Out of all the people who have done work at our property, the tenants have been most satisfied with Matthew's work. He was professional, communicative, diligent, hard working and friendly to work with. Additionally, there was a small miscommunication from my end, yet he was very understanding and accommodating. He applied a protective coat to our decking as well as some small work around the house. We would definitely use him again!

What can you get from decking builders?

Ready to book that decking service request for some added oomph to your home? Get the opportunity to coordinate with contractors, builders, designers, or repair specialists who are knowledgeable enough to address your concerns. From purchasing required materials to making sure you’re satisfied with the final output, these Taskers can help you get peace of mind over dealing with a multilayered process. All you need is to align with them about your expectations.


Feel free to explore this clearer overview on what comes with booking a decking expert on Airtasker:


Deck installation

Taskers who are focused on the craft of decking installation are tasked to make your space more flexible. This starts with the planning of 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.


The support posts or caissons come next. Then, 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. 


Deck repair

Eventually, the presence of cracks, splinters, or a greyish hue on your deck will get bothersome. Luckily, your hired Tasker can take this burden off your shoulders. Specialists 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 at its best condition.


The repair process can be simple (like securing loose posts) or complex (preventing a collapsed deck). Just consult your Tasker if you want to thoroughly check your deck’s current state.


In the mood to make more home upgrades? You can hire skilled Taskers in house painting, gardeningflooring, gate installation, roofing, and more.
