Questions about this job
How much do deck repairs cost?
Labour starts from $139, including GST. Parts and materials are additional unless stated otherwise. Pricing can be affected by the deck size and number of boards to replace, the condition of the joists and bearers underneath, timber type and matching, and access, height and weather. A starting price is not a fixed quote; the accepted quote sets the scope.
Can you replace rotten or split deck boards?
Yes. Split, rotten or damaged boards can be replaced, and loose boards refixed with popped nails or screws replaced. If the frame underneath may be rotten, we will explain what needs checking first.
Can you match my existing deck boards?
We try to match the timber and size, but a match is not guaranteed. Older or weathered boards may look different until the deck is oiled or weathers in.
Do you clean and oil decks?
Yes. Cleaning before oiling, and oiling or staining deck timber, are included.
Do you repair raised deck structures?
Structural repairs to raised decks beyond minor fixes are not included, and a localised repair does not certify the whole deck structure. New decks needing permits and termite treatment are also outside this service.
