Good job! Mario worked hard over three days to sand and repair my pool decking. Was not an easy job as the boards were in a bad state of repair and there was quite a lot of fencing involved as well. The fences were taken down so they could be properly sanded Mario used the right combination of sanding equipment to do a professional job. Highly recommended

What can you get from decking builders?
Booking a decking service through Airtasker means getting connected with contractors, builders, designers, or repair specialists who are ready to work according to your request. From purchasing required materials to making sure you’re satisfied with the final output, Taskers will take care of the intricate process—just clearly communicate with them on your needs.
Here’s an overview of the tasks you can expect when hiring a specialist:
Deck installation
Taskers proficient in the art of decking installation should boost the pleasant energy in your home. The first step is planning the layout by visualising the edges and midpoint of the deck, plus plotting the support posts. By laying weed control fabric and gravel or placing concrete slabs, they start covering the ground. The specialist will place a substructure made of steel, timber, or aluminium. Some installers may add extra moisture protection using materials like butyl tape.
Next come the support posts or caissons. The Tasker cuts the boards and lays them out. Installers usually utilise steel bracket ties for support and an electric planer to keep the boards flush.
After finishing this main frame of the deck, the main boards and decking material are installed. The deck installation specialist maintains 1⁄4” gaps between the boards to allow the wood to expand and contract depending on the weather. Lastly, they bolt the wood planks to the support posts using the anchor brackets. They’ll nail down the perimeter, inspect the entire deck, then let you check. And just like that, your deck is ready for you to furnish, decorate, and enjoy.
Note: If you haven’t secured a permit for the deck construction, you can request your Tasker to do this for you.
Deck staining and sealing
Built a new deck but have yet to get it stained and sealed? Need to give your expansive deck its yearly application of deck sealer? Deck installers near you can do the job.
Specialists can prepare the surfaces, apply the stain, and offer tips on maintaining its condition. If it’s a sealing job, it will consist of cleaning, power-washing, and sanding, followed by one to two coats of sealant.
Tip: If you want to have home repainting done while you’re at it, you can hire a house painter on Airtasker.
Deck repair
Spotted cracks, splinters, or a greyish hue on your deck? Your hired expert can address those concerns. They can also check for rotting wood, inspect the ledger (the part attached to your house), as well as the joists, beams, and railings, to make sure everything is in top condition.
Repairing can also mean as simple as securing loose posts, or as complex as preventing a collapsed deck. If unsure, consult your Tasker about your deck’s condition.
If you want to continue elevating your home, you have the option to hire skilled Taskers in gardening, flooring, gate installation, roofing, and more.

$300
Brighton East VIC, Australia

Experienced person to clean (ideally with your own high pressure hose) and oil 30sqm of merbau decking on our rooftop (5mx6m). I believe 24 hrs is needed after the cleaning so would have to come back to oil. It hasn’t been done for 2 years so there is patchy fading. See photos. Must have experience in doing this. I can purchase the decking oil and cleaning agent but don’t have any other tools for the job. Thanks Curtis

Our existing deck is sagging in some areas and is about 600-900mm elevated off the ground. The frame will need to be looked at and reinforced or sections/footings replaced if necessary. I will provide the new decking boards. Existing boards can be lifted and stockpiled in the yard and I will dispose of them

2x deck repairs
$200
Carrum VIC, Australia
15th Jun 2024
I have videos of both decks which explains it more clearly, can send this if needed (airbnb doesn’t allow videos). Two deck repairs: First one is to make some small repairs to the timber supports under this small deck in the front of house. A few of the decking boards have sunk and I believe the timber supports underneath needs to be adjusted. The photo with the arrows shows the area needing fixing. Boards are ecoboards and snap-loc clips are used. I have new decking board and snap-loc clips that can be used. Second one is to add some additional framework to the back deck to fill in where there were plant pots previously. Again I have the deck boards and clips ready to go. Videos explain it better, I can send these.
Quick work, great comms

Hello! We want to install a deck out the back of our place. We bought timber (see pic of decking we dismantled). My husband was going to build himself but we have 3 small kids and I just don’t know when he’ll find the time. I’ve attached pic of rough dimensions too!
I highly recommend James. He provided great communication up until the job day. On the day he arrived on time, he and his team were friendly and very professional. They did a fantastic job at building our new deck!
