$22–$50 per m² (The Quote Yard, NSW)
Typical range for this work. Your quote is fixed once we have seen the job.
Weatherboard is the most work of any exterior and the most rewarding. Boards move, old paint lifts at the laps, and anything built before the seventies may carry lead paint that has to be handled properly rather than sanded into the garden.
What moves the price
Why two quotes differ
Timber prep
weatherboard costs 20–40% more per m² than brick or render — each board inspected, nail holes filled and sealed, peeling paint scraped and feathered, joints recaulked
Rot and paint failure
weatherboard properties showing paint failure, rot damage or multiple old paint layers command upper-end pricing
Lead paint in pre-1970s homes
adds "$500 to $2,000" to typical projects
