Learn about Deck Builders

ArchiPro lists Australian deck builders for residential and commercial outdoor projects. These professionals design and construct decks for relaxing, dining, entertaining and linking indoor and outdoor spaces, as part of a wider network of deck, patio and shelter professionals involved in planning and constructing outdoor areas.

Behind every beautiful deck is a talented deck builder. As decks are a highly visible feature of most homes it’s important to find a builder who takes into account both the style and the practicality of your deck. ArchiPro features only the best deck builders in Australia who look to do exactly that for homeowners across the country.

Deck construction

Decks are hugely popular in Australia as they allow you to make the most of the beautiful outdoors. Professionals consider design, functionality and indoor–outdoor flow. Custom deck builders also consider how the deck’s layout connects with the home and outdoor space.

Floating deck construction

A floating deck is not attached to the home like a regular deck. Instead, it’s a low platform built anywhere in a garden.

Deck repair

As decks are exposed to harsh outdoor conditions in Australia, it’s important to invest in decking repair professionals who can restore your deck when damage occurs.

Deck restoration

If your home has an old, worn deck, chances are it’s not particularly safe or practical. Deck restoration experts can restore your deck to brand-new condition.

The advantages of hiring skilled deck builders

The advantages of hiring skilled deck builders in Australia can’t be overstated. With the right professionals, an overwhelming do-it-yourself project can be transformed into a simple job with high-quality results. Deck builders will work closely with decking suppliers to recommend the best styles and materials for your project and collaborate with your architect to bring the best out of your home. Additionally, they ensure your deck is linear, polished and highly functional, contributing to the important indoor–outdoor flow. This also elevates your deck’s safety as well as its longevity.

How to choose the best deck builders for your project

If you’re wanting to build a deck from scratch, you’ll need to consider three important factors: style, size and materials. Some builders will have more experience in particular materials than others-for example, timber decking builders are best suited for any timber decking project as you might expect. Floating deck builders are experts in detached decks and work with your garden space to elevate your outdoor lifestyle. By focusing on the strengths and speciality of these deck builders, you can find one that suits the type and style of deck you’re looking for. Composite deck builders can advise on how composite decking suits the intended style and use of a deck.

Before beginning a building project, ask your professionals the following questions:

  • How long have you been building decks in Australia?
  • Does your team have the necessary experience to bring my vision to life?
  • What resources and supplies will you require for this project?
  • How will I be involved in the process?
  • How long do you think this project will take?
  • What are the projected costs?

FAQs

Will I need a government licence to build a deck?

A deck does not require any licensing or permits before being built in Australia. This means that anyone with the right skill set can complete a deck building project. However, keep in mind that structures over 1.5 metres tall require council consent, and can be tricky to construct without the necessary tools.

Does a deck need a slope?

A deck requires a slight slope for adequate drainage to prevent water from accumulating. This moisture can rot any wood, causing a safety hazard, which would ultimately require costly repairs in the long run. Slopes aren’t necessary for decks with conventional gaps between the boards.

Does a deck need to be replaced often?

A properly installed deck can last between 15 and 40 years in Australia, depending on the materials and maintenance routine. Decks don’t need to be replaced often as long as they’re taken care of over the years. This includes cleaning and consistent repair. When the deck shows signs of rot or rusted fittings, or if you discover mould, it’s time to replace your deck.
