Deck builder in Carina
Carina's generous blocks give a deck room to breathe, something most of the inner east can only envy.
What we do
Decks built to last.
A deck starts with a conversation, not a brochure. Ben Bernard quotes every job himself: he walks your block, measures up, and talks through what will actually work on your home before a price goes on paper. Then he and the crew build it. One point of contact from quote to handover, a QBCC licensed build, and a 5.0 star Google record across 39 reviews standing behind the work.
Space changes what a deck can be. On Carina's bigger east-side blocks a deck does not have to hug the back door: there is room for a wide family platform, a freestanding deck by the garden, or a full outdoor room with a roof over part of it. Post-war homes here usually have sound frames to tie into, and where they do not, we set the deck on its own footings. We size boards, spans and stairs for family traffic, engineered to code.

- Rebuilds and extensions of existing decks
- Engineered subframes for sloped blocks
- Balustrades, stairs and handrails off the deck
- Decks off Queenslanders and post-war homes

Keaton L.“Ben and the team are consistently at the top of their game. From quoting to execution, couldn’t ask for a more professional service. Ben takes everything that he does with incredible discipline and care ensuring a quality product. Anywhere from a small odd job, to large scale renovation, Bernard Building will sort it. I never have any concern recommending Ben and his team to my clients, and trusting them to deliver on my behalf and produce the best possible outcome without any headaches. I don’t get any $$$ kickbacks for referrals and, wouldn’t want any either, because this bloke offers a great service and deserves every penny he makes! It’s faultless service from start to finish, hard to come by in the building industry. I’d give 6 stars if I could. Thanks for all of your hard work Ben xx”

Straight answers
Before you call.
The part of a deck you never see decides how long it lasts. We set out footings and subframe to suit the block, use structural grade posts and bearers, and fix boards with stainless or coated fasteners that shrug off Queensland humidity. Hardwood or composite on top, the same rule underneath: get the structure right and the boards look after themselves.
Should I choose timber or composite decking?
The honest answer depends on your home and how much upkeep you want. Hardwood like spotted gum looks the part on a Queenslander and takes re-oiling every year or two. Composite costs more up front, needs less looking after, and suits full sun. Ben talks through both at the quote so you can weigh the options side by side.
Do you rebuild or extend existing decks?
Yes. Often the boards are gone but the structure is sound, or the other way round. We assess what is worth keeping, replace what is not, and can extend an existing deck if the subframe and footings can carry it. If a full rebuild makes more sense than a patch up, we will say so at the quote.
Which areas do you cover?
We serve 36 suburbs across Brisbane. Our core turf is The Gap, Ashgrove, Bardon and Kedron, and we work across the inner north, west, east and south, from Paddington and Red Hill through to Bulimba, Yeronga and Upper Mount Gravatt. If you are close to any of those, call Ben and he will confirm.
