Recladding in Australia is the best way to keep your home well-maintained. Cladding is the key to making a great impression on both potential home buyers and guests. But all too often, people are putting recladding and other renovations on the backburner.
Why you might reclad your home
There are several reasons why people reclad their homes. A need to repair damage from leakage is one of the top reasons why people reclad. If you find leaks or mould, warped flooring, cracked or bulging walls, persistent allergy symptoms and musty smells then you need to know it is time to reclad your home.
Sometimes recladding doesn’t indicate a leaky home
It may be just that you want to refresh the exterior of your home. E.g., replacing the dated plasterboard with a modern weatherboard. People do not install cladding for buildings or reclad just because of aesthetic and weather tightness issues – renovated exterior could be a keystone in revamping the look of your home.
Full vs. partial recladding
If you want to reclad your home, you have the choice of doing a partial or full reclad. A full reclad has several benefits such as fixing all possible damage, stopping buyers from thinking that you are trying to hide something behind the partial reclad, and giving you the priority to adjust cladding features such as eaves and flashing.
However, a full reclad may also have several disadvantages such as taking too long to complete, disrupting living patterns and being more expensive compared to a partial reclad.
The cost of recladding
The total cost of a recladding Australia project can be variable depending on the size of your house. It is therefore difficult for contractors to provide fixed costs for a reclad. They will not know how much work is needed until the original home cladding is stripped back and that is not the only factor.
