Doing our house was quite a project and being recommended to Licensed Reclads gave us peace of mind right from the beginning. The team - from the top to the bottom were easy to talk to, to partner with and to understand and communicate with.
I strongly recommend this team to anyone in the future if they want up front information that is clear and concise with easy to understand details. The owners, Mark and Rupert, explain the whole process in a clear and simple way making sure that you understand from the outset what is to be expected also ensuring that there are no surprises along your journey which gives peace of mind.
The costings are laid out before the project begins, these are clear and easy to understand, they tell you when payments are due, what the funds were being used for and what is still due to come (phasing and rationales), constant updates are also given both in writing and verbally. If you have any additions that you want to add, you can do so with the knowledge that no request on your behalf is either too small or too stupid. The team always spoke to us with great respect and made it clear that if anyone, either on the team or any of their sub-contractors were disrespectful in any way we were to say as this was one thing that would not be tolerated.
The builder James, who was the foreman on our site always welcomed me in and gave me up to date information about what was going on - we have kept abreast of all happenings all of the time which meant a lot to us as our home is our pride and joy and this, in essence, made me also feel like I was a part of the whole project. The finish to our home is of extremely high quality and is still causing people to stop and comment as they go up or down our street (we have even had people photographing our house and the reclad sign so that they have the details for when they are ready to renovate themselves).
Thanks Mark, Rupert (and James), we just love our home and you helped to make it even better than what it was before, we are so proud of the finished product and as such take great delight when we entertain and are told "Wow, this is just like a show home!"
Having a house with a monolithic-clad upper storey was always a worry and, although I had no leak issues, I had attended to a few surface cracks over the years and wanted the house re-clad before retirement – while I still had a steady income. Mark and Rupert and the team were fantastic.
Mark provided a detailed quote so I knew where every cent was going. He visited me to discuss the proposed work in detail. Licensed Reclads work with a specialist architect and this was reassuring too. The plans went through Council without a hitch. There were no surprises during the re-clad. The team answered my every query with patience and made some good suggestions. I had total trust in this team and they produced a great result.
My home looks brand new. Highly recommend them and am happy for anyone to come and inspect their great work!
It was a massive decision for us to decide to have our house reclad. It was plaster clad, a little dated and while we were fairly certain there were no leaks, the negative perception was always going to reduce the potential resale value.
We knew the cost would be considerable, it would be a risk and having heard some horrendous reports of rogue builders and nightmare results, we were extremely nervous. Although Rupert and Mark had been recommended we had no prior knowledge of who they were or their build quality. Their assessment of the house and what would be required was extremely accurate, They were thorough and professional in everything they did including their contacts with Council.
What subcontractors they used, painting, plumbing, electrics etc were just as proficient and all on time. We couldn't have been happier with the finished outcome. Testament to the finished job is we have had 2 estate agents contact us, complimenting the house and wanting to know if we will sell. Guys a very special thanks and especially to Sam and crew.
Licensed Reclads were amazing. They knew exactly what do and how to fix it. That's where their experience really came through. Our home is so amazing now and even a year on, people still stop along our street if we're outside the compliment the home and ask who did it.
Thank you so much guys, we'll be forced thankful for your contribution in fixing our family home. Highly recommended paying for their quality workmanship (you wouldn't be needing them in the first place if they'd built your home to start with!)
Their experience and knowledge were obvious. They recommended an Architect and took care of all Council requirements. The whole team was approachable, helpful and easy to reach. They were subjected to my endless questions and were always good-natured and convivial. The project was very well managed and on time. Rupert provided regular updates making the process far less stressful, as I knew what was happening at all times. The workmanship is an excellent standard and my house is by far better than ever.
A huge thanks to Mark, Rupert, Cameron, and all at Licensed Reclads
So we bit the bullet and decided to investigate. A couple of other companies were contacted. One company said they would contact us back but did not do so and the other didn't reply to our message. Mark Wilson not only answered the phone, he came around within half an hour!! Together with Rupert Copping they are a very professional and down to earth team. The builders were great and respectful.
A great indictment of a good Kiwi business. I would highly recommend them, they are excellent with problem-solving, liaising with the council and keeping us informed about the process.
They delivered on time and in budget. But above all else their communication and workmanship were first class. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
They kept good communication with us as well as took away all the stress from us. We highly recommend their services."
They were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and we couldn't be happier with how our house has turned out. The quality of the finished work exceeded all expectations, and communication throughout the process was excellent. It was also very obvious that Mark and Rupert take a huge amount of pride in their craftsmanship, and this really shows in the end result.
I would highly recommend Licensed Reclads to anyone looking for the best in the business to take care of their reclad job."
The team of builders working on our house were polite and professional. There were no hidden extra costs or surprises, the workmanship was perfect and any followups were completed quickly and without hesitation or query.
We have happily helped other people with their decision in choosing Licensed Reclads to complete their building requirements in our area. Cheers guys!"
