Deck building in Brisbane

New deck installation, rebuilds and extensions in hardwood or composite. Set out properly, built for Queensland weather, and finished so the details hold up.

What it covers

The deck starts under the boards.

A deck lives or dies on its subframe. As deck builders working across Brisbane, we set out footings, posts and joists straight and square before a single board goes down, then work with you on the layout, the timber and the finish so the deck fits the house and the way you want to use it.

  • New decks in hardwood or composite
  • Rebuilds and extensions of existing decks
  • Footings, subframes and set-out
  • Balustrades and handrails
  • Pergolas and roofed deck areas

Decks and stairs often get built as one job. That work is covered under external stairs, and if your existing deck just needs boards or a joist replaced, see carpentry repairs.

Straight answers

Deck questions we get asked.

Hardwood or composite?

We build both. Hardwood looks and ages like timber should but wants regular care. Composite costs more up front and asks less of you afterwards. Ben talks through both against your budget and the site when he quotes, with no push either way.

Does a new deck need building approval?

Some do, some do not. In Queensland it comes down to the deck's size, its height off the ground and where it sits on the block. Raise it with Ben at the walk-through and you will know what your job needs before anything starts.

Can you rebuild or extend an existing deck?

Yes. We check what is under the boards first, because a deck is only worth extending if the subframe is sound. If it is, we build on it. If it is not, we tell you straight and quote what it actually takes.

What state is the yard left in?

Clean. A tidy site comes up in our Google reviews more than almost anything else, and it is part of how the crew works every day, not just at handover.
