Remuera homes tend to be larger and older than average, on sites that fall away from the road. That combination means the elevation nobody can see from the street is usually the one that decides the price.
A two-storey rear wall on a falling site can be a long way off the ground. How it is reached, and whether that needs scaffolding rather than ladders, is decided at the site visit because it changes both the cost and the time on site.
Mature hedging and specimen trees sit tight against many Remuera exteriors. Access, protection of the planting and where drop sheets can go all get agreed before work starts rather than being sorted around it.
A villa with a later addition, or brick with weatherboard gables, is common here. Each material takes its own preparation and product, so the scope names the surfaces rather than pricing the house as one thing.
High ceilings, deep skirtings, panelled doors and joinery take longer to cut in and finish properly. That work is counted in the scope so the quote reflects the house you actually have.
Yes. For a two-storey exterior we will look at safe access first, because whether the rear elevation needs scaffolding is usually the single biggest factor in the price and the programme.
Yes, where the repair work is within the agreed scope. Bringing it up at the first conversation means the timber work is finished before coating rather than the paint being cut into afterwards.
It depends on size, condition, access and weather. Rather than quote a fixed number of days up front, the agreed scope sets out the preparation and coating stages so you can see what drives the timeframe on your property.
