House Cladding Stops Painting

Choose House Cladding, Save Money on Painting!

If your house isn’t cladded with high quality, lasting cladding materials, you will have to spend tens of thousands of dollars in painting and repainting costs over the years, not to mention having to organise painting services!

Builders applying house cladding.

An average 3 bedroom, single storey home will typically cost a minimum of between $8,000 and $10,000 for a full exterior paint job. The cost will vary depending on the condition of your exterior walls, the brand and quality of the paint you use, and whether you choose to hire a professional painter or prefer to take care of the job yourself.

And depending on the material your house is built from, you’ll then have to repaint your house again every 3 – 8 years.

Painted timber can last up to 10 years, but if it’s exposed to full sunlight or you live near the coast, it will need to be repainted every 2 or 3 years.

And if you have stained or clear finished timber, it needs to be refinished every 2-5 years – just more work and maintenance to do!

But What About Inflation and Over All Cost?

It will probably cost you more than $90,000 to paint your home over 20 years!

If today’s (circa 2008) house painting costs $10,000 you could waste $92,000 in painting over the house of the next 5 paint jobs. And all you are doing is trying to maintain your home. You are not improving its value – only trying to put it back where it was.

The figures below are based on a 5% p.a. inflation and painting every 5 years.

The exterior of my house was pretty poor. Wood was starting to rot, paint was peeling, extensions that had been added before we bought the house were obvious and it was truthfully quite ugly. Abbey has given my home a real facelift and i couldn't be happier with the results. There were a few communication hiccups and delays along the way but i wouldn't change a thing because my home looks simply amazing and far exceeds all my expectations. Dean was a pleasure to deal with - he was always on time, courteous and addressed all my questions and concerns with a smile and a simple explanation. Nothing was too difficult and he went out of his way to make sure i was happy with his work. He is a credit to the company. My house was not an easy install but i feel he saw it as a challenge to overcome. To anyone out there considering their options regarding external renovations I'd strongly encourage you to give Abbey a call for a free quote. It certainly wasn't our cheapest option but all things it will not only save us money in the long run but was also the most visually appealing. No painting and increased insulation, win-win.
