Swap painted timber for low-maintenance vinyl.
Thousands of Wollongong homes were built with traditional timber weatherboards. While they have a classic look, they come with significant ongoing maintenance demands — regular repainting, susceptibility to rot and warping, and vulnerability to the Illawarra's coastal humidity. Replacing them with modern vinyl cladding is the smart, long-term solution.
Benefits of replacing timber with vinyl

- Won't rot, warp, or crack the way timber does in coastal conditions
- Maintains its colour and appearance for decades
- Profiles that closely replicate the traditional weatherboard aesthetic
- Improved energy efficiency with insulated backing options
- Increased property value and kerb appeal
- Lower long-term cost of ownership

Will it still look like timber?
Modern vinyl cladding profiles are designed to closely replicate the appearance of traditional painted timber weatherboards. With the range of profiles and colour options available, most Wollongong homeowners are pleasantly surprised at how authentic the finished result looks — without any of the maintenance headaches.
What it costs
Weatherboard replacement pricing depends on the size of the home, the complexity of the facade, and the vinyl profile selected. As a guide, a standard single-storey home in Wollongong typically ranges from $10,000 to $22,000 all-inclusive.
