Many homes built during the New Zealand leaky home crisis suffer from moisture damage caused by failing cladding systems, poor flashing details, or inadequate ventilation. At Keen Builders Ltd, we provide full recladding services to remove defective cladding, repair structural damage, and restore the home with modern weatherproof systems.
Our goal is to resolve moisture issues properly while modernising the exterior of the home, giving it a renewed appearance and long-term protection from the elements.
Our Recladding Process
Removal of Defective Cladding
We carefully remove existing cladding systems that have failed or allowed water ingress. This stage exposes the framing so any damage can be properly assessed.
Structural Repairs and Damage Resolution
If moisture has caused timber rot or structural deterioration, we repair or replace the affected framing. This ensures the home is structurally sound before new cladding is installed.
Building Wrap and Flashing Installation
Modern building wraps, cavity battens, and flashing systems are installed to improve weather protection and allow proper moisture drainage.
Installation of New Cladding Systems
Homeowners can choose from a range of durable exterior finishes, including:
Timber weatherboards
Cement-based cladding systems
Modern exterior cladding profiles
These systems provide improved durability while enhancing the overall appearance of the home.
Modernising Your Home
Recladding provides an opportunity to refresh the entire exterior of your home. Along with resolving moisture issues, we can also update the look and performance of the building by improving detailing, trims, and finishing systems.
This process helps transform homes affected by the leaky building era into modern, durable homes designed to perform in New Zealand’s climate.
