What's in a good Cladding quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each cladding installer's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring cladding installers

How much do cladding installers typically charge?
Cladding costs vary depending on the type of job and how extensive the work is. Simple patch repairs are typically much less than partial or full reclads, and jobs requiring weatherproofing or complex flashing usually cost more. The page shows live regional call-out and labour rates so you can compare current pricing for your area.
Do cladding installers charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common to cover attendance and an initial assessment. This fee is usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after-hours attendance often attracts higher rates. Confirm whether the call-out fee is included or quoted separately when requesting prices.
Do cladding installers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Cladding installers must hold the appropriate licence in Australian states and territories, with licences in NSW regulated by NSW Fair Trading. Providers will generally display a valid state builder or cladding licence on quotes and advertising, along with other industry credentials.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
