House Recladding

Weather tightness can be an issue especially in the older homes and unfortunately with the leaky homes in NZ some older homes have had a bad rap.

Recladding is a big job and can be costly if not done right. It requires time dealing with council and inspections and managing the different Sub-Contractors.

If you are having issues with a leaky home or need to update your tired looking cladding our team can help.

Our Team Can Help You With The Following:

  • Planning and project managing
  • Booking in Sub-Contractors, and scaffolding
  • Organise for your home to be wrapped to protect it from the weather
  • Removal and disposal of existing cladding
  • All Council inspections
  • Repair work to any damaged components of existing cladding
  • Install new cladding
  • Re-paint of new or repaired cladding

“I’ve seen Gary Donaldson and his team at work on local building projects for some time. I’ve been impressed with his work ethic and the final result, sometimes even through very challenging weather conditions. I approached Gary regarding building a substantial extension to our family home. Right from the start, the things that stand out are Gary’s communication skills, explaining the steps, processes and timelines required for our build project. Gary provided us with a build cost estimate prior to starting. We were well informed all the way during the building process and didn’t have any extra surprises at the end. Gary has an excellent team of people that “crack on” and get the job done right first time. I recall listening to his team’s laughter, friendly banter and positive communications from the start of the day until the days work was done, every day. Gary is well organised and kept the project moving forward with materials arriving prior to being required and his specialist sub trades contacts to take the project to the next stage. Tania & I are both delighted with the quality of workmanship delivered and the building experience we had with Gary Donaldson Builders and his team. They project was completed on time. They all worked hard and did a great job. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gary Donaldson for any building projects and when we have our next building project we will be talking once again to Gary about our new plans and engaging in his services. We have built a few new homes and renovations in the past. We found that based on the above points, Gary Donaldson’s company has been the best company to deal with. If anyone would like to view this build that Gary has completed for us we’d be proud to show you and talk directly.”
