Deck Questions, Answered

What areas do you build decks in?

We build right across Sydney, including the Sutherland Shire (Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda), Manly and the Hawkesbury (Richmond, Windsor, Kurrajong). Tell us your suburb when you enquire and we will confirm we cover you.

What decking materials do you use?

Timber, merbau, spotted gum and other hardwoods, and Eva-Last composite. We will talk through which suits your site, your budget and how much maintenance you want.

Can you build on a sloping or elevated block?

Yes. Steep blocks, split levels and elevated decks are a large part of what we do, with footings, subframes and balustrades engineered for your site rather than adapted from a standard plan.

Do you build pool decks?

Yes. Composite and hardwood pool surrounds that handle water, sun and bare feet, with clean edging, hidden fixings and drainage planned from the start.

Will I see the design before you start?

Yes. We measure on site and design your deck in 3D so you can see exactly what you are getting before a single board is cut.

How much will my deck cost?

Every deck is priced after a site visit, because the block, the height, the materials and the access all change the number. You get transparent pricing before work starts, with no guesswork.

What warranty do you offer?

Eva-Last composite decking comes with a 25 to 50 year warranty, depending on the range you choose. We will take you through the options when we design your deck.

How long does a build take?

Most builds take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the size of the job. We will give you a timeframe with your quote.

Do you handle council or CDC approval?

We do not lodge approvals ourselves, but we can help you through the process so you know what your project needs before we start.

Are you licensed?

Yes. We are licensed builders, NSW contractor licence number 454462C.
