Liam did a great job repairing my garden bed wooden retaining wall and rotten wooden decking steps. He took the measurements, sourced the materials and got it all wrapped up in a day. Super easy to communicate with despite me being based overseas, including sharing pics of the finished results. I was happy to pay a slight premium for a quick turnaround. Would recommend and use 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, gardening, flooring, gate installation, roofing, and more.

I can’t recommend Aslidin highly enough. From start to finish, he was polite, professional, and incredibly communicative. He did an amazing job on my deck.. Nothing was too much trouble, he even popped out to get the parts. What impressed me even more was his work ethic. It was an extremely hot day, but he worked right through the heat without complaint. The quality of his workmanship was excellent, and the finished result looks fantastic.

Garden decking repair Door repair with minor touch Repaint Basic other minor things before new tenants move in Exact details as requested are as follows: Happy to negotiate the price further. 1. Decking in garden - floorboards are wobbly/sticking up, wood is rotting in some places. 2. The wood on the bifold doors from the 2nd bedroom/office could do with treating to prevent decay. 3. There is some mould in the bathroom above the shower and window. 4. The dishwasher cabinet cover in the kitchen is peeling off. 5. The front bedroom windows have some paint stains and could do with some attention. There's also one window that is not frosted though I think we should be able to sort that ourselves. 6. The gate in the garden could do with a lock that can be accessed from both sides. Also the wood on the gate is decaying so may be worth considering replacing the gate. 7. The planter outside has a panel sticking out. - Due date: Flexible
