Left untreated, they can let in moisture, cause damp patches, and slowly eat away at the structure of your home or building.Our outside plaster repair services are designed to fix that properly.
We don’t do quick touch-ups that flake off in a few months. We investigate what’s causing the issue, plan out the repair in detail, and use materials that can actually stand up to New Zealand’s weather. That’s what separates us from the “cheap and fast” crowd; we do it once, and we do it right.

Property managers dealing with long-neglected rentals
