Investment

Building & Maintenance pricing and time

The cost and time of this project depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The extent of the repair required
  • Type of material - timber, weatherboard, decking or fencing
  • Condition of the existing structure
  • Amount of preparation required
  • Whether repairs are bundled with painting
  • Access and complexity of the project
  • Availability of matching materials
  • Scope of general maintenance required

Because every home is different, we don't believe in giving you an unrealistic one-size-fits-all price and schedule.

Instead, we assess your project and provide a quote based on the actual work required.

Client Reviews

What Wellington clients say

★★★★★

Our deck was looking rough after years of weather. Repaired the worst boards and recoated it - looks brand new.

Sarah M.Johnsonville, Wellington
★★★★★

Rotten weatherboards replaced and matched into the existing paint so well you can't tell which ones are new.

David L.Karori, Wellington
★★★★★

Our fence panels were falling apart. Replaced and recoated to match, done alongside our exterior repaint.

Priya R.Miramar, Wellington
★★★★★

Fascia boards were rotting badly. Fixed properly and repainted - no more water getting in behind the gutters.

James T.Khandallah, Wellington
★★★★★

Deck boards replaced ahead of summer. Saved us hiring a separate builder - one crew handled everything.

Anna K.Island Bay, Wellington
★★★★★

Timber window joinery had rot we hadn't even noticed. Repaired and repainted, blends in perfectly now.

Mark H.Newtown, Wellington
FAQs

Common questions

Do you handle both minor maintenance repairs and larger building projects?

Yes. Whether you need a small patch-up on a damaged door frame, single weatherboard replacements, or full exterior timber restoration before a complete repaint, we handle jobs of all sizes across the Wellington region.

Can you work on both interior and exterior areas?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can assist with both interior and exterior maintenance, repairs, preparation and painting-related work.

Do I need to leave my home while building maintenance is being done?

No. We work cleanly and efficiently to minimise disruption. If repairs involve heavy dust, noise or temporary access restrictions, we notify you well in advance to arrange a comfortable plan.

How do you handle height access for high-level maintenance?

Our team is fully certified in height safety. We utilise edge protection, mobile scaffolding or cherry pickers to safely perform maintenance on multi-storey Wellington homes and steep hillside sites.

How do you repair timber rot on Wellington weatherboards and joinery?

We remove all soft, decayed timber back to sound wood. Minor rot is treated with high-grade wood hardeners and epoxy fillers. Where rot is extensive, we replace the entire weatherboard or timber section with treated, climate-resilient timber.

Can you repair water-damaged drywall and ceilings?

Yes. We locate and confirm the water source is fixed, cut out ruined plasterboard, treat any internal framing for moisture or mould, install fresh GIB® plasterboard, and plaster it to a smooth Level 4 or Level 5 finish ready for paint.

How do Wellington's severe weather conditions affect building maintenance?

Wellington's strong winds, rain and coastal salt air accelerate timber decay and rusted fixings. We use heavy-duty galvanised or stainless steel fasteners, marine-grade sealants and exterior-grade treated timber (H3.2/H5) engineered for local exposure.

Are you fully insured to carry out structural repairs and building maintenance?

Yes. Right Choice Decorators holds comprehensive public liability insurance, ensuring complete protection for your property, family or commercial tenants while we work.

Can you manage several maintenance jobs at the same time?

Yes. If your property requires multiple repairs or improvements, we can discuss the work as a single project and help prioritise the jobs based on their condition and requirements.

Do you clean up after the work?

Yes. We keep the work area organised throughout the project and clean up materials and rubbish when the work is completed. We aim to leave the area as clean and tidy as practical.

Do you offer warranties on your building repair work?

Yes. We back all building and maintenance work with a solid workmanship guarantee, alongside manufacturer warranties on all replacement building materials and sealants used.
