What we build
Decks, repairs, composite and covered outdoor rooms.
Deck repairs & restoration
Most of the decks we're called to look at aren't finished — they're failing quietly underneath. We assess honestly, tell you what can be saved, and rebuild only what needs rebuilding.
Composite decking
Composite suits owners who want the look without the annual oiling. Installed properly — correct gapping, ventilation and subframe spans — it stays flat and holds colour for decades.
Pool decks
A deck around a pool has to satisfy the barrier rules, drain properly and stay comfortable underfoot wet. That's three constraints most decks don't have.
Pergolas & covered decks
A covered deck turns a fine-weather space into one you use year round. The difference between a good one and a bolted-on one is how it meets the existing roof.
The approach
Quality is decided long before the decking goes down.
Most of what separates a deck that lasts from one that doesn't is invisible once it's finished — bearer spans, post fixings, drainage, ventilation, the way flashings meet the house. That's where we spend our attention.
We work with Australian hardwoods and quality composites, fixed with concealed systems where the detail calls for it. One crew, one job at a time, licensed and insured under NSW contractor licence 364031C.
