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.

Quote to replace damaged clear rear deck roof panels

$5

Belmont North, New South Wales

19th May 2025

Quote to supply and replace damaged rear deck roof panels. After some big hail damage, decided to leave it as had planned by now to have started extensions/new build, but plans have been put off for a few more years and now need to replace. Would like the clear damaged panels replaced with solid/not clear panels (as far as can tell, the existing solid panels are fine, only clear ones took the beating). Unable to get on roof to measure so may need to attend in person to quote for clearer scope of work and dimensions. As deck will be eventually pulled down, functional replacement needed only to have cover from elements again/deck stops getting saturated when rains heavy. Bunnings only 5 minutes drive away for easy procurement of materials if needed. Job budget is listed so low only in order to create listing: will be changed to reflect job once quote has been made and accepted. Thank you for considering this job.

Prompt and polite communication, flexible with times and dates to quote, attended on time, well presented and spoken, experienced and knowledgeable roofer, fair and reasonable and honest quotes. Highly recommend Will and would not hesitate to use his services again. Thank you!

Floor sanding of an outdoor deck

$600

Adamstown, New South Wales

10th May 2025

I need the decking boards on our deck to be sanded to remove all previous stains/colour so that I can put a fresh coat of oil down. Total deck size is 5740x4750, which is split into an upper (about two thirds) and lower (about one third) deck. The lower deck is one step down. This means the vertical sides of the deck need to be sanded too. There is currently furniture on the deck however I will move everything off the deck before job commencement. Happy to answer any questions.

Quality work and good communication to navigate bad weather.
