Top Decking related questions
In the United States, the cost of decking can go from $1,100 to $19,000. The total price usually considers the deck’s size and shape, project scope, your location, and labor fee.
You can also check out the cost guide for more specific decking requests, like for composite decking ($5,000 to $10,000) and garden decking ($4,000 to $12,000).
This job can take at least a day to five days at the maximum. Generally, the duration depends on the size of the decking and the complexity of your task. If your site is on soft ground, your fitter will have to lay down some concrete pads and allow them to dry, which can take a day or two, depending on ambient temperatures. Weather is also a factor; expect this to take more time during less than fair weather.
It is not advisable to caulk a deck, because the caulk is not stable and won’t stain to match the rest of your deck. Eventually, the caulk will break out and worsen the situation. Instead, it's best to sand around any cracks or voids, turn the boards over, or replace them entirely. When in doubt, consult a deck specialist or find a handyperson near you.
It’s possible to install a deck on your own as long as you have the right tools, materials, and knowledge. Sure, it won’t be perfect, and it may take longer, but if a DIY deck is your goal, your willpower and elbow grease can sustain you. But in case you change your mind after researching about the decking installation process, of course it’s ideal to leave the task to an expert. Just head to Airtasker to find reliable deck installers near you.
No. You might be tempted because of cost-saving purposes, but this could actually push you to spend more money. Laying a new deck over an old one reduces the durability and lifespan of the entire structure. The planks and joists can have tiny differences in measurements that could create spaces to trap water in, causing algae, mold, and wood rot to set in. It can become a potential safety hazard as well.
It depends on your preference and how much you’re willing to pay. Wood decking is less costly and easier to stain and repair, but more challenging to maintain. Meanwhile, composite decking is more expensive, but its durability, ease of maintenance, and appeal of mimicking authentic timber can make up for the cost.
Yes, decking boards should have gaps that are 1⁄8- to 1⁄4-inch wide. These gaps allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Without the proper spacing between boards, your deck may get damaged. You can get more tips on building a deck in this guide. If you'd like to make sure that your deck will have an adequate gap width, consider hiring a top-rated decking specialist near you. Just tap the "Post a task" button to get started on your decking project.
Injecting waterproof resin glue and using clamps can help fix up cracks in your deck. Deck builders may also recommend applying a sealer once a year to protect all the surfaces of your deck better. And while most builders don't advise using caulk to fill in gaps on your decking board, some may be fine with applying colored caulk. To better weigh the options when it comes to repairing a cracked deck, consult your decking specialist.

What can you get from decking builders?
You don’t need to drive long hours or spend some money outside just to catch a breathtaking view of nature. With proper decking, you can comfortably watch the sunset while your loved ones enjoy the spacious area.
Booking a decking service on Airtasker means getting connected with contractors, builders, designers, or repair specialists who are knowledgeable enough to take care of your request. From purchasing required materials to making sure you’re satisfied with the final output, Taskers can deal with the complexity of the job. Don’t forget to align with them regarding your expectations, of course.
Finally booking a deck installation service near you? Take a look at this overview of tasks:
Deck installation
The mission of Taskers specializing in decking installation? Make your space more versatile. They begin with planning of the layout by visualizing 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 aluminum. 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 utilize steel bracket ties for support and an electric planer to keep the boards flush.
When the main frame is done, 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 to be customized and enjoyed.
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
Are cracks, splinters, or a grayish hue on your deck bothering you? Your Tasker can deal with this dilemma. Specialists also take a look 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 for a deck check-up.
For more home upgrades, hire skilled Taskers in house painting, furniture assembly, flooring, gate installation, roofing, and more.
