Weatherboard repair and replacement period home renovations
Many period home houses have weatherboard cladding. Timber weatherboards can become weathered over many years if not maintained and protected by paint coatings we replace and repair weatherboards when renovating period homes. Unprotected weatherboards exposed to the element can develop woodrot and allow water intrusion into the wall creating dampness within the house and damaging structural timber. We can match period home weatherboards and timber baseboards and restore existing period home weatherboards. |
