What to know about Siding
Siding is an American word. In Australia the trade is external wall cladding, and on a house the everyday terms are weatherboards, fibro or fibre cement, and metal or composite cladding. Most Australian homes are brick veneer, so cladding work here is often a mixture: a weatherboard cottage being reclad, a fibro house whose sheets are failing, a brick veneer home getting a clad upper floor or a lightweight extension, or a gable and eaves lining being replaced after storm or water damage.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the area and the height of the walls
- Material chosen
- Removal of the existing material
- Repairs needed to what's underneath
- Access, including ladders, scaffolding or lifts
- Trim, corners and openings to work around
How to choose siding contractors in Melton
- Choose a pro who works regularly with your material, whether that's siding, stucco, brick, eavestroughs or soffit and fascia.
- Ask them to explain what's causing the problem, not only how they'll cover it up.
- Get a written quote that separates removal, repairs to what's underneath and the new finish.
- For chimney and masonry work, look for someone with specific masonry experience rather than a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or scaffolding.
Questions to ask siding contractors before you hire
- What do you think is causing the damage, and will your work fix the cause?
- Will you check the sheathing or wall underneath once the old material is off?
- How will you handle water management, such as flashing, caulking and drainage?
- Does this work need a permit from my municipality, and who will get it?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Siding permits in Victoria
Some siding work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Roofers guide
An Australian roof is designed around wind, sun, driving rain and embers rather than snow load. Sheet metal dominates new work and re-roofing, concrete and terracotta tiles cover a great deal of the older suburban…

Roof Repair guide
Most Australian roof repairs are one of three jobs: stopping a leak, arresting corrosion, or putting right ridge and hip capping that has let go.

Roof Replacement guide
Replacing a roof in Australia is mostly a choice between sheet metal and tile, and it is worth saying plainly that asphalt shingles, the default across North America, are uncommon here.

Common siding questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
