Clean, sand and re-stain timber decks (front entry + alfresco)

$500

Marsden Park NSW, Australia

17th Oct 2026

Note: this is a re-stain, not a paint job. I want a penetrating deck stain or oil that shows the timber grain, not a solid paint coating. Hi, I'm looking for an experienced deck finisher to restore two timber decks at my home in [suburb]. Areas: • Front entry/porch deck: about 3.94m deep x 4.6m, with a picture-frame border and a step edge • Alfresco deck: about 4.3 x 5.9m Current condition: The decks have a dark brown finish that has worn and faded in high-traffic areas, and some boards are weathered. Photos attached. Scope I'm after: • Clean the decks properly (deck cleaner or pressure wash) • Sand back to an even surface • Apply 2–3 coats of a quality exterior decking oil or stain in a [dark brown / similar colour to current] finish • Protect the surrounding walls, door threshold and rendered planters • Leave the site clean Please include in your offer: • Whether your price includes materials, and which product you'd use • Whether you recommend 2 or 3 coats and why, and how long the job will take, including drying time • Photos of similar deck jobs you've done • Any repairs you notice are needed, such as loose or damaged boards Timing: Flexible, ideally within 2–3 weeks, weather permitting.

Install Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Wire Trellis onto Hebel Wall

$200

Marsden Park NSW 2765, Australia

16th Oct 2026

I need an experienced handyman or trade professional to install a wire trellis system onto an exterior Hebel wall for two heavy climbing roses. Because this is a Hebel wall, you MUST have experience drilling into Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). You will need to bring a standard drill with a metal/HSS bit and strictly use rotation-only mode (NO hammer action) so the Hebel panels do not blow out or crack. The Job Involves: • Mapping out a vertical/horizontal grid (approx. 4-5 horizontal wire lines spaced 40-50cm apart). • Keeping drill holes safely away from external corners and panel joints. • Cleaning out the holes, sealing them against moisture, and installing heavy-duty Hebel-specific nylon wall anchors (e.g., Ramset RamPlugs). • Running 2mm-3mm stainless steel wire cables and tensioning them with turnbuckles. The installation area will be about 1.8 to 2.4 metres high and 2.4 to 3.6 metres wide. Please include the cost of heavy-duty Hebel plugs, stainless steel vine eyes, turnbuckles + wire in your offer. Must have your own tools, HSS drill bits, and specific experience working with Hebel walls please. Flexible with date/time

Sand, stain and coat a section of wooden flooring to match colour

$750

Tempe NSW 2044, Australia

14th Aug 2026

We've recently moved into a house where one section of wooden floorboards is coloured differently to the nearby sections. We would like that section of floor restained so that it better matches the rest of the house. We know it likely won't be possibly to perfectly match the colour - that's fine, we just want the difference to be less obvious. The area measures approximately 3.5m x 3.5m. We don't know what wood the floorboards are made of, nor what stains or products have been used. The house is from around 1900. We are seeking someone to: - Sand that area of floor back, - Stain the floorboards to better match the rest of the house, and - Apply a new topcoat. We will pay for the stain and top coat - but would appreciate your expertise to choose and purchase the right products to use, particularly to best match the colour. The house is currently empty so there's no furniture etc to work around. We will have some people painting the house at the same time but will make sure they are not in your way. Work can be carried out any time between Sat 15 Aug to Thu 20 Aug. There's free street parking outside and it's usually not difficult to find a spot. We're just off Princes Highway, near Tempe and Sydenham stations. Feel free to ask any questions.

Phil did a great job with our flooring work. The job was complete within a couple of days of acceptance and we were very happy with the results.
