Cladding · Melbourne
The fastest way to change everything about how your home looks.
Few things transform a home like new cladding. The right profile in the right timber turns a dated exterior into something that belongs in a design magazine. And behind the looks, quality cladding protects your home from Melbourne's weather for decades.
Excel Timber supplies and installs exterior timber cladding across Melbourne's northern suburbs and Greater Melbourne: full recladding, extensions and additions, and feature areas like entries, gables and alfresco walls. Installation is everything with cladding: correct flashing, ventilation, fixing and finishing determine whether it lasts. That's carpenter's work, and it's exactly what we do.

Why Excel Timber
Why choose us for cladding
Detail-first installation
Flashings, ventilation and fixings done right mean your cladding lasts. It's the part cheap installers skip.
Design eye
Profile, orientation and colour make or break the result. We'll help you get the look you're picturing.
Structural know-how
Recladding often reveals surprises. An experienced carpenter on site means anything underneath gets fixed properly, not covered over.

Cladding questions we get asked
Straight answers before you've even picked up the phone. Anything else? Just ask.
Can you reclad over existing weatherboards?
Usually the old cladding should come off so we can inspect and fix what's underneath. It costs a little more and adds years to the result. We'll advise on your specific home.
What timber cladding lasts best in Melbourne?
Durable hardwoods and quality engineered systems both perform well when installed and finished correctly. Maintenance expectations differ, and we'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly.
Can you do a feature wall rather than the whole house?
Yes. Entries, gables, alfresco areas and front facades are popular ways to get the architectural timber look on a sensible budget.
Does new cladding need a permit?
Straight replacement usually doesn't; changes tied to structural work or extensions may. We'll confirm what applies before starting.
Will you match my existing cladding for a repair?
Wherever possible, yes, matching profile and dimension so a repair blends rather than announces itself.
