Deck builder in St Lucia
St Lucia's mid-century and modern homes sit in deep greenery, and a deck is how you actually live in it.
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.
Mid-century St Lucia homes bring a different set of decisions to the usual Brisbane deck. Cleaner rooflines and lower floor levels suit wide, low platforms rather than high verandah-style decks, and modern homes often want the boards running flush to bifold doors with no step at all. We detail those thresholds carefully so water stays out. Under the leaf canopy, shade keeps timber wetter for longer, so board spacing and subframe ventilation get sized for it.

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.
