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.

Tempe NSW, Australia

19th Dec 2025

We are seeking to have our back deck sanded by an experienced person with the necessary equipment, in preparation for washing/oiling (which we will take care of). Deck is spotted gum and 6-7 years old, never been sanded. Two levels with one step in between. Upper level: 5.5m x 3.5m (19 sqm) plus side entry (2.5m x 1m). Lower level: 3.5m x 2.5m (8.75 sqm). Plus edges. Step is 34cm (W) x 57cm (L). We will remove all plants and furniture off the deck except for a heavy chest and bench seat we’ll need a hand with moving. Condition of timber varies, some parts have been covered by furniture so in good condition, while other parts are weathered and/or affected by damp and will need more attention. Please see pics. We expect it shouldn’t take more than one day. Suitable days are limited to: Wed 31 Dec, Thur 1 Jan, Fri 2 Jan, Sat 3 Jan, Mon 5 Jan, Tue 6 Jan, or Wed 7 Jan.

Rodent proof my deck

$1,000

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

26th Aug 2025

I've got a rodent problem. They seem to have got access to the house. I believe it's via the deck. The task is to rodent proof my deck and block any access to the house. This includes putting in hardware wire to the deck to block access. The deck is approximately 5m by 4m. I will also need help investigating how they are getting into the house. Most likely via a piping that hasn't been sealed.

Chris is a legend. Very good communication and clear and honest recommendations. Chris helped rodent proof our home. He was very thorough in his assessment and was onsite doing lots of work to ensure there is complete protection. Really appreciate the work. Thanks

Minor fix to my timber deck?

$350

Surry Hills NSW, Australia

10th May 2024

One of the crossbeams under my deck has rotted away, so a couple of the top slats are bouncy when you walk on them. It is sitting directly on a concrete slab, so there's no safety issue or anything. I reckon to fix it, it'll require pulling up the slats, replacing the crossbeam underneath, doing some fiddling to get the height right, and then nailing the slats back down. I would prefer if you can supply the materials, but if you need, I could get a new wooden beam. In the photo you can see where the top slats are dipping down because the crossbeam isn't holding them up from underneath.

Redfern NSW, Australia

18th Oct 2024

We have a small Blackbutt timber courtyard deck that needs to be replaced, it’s 3.5m x 3.5m (13sqm) and nailed to a treated pine frame. When first installed we had the area ground levelled compacted, plastic sheets were placed over the ground and a treated pine frame was built before the Bluckbutt timber was nailed on top. The first job was very well finished by a friend. In the last photo you can see there is a small section where a hatch can be lifted to access a sump drain below. We would like both the Bluckbutt timber and the treated pine frame to be replaced. We are replacing exactly as it currently is (Same dimensions, Same timber). We are interested in quotes for installation only.

Very good work. Polite and friendly. Excellent job
