 Read the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to get you a better idea of the scope and cost of your weatherboard repairs.

Professional Weatherboard Fixing 

Weatherboards are shielding the house from the outside elements and significantly contribute to the aesthetic appeal of your home. Over time, wear and tear can have an impact on the integrity and appearance of your weatherboards. Depending on how bad the situation is, you can get away with minor restoration and painting or you might need a more complex weatherboard repair or even replacement service. Weatherboards are quite simple to replace if they eroded in time. Removing weatherboards presents an opportunity to install or replace insulation as well to insulate your house and protect you from the cold and hot extremes. We have many years of experience of replacing weatherboards in sections of walls or installing weatherboards around an entire house. 

How Much Do Weatherboard Repairs Cost?

As usual, the answer depends on how seriously damaged your weatherboards are. If we will be repairing only certain sections of your weatherboard cladding, the cost for the entire project including weatherboard painting can be under $10,000. If all weatherboards require changing, a ballpark figure for one side of the house is $10,000. So, for one storey house, the cost to replace all weatherboards would be $40,000 including time and material. If the structural timber behind the weatherboards needs replacement, the cost for the weatherboard replacement projects goes up.
