Project Background
Two adjoining residential units in Auckland had been experiencing ongoing water intrusion that caused significant deterioration to their soffit and fascia boards. Over time, moisture exposure weakened timber components and impacted the overall exterior appearance of the building.
The property management company required a full assessment and repair solution that would restore structural integrity, prevent future water damage, and maintain a clean, consistent finish across both units — all while minimising disruption to tenants.
DCW Services was engaged to manage the full exterior restoration process.
Our Repair & Replacement Process
1. Assessment & Planning
We completed a detailed inspection to identify the extent of water damage, structural risk areas, and replacement requirements. A staged work plan was created to ensure safety compliance and efficient execution.
2. Removal & Structural Repair
All damaged soffit boards and fascia sections were carefully removed. Affected framing was reinforced where required to restore stability and prevent future moisture intrusion.
3. Installation & Finishing
New soffit and fascia materials were installed using weather-resistant products suited to Auckland’s climate. Final alignment and finishing ensured a seamless appearance across both properties.
4. Site Coordination & Safety
Work was coordinated around tenant access and safety requirements. All work complied with NZ building standards and site safety procedures.
