We specialise in restoring, protecting, and maintaining cedar cladding so it performs beautifully for years to come. Explore our core services below.

  • Over time, cedar cladding can fade, dry out, and lose its natural protection. Our restoration process carefully cleans, prepares and re-oils your cedar using premium products suited to New Zealand conditions. The result is timber that not only looks beautiful again but is properly protected against UV, moisture, and environmental wear.

  • Regular maintenance is the key to keeping cedar cladding looking its best and performing as it should. Our scheduled maintenance cleans and re-oiling programmes help prevent premature weathering, extend the life of your timber, and protect your investment, giving you confidence your cedar is cared for year after year.

  • Many cedar properties include decks, pergolas and exterior timber features that require specialist care to maintain their appearance and durability. We treat these areas with the same attention and compatible protection systems used on your cedar cladding, helping your whole exterior age evenly and perform better over time.

  • Choosing the right colour and protection system can make a significant difference to how your cedar looks and performs over time. We provide practical guidance based on experience, including test patches where appropriate, so you can feel confident in your decisions before any work begins.
