SYDNEY - AussieJournal -- Sydney's suburban streets are undergoing a dramatic facelift as more homeowners swap tired red brick facades for contemporary timber cladding, chasing both style and skyrocketing home values. CGB Carpentry, a leading exterior renovation specialist based on Sydney's Northern Beaches, today revealed that timber cladding upgrades are helping clients tap into the city's booming "modern coastal" property trend.

Once prized for their durability, red brick homes are increasingly seen as dated, with modern buyers preferring light-coloured cladding, Hamptons-style facades, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. "Homeowners are realising that a facade transformation can completely reposition their property in the market," said Chris Blanch, Director of CGB Carpentry. "Timber cladding brings that fresh, coastal feel buyers now expect — and it's directly tied to higher sale prices."

Recent analysis shows external improvements like cladding, landscaping, and alfresco spaces can boost home values by up to 12.4%. As Sydney's real estate market remains fiercely competitive, facade upgrades offer a high-return renovation option. "In the Northern Beaches, it's no longer enough to have a neat brick home," said Blanch. "Buyers want lifestyle, and they're willing to pay a premium for a property that looks and feels like a coastal retreat."

CGB Carpentry has seen a surge in demand for cladding projects, particularly among homeowners looking to modernise older brick houses before sale. "A smartly clad exterior not only adds street appeal but often attracts more buyers at inspection, leading to stronger auction results," Blanch added.

The shift away from brick aligns with broader trends in Australian construction. Lightweight cladding systems are gaining popularity, offering design flexibility, energy efficiency, and low maintenance compared to traditional materials. With Sydney's love of outdoor living spaces, homes that blend natural textures, open-air entertaining areas, and coastal finishes are commanding the attention — and wallets — of today's buyers.
