Caring for your villa or timber home with expert maintenance


At Podium Builders, we understand that your home is more than just a building—it’s a piece of your history and comfort. Our team specialises in the careful upkeep of villa-style homes and timber houses, using a sympathetic approach that protects both the character and value of your property. New Zealand’s climate can be tough on timber, but with regular maintenance like repainting every 7–10 years and routine washing to remove mould, mildew, and dirt, you can extend the life of your home’s exterior. We also check subfloors and roof spaces to ensure proper ventilation, which is crucial for preventing moisture build-up.
When it comes to timber window repairs or timber door repair, we address common issues such as rot, paint failure, and movement.

When it comes to timber window or door repairs, we address common issues such as rot, paint failure, and movement

Our process includes:
  • Identifying the extent of damage — whether superficial or structural
  • Replacing rotten sections with treated, matching timber for authentic restoration
  • Sealing and repainting to guard against future problems
With Podium Builders, you can trust that every detail, from villa window repair to comprehensive exterior care, is handled with the respect and expertise your home deserves.

Deck repairs and maintenance for safe, beautiful outdoor spaces


Your deck is the heart of outdoor living, and our deck repairs service ensures it remains safe, functional, and attractive year-round. As experienced deck builders, we tackle everything from rotting timber and loose boards to faded surfaces and wobbly railings. Regular maintenance, like removing mould and resealing every 1–2 years, protects your deck from moisture and UV damage.
Our team will:
  1. Replace damaged or rotting boards
  2. Reinforce or repair stairs and railings
  3. Re-level sagging areas for a smooth, even surface
  4. Upgrade fasteners to stainless or galvanised versions to prevent future corrosion
By choosing Podium Builders for your deck repairs, you’re investing in a space that’s not only inviting but also built to last in New Zealand’s ever-changing weather.

Fence repairs and maintenance for security and kerb appeal


Fences are essential for privacy, security, and enhancing your property’s street appeal. Our fence repairs service addresses issues like leaning sections, rotting posts, and broken palings—problems that, if left unattended, can compromise both safety and appearance. We recommend repainting or re-staining every 3–5 years and regular cleaning to keep your fence looking its best.
Our approach includes:
  • Replacing damaged or rotted palings and rails
  • Re-setting posts in concrete or replacing them if necessary
  • Repairing gate hinges and latches for smooth operation
With Podium Builders, you’ll benefit from a fence that not only withstands the elements but also complements your home’s style.

Roof and leak repairs to protect your home’s structure


Leaks, no matter how small, can quickly lead to serious structural issues. Our team is skilled at identifying and fixing leaks around flashings, chimneys, skylights, and gutters. We also replace damaged roofing materials—be it corrugated iron, tiles, or shingles—and address blocked or leaking gutters to prevent water from entering walls or foundations.
Our comprehensive service includes:
  • Thorough inspections to find the source of leaks
  • Replacing or repairing damaged roof sections and flashings
  • Internal repairs for water-stained or sagging ceilings
By choosing Podium Builders, you protect your investment and ensure your home remains dry and sound for years to come.
