From compact entry decks and pool surrounds to larger entertaining areas, we plan each deck around the property, available space and the way you want to use the area.

Overview

Deck Builder and repair for homes across the Sunshine Coast.

From compact entry decks and pool surrounds to larger entertaining areas, we plan each deck around the property, available space and the way you want to use the area.

Careful attention is given to the structure underneath, the materials on top and the details that help an outdoor deck perform in Queensland sun, rain, humidity and coastal conditions.

The surface is only part of the build

Decking boards may be the part you see every day, but the performance of a deck depends heavily on the structure supporting them.

The subframe, footings, drainage, ventilation, fixings and connections all affect how solid the deck feels and how well it performs over time.

  • Engineered subframes sized for span, load and ground slope
  • Concealed, corrosion-rated fixings for a clean surface
  • Your choice of hardwood or low-maintenance composite
  • Coatings and finishes suited to full Queensland sun

What we build

Decking, however you want it

Designed around your home and the way you live outside

A deck can serve many purposes.

It might create an outdoor dining area, improve access to the backyard, provide a safer pool surround or replace an ageing structure that is no longer performing properly.

The right design depends on more than the available dimensions.

Decking for different homes, sites and maintenance preferences.


Property Plus works with a range of timber and composite decking options.The most suitable approach depends on the site, appearance, budget, exposure and level of ongoing maintenance the homeowner is comfortable with.

Hardwood and timber decking

Timber decking offers a natural appearance that works well with Queensland homes, gardens and outdoor entertaining areas.

Depending on availability, design and suitability, timber options may include hardwood and treated timber products.

Timber decking can be used for:
Entertaining decks
Entry decks
Elevated decks
Pool surrounds
Walkways
Stairs and landings
Deck extensions
Replacement deck boards

The colour and appearance of natural timber will change with age, sun exposure and maintenance.

Regular cleaning and recoating may be required to retain the preferred appearance and protect the surface.

Composite decking

A lower-maintenance alternative to natural timber

Composite decking can suit homeowners who want a consistent appearance with less ongoing oiling or staining than many natural timber products.

Benefits can include:
No regular oiling required for many products
Resistance to splitting and splintering
Consistent board profiles
A range of colours and finishes
Suitability for many exposed outdoor areas
Easier routine cleaning

Composite decking is not completely maintenance-free.

Boards still require cleaning, and product performance varies between brands, colours and installation conditions.

We can discuss product options, fixing systems, heat exposure, expansion requirements and expected maintenance before the final material is selected.

Pool & poolside decking

Comfortable access around the pool area

Decking can provide a practical transition between the home, garden and pool.

A poolside deck needs careful consideration because it is regularly exposed to water, direct sun and barefoot traffic.

Important factors include:
Surface texture
Heat underfoot
Drainage
Ventilation
Board spacing
Corrosion-resistant fixings
Access to pool equipment
Pool-barrier requirements
Ongoing cleaning and maintenance

The decking material should be selected with the specific pool area and exposure in mind.

Deck repairs, extensions & restoration

Repair ageing, damaged or unsafe decking

Decks can deteriorate because of moisture, sun exposure, corrosion, movement, poor drainage or insufficient maintenance.

Property Plus can assess and repair issues such as:
Rotten deck boards
Loose or damaged boards
Deteriorated joists and bearers
Movement or uneven sections
Damaged stairs and landings
Loose handrails and balustrades
Corroded fixings
Localised subframe damage
Deck and house connection issues
Worn privacy screens

Where appropriate, individual components can be repaired or replaced.

If deterioration is widespread, rebuilding part or all of the deck may provide a safer and better long-term result.

Why our decks last

Why Property Plus decks are built carefully

Planned for the actual property

Decks should be designed around the available space, ground conditions, access, exposure and existing home.

Strong supporting carpentry

Straight joists, secure connections and appropriate support create the foundation for a solid finished surface.

Materials chosen for the application

The selected boards, framing, fixings and finishes should suit the intended use and surrounding environment.

Clear communication

We explain the available options, project requirements and agreed scope before the relevant work begins.

Good to know

Decking questions, answered

How long does a deck take to build?

The construction period depends on:

Deck size and height
Design complexity
Site access
Ground conditions
Material availability
Existing demolition
Stairs and balustrades
Engineering or approval requirements
Weather
Other trades involved

A more accurate timeframe can be discussed once the design, materials and scope are confirmed.

Is hardwood or composite decking better?

Both can be suitable.

Hardwood provides a natural appearance but generally requires ongoing cleaning and recoating.

Composite decking usually requires less surface maintenance, although it still needs cleaning and can behave differently in direct sun.

The most appropriate choice depends on the property, intended use, appearance and maintenance preferences.

Do I need council approval for a deck?

It depends on the deck and the property.

Factors may include:

Height above the ground
Total area
Boundary position
Connection to the home
Structural design
Site overlays
Bushfire or flood requirements
Pool-barrier implications

A building certifier, designer, engineer or local authority may need to advise on the specific proposal.

Requirements should be established before construction begins.

Can you repair or extend my existing deck?

Yes, subject to its condition.

Repairs may include replacing boards, repairing subframe components, adjusting stairs, replacing handrails or correcting localised damage.

If the supporting structure is extensively deteriorated, rebuilding may be more appropriate than continuing to repair individual sections.
