ABOUT CEDR
A cedar-focused company built for Wānaka homes.
CEDR is a specialist cedar and exterior timber care company that was created to give timber the dedicated preparation, product choice, and maintenance thinking that it deserves. The CEDR team has been maintaining cedar homes in the Southern Lakes region for over 10 years, and brings all of their expertise to this new endeavor.
Our position
Specialist, practical, inspection-led.
Recommendations consider the timber condition, exposure, preparation needs, compatible products, and an inspection-led maintenance pathway.
CEDR focuses on cedar staining, restoration, on-site new-build protection, re-coating, and broader exterior timber care around Wānaka and Queenstown Lakes.
What CEDR is intended to stand for
- Clear finish choices without overcomplicating the process.
- Honest guidance on what timber needs now and later.
- Local thinking for Wanaka conditions.
- Respect for architectural homes, outdoor spaces, and natural materials.
How we work
Detail before finish.
Assess
We consider timber condition, previous coatings, and the practical path forward.
Prepare
The finish is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Apply
We plan application around the agreed system, site conditions and exterior details.
