gives you a ballpark figure to help you decide whether you’d like to explore things further.
If you’re happy to proceed, one of our architects will redesign your home with the new cladding. If you’d like additional modifications to the existing structure of your home, we can factor these in as well.
These drawings are then shared with our specialist subcontractors, allowing us to obtain accurate pricing.
Then we’ll provide you a fixed lump-sum price. This gives you confidence moving forward, while acknowledging that pricing may adjust slightly depending on any hidden damage (e.g. rot) or design changes.
You’ll have the opportunity to discuss changes, whether that’s adding new elements or removing items. We’re happy to work with you to tailor the scope to meet your vision and budget.
Once the final scope and recladding cost are agreed upon and you have confirmed your finances, you can apply for a home loan or work with your bank to confirm funding. Once you're ready to go ahead. , Wwe’ll sign the contract together and lock in a start date for recladding.

Yes, if you're planning to reclad your home in Auckland, you will need to obtain a building consent from Auckland Council, especially if you're changing the cladding or roof material type. We can advise you on the appropriate materials to get the building consent. This applies regardless of whether the work is for aesthetic reasons or to address weather-tightness issues.
As your recladding partner, we take care of this process for you.
You can reclad your home anytime to give it a modern, clean aesthetic and increase its market value. If you are considering recladding for weather-tighness issues, here are some key signs that your home may need recladding:
Cladding materials have a limited lifespan. Houses built during the ‘leaky home’ era (1990 - 2005) with materials such as plaster would need recladding to ensure the house is dry and healthy.
Sealing cracks and adding control joints may temporarily fix the problem. However, the extent to which the structural integrity of the house has been compromised can be seen only after all the cladding has been removed.
The best way to fix a leaky home is to reclad it.
