Most decks don't fail overnight. They fade, soften, and slowly become something you stop using. If any of these sound familiar, it's probably time.
Soft or spongy boards
If the timber gives underfoot, the rot has gone deeper than the surface. Sanding won't fix structural decay.
Popping nails & lifted screws
Fasteners working loose means the timber has shrunk, split, or the framing beneath has shifted.
Visible warping or cupping
Boards that hold water, rock underfoot, or have twisted out of alignment. The deck is fighting itself.
Mould, mildew or staining
Surface discolouration that comes back within weeks of cleaning is a sign the timber is saturated and breaking down.
Bounce or movement
If the deck flexes or bounces when you walk across it, the bearers or joists underneath are compromised.
You've stopped using it
The most honest sign of all. If you're avoiding your deck because it looks tired or feels unsafe — that's your answer.
From old deck to new deck. Here's exactly what happens.
No guesswork, no grey areas. You'll know what's happening at every stage.
Free site visit & honest assessment
I come to you, inspect the existing deck — boards and framing — and give you a straight answer on whether it needs a full replacement or just a resurface. No sales pitch, just facts.
Fixed-price quote & material selection
You get a detailed, written quote with a clear scope of works. We'll choose the right decking material for your site — timber or composite — based on aspect, use, and what matters to you. The price is the price.
Strip-out & framing inspection
The old deck comes off. I inspect every bearer, joist, and footing underneath. Anything that needs replacing or reinforcing gets addressed before a single new board goes down.
Build, finish & clean handover
New decking installed with proper spacing, fastening, and finishing. Stairs, balustrades, and picture-frame edges if required. Site left clean. You walk onto a deck you'll actually want to use.
Deck replacements across the Eastern Suburbs.
What you actually get when The Decksmith replaces your deck.
One person, start to finish
I design, quote, frame, and finish every project myself. No handoffs between a salesperson and a crew you've never met.
The framing gets checked properly
A deck replacement isn't just new boards on old joists. I inspect and rectify the substructure before anything goes back on top.
Fixed price, no variation claims
Your quote reflects the real scope. I'd rather quote accurately upfront than have an awkward conversation halfway through the build.
Timber or composite — honest advice
I'll recommend the material that's right for your site, aspect, and use — not the one with the highest margin.
Eastern Suburbs local knowledge
15+ years building across Bondi, Bronte, Coogee, Double Bay, Randwick, and surrounding suburbs. I know the access issues, the salt air, and the standards expected.
The person who built it answers the phone
If something comes up after the job, you're calling the person who built it. Not a call centre, not a receptionist.
What clients say after the build.
"Greg and his team did an amazing job installing a beautiful Millboard deck in a difficult outdoor space. His craftsmanship is next to none. We dealt with many different trades during our renovation — Greg stands out as one of the best experiences we had."
"The Decksmith is true to their name — expert tradespeople in the way you rarely find. The way in which they crafted our deck was truly a thing of beauty with hard work, precision and care. These guys were just so good with all aspects of the job."
"Greg delivered a dream deck for us in Kensington. From the detailed quote to start and finish, Greg was super communicative, kept his word and delivered exactly what he promised — and on time."
