ArchiPro features only the best commercial and residential cladding contractors in Australia, ready to help with your next project.

Cladding installation and repairs

Cladding should always be installed and repaired by professionals with the experience to do so, especially when it comes to aspects like weather tightness as is the case with external cladding. There are contractors who are specialists in all types of cladding installation and repairs.

Cladding supply

There are also professionals in Australia who specialise as cladding suppliers, either focussing on a specific type of material like natural wood or a broad range of options. Working directly with these professionals is typically the best way to get favourable rates for cladding supplies.

Recladding

When you need to reapply or replace cladding, a recladding specialist will be able to assist. They know exactly how to approach existing cladding setups to ensure work is reintegrated seamlessly.

Custom cladding design and consultation

Cladding contractors provide design consultations to help clients select the most suitable materials and styles for their projects. For unique requirements, they offer custom fabrication services to create bespoke cladding solutions. Sometimes they’ll work with specialists, like metal fabricators, for complex jobs. 

The advantages of hiring a trusted cladding contractor

Skilled cladding contractors can make or break a project in Australia, given the importance of cladding to the overall outcome. They ensure a professional finish that looks flawless on the interior or exterior of a home. This is particularly important if you need partial recladding and want to keep the natural colour of your cladding. Painting or decorating your cladding is safe in the hands of these specialists, who can create an even colour that perfectly matches the aesthetic of your vision. This makes them the complete package as experts in style and substance.

How to choose the best cladding contractors for your project

The best cladding contractor for your project will depend on the type of project you’re undertaking. First, you should differentiate between external and internal cladding contractors. External cladding contractors can provide a robust, strong structure with impressive curb appeal while an internal cladding contractor can integrate cosmetic decoration, interior design and interesting architectural details into the cladding work. Overall, you should ensure your cladding contractor can work with the material you’ve envisioned and provide expert advice to help with your building plans. Finding projects in their portfolio of work, easily done on ArchiPro, is also a good idea to see if there are any that are similar to yours.

FAQs

What permits are required to change cladding?

In Australia, it’s advisable to obtain permits before initiating a cladding project. This is because cladding forms an integral part of a home’s structure, meaning it’s involved in a home’s integrity and strength. The extent of the work involved necessitates permits from appropriate government entities.

Is a house able to be lived in during recladding?

Whether you can live in a house that’s being reclad largely depends on the extent of invasiveness of the recladding job and how long this will take. Professionals recommend moving out during a full recladding while for smaller jobs that may only take place in a single room, you can remain in your home and simply avoid entering that room.

Does cladding a house take a long time?

Recladding a home takes 12 to 16 weeks on average in Australia. Each wall takes around 2–5 days, varying from project to project. The scope of the work, including the size of the house and the expertise involved, will alter the length of the project. However, the trade-off is worth it, as high-quality cladding is expected to last many years.
