As a renovation project, cladding your house has been linked to the solution for homes affected by the leaky-home epidemic. The perfect solution to water damage is home reclad. This involves removing exterior cladding. This allows builders to access the timber framing to repair any structural damage and replace the cladding. This allows you to repair any damage to the flooring, framing or decks causing the leaky symptoms.
Avoiding Potential Problems
You may be able to avoid a lawsuit if your house has untreated timber framing but not the symptoms of a leaky home. You can get rid of the untreated timber framing and put it in treated framing to give you peace of mind.
Beauty Improvements
Your first impression is everything. For your home, it will be your cladding. Recladding in Auckland can be a great way to update your home’s exterior and bring it up to date. You can be creative. Country home or rural home can be incorporated seamlessly into your natural surroundings. Or, you can create a modern masterpiece with strong geometric features and concrete cladding to make it stand out.
