Decking Services
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.

Build 1–2 Deck Platforms for Glamping Setup (5m x 5m each)
$5,000
Sawyers Gully NSW, Australia
10th Jul 2025
Looking for a deck builder or carpenter to construct 1–2 freestanding 5m x 5m platforms for bell tents on a glamping site. Site is in the Hunter Valley and ready to go. Decks will be low profile using TuffBlocks, treated pine framing, and Merbau decking (or other materials if quicker/more cost-effective). No rails, just clean, flat platforms. I can help on the day, supply materials (or we can discuss your pricing), and I’ll handle the oiling and clean-up after. I’ve also prepped the ground and will lay road base before the build. ⸻ Key Points: • Aim is to keep it around $5k per deck (labour + materials) • Open to suggestions on faster install options • Can send photos or line up a site visit • Ready to start ASAP ⸻ Let me know if you’re interested and available. Happy to chat further or jump on a quick call.


I walked into this project feeling hesitant and unsure. I walked away feeling proud and relieved—like someone had my back and actually delivered what they promised. If you’re sitting on the fence about hiring Jack—just do it. He made the whole process easy and the result speaks for itself.

Repair Rotting Verandah Posts and Decking
$1,000
Maitland NSW, Australia
27th Oct 2023
Looking for an experienced tradesperson to give my front verandah a bit of TLC, salvaging what they can and replacing what is needed. Details: 2.1m x 10.m front verandah with extensive woodrot in decking and joists around the edges, middle majority of deck still OK. 4x posts are 95mmx95mm and around 2.5m tall, all have rotting in the lower 2-3cm where it meets the deck. Open to options on repair or replacing - looking to be cost effective. I'm no species expert but timber looks like some kind of pine with a tongue and groove, around 100mmx20mm. Looking to match as close as possible - but will probably just paint it so doesn't have to be exact. Not sure on budget but happy to discuss further. Can do direct transaction- pls send number in photo!
