ABOUT CEDR
A cedar-focused company built for Wānaka homes.
CEDR LIMITED is a separate specialist cedar and exterior timber care company founded by Nick Bourke. It draws on his and the team's relevant trade experience, including work completed through Central Otago Painters, while CEDR contracts, records and responsibilities remain separate.
Our position
Specialist, practical, inspection-led.
Cedar deserves more than a generic paint-system mindset. It needs careful preparation, compatible products, and maintenance planning that suits the timber and the exposure of the home.
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.
Protect
We aim for a result that looks refined and stands up to the climate.
