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.

Zetland NSW 2017, Australia

12th Nov 2024

I want a deck built on top of new level pavers (floating deck). Would prefer composite wood. Need decking supplies and tools to be sourced and provided. As well as installation. It’s only a deck no hand rails, steps or pergolas etc. it will be in a T-shape with the longest side being about 7m and the deepest part about 4m. The top of the T will be about 2m deep. I estimate the total area to be about 27sqm. I need this job done in advance of family arriving on 16th Dec. The address is an oversized unit in Zetland but large elevators give level access to the unit and there is available parking for large trucks and vans to enable delivery of materials. I don’t have particular ideas of cost so open to estimates. Tried my best to add photos of the area (outlined in red in the pics).

I would like my metal 10 x 6m existing fence covered in this screening from Bunnings. The metal fence is in good condition and the back is wood (you would just need to fix it to it).I will buy it in panels to make it quicker. I need it done before Wednesday (having said that i havent ordered the panels yet so might be dependent on that). There is a grass bamboo covering on the fence that will need to be removed. I am happy to pay the rubbish removal - ypubwould just need tobstack it outside for collection. I also have some concrete on the ground that needs removing as a shed is going over the top - jack hammer i guess. I will pay for the materials. I have more work that needs doing if you are handy just starting here.
