I'll bring your weathered deck back to life with proper restoration
Get Free QuoteI see what the Northern Rivers weather does to timber decks. Sun, rain, salt air - it all takes its toll. I properly restore weathered decks using quality materials and proven techniques. Sand back to bare timber, apply quality stain or oil, and protect against future weather damage. I also provide professional deck sanding and gutter cleaning services to protect your entire outdoor area.
I don't just slap on a quick coat and call it done. I assess the timber condition, repair any structural issues, sand properly through different grits, and apply the right products for your specific timber and exposure. I use quality Cabot's, Feast Watson, and other proven deck products that actually last. For coastal properties, I understand the specific challenges from Byron Bay to Ballina.

"Daniel built a new deck and pergola for us, and we couldn't be happier. The timber looks incredible, and the build feels solid and well-finished. He handled everything—from sourcing materials to staining the wood. It's rare to find a local carpenter who cares this much about quality."

Most deck restorations take 2-4 days depending on size and condition. This includes replacing damaged boards, sanding, cleaning, and applying marine-grade oil. Larger decks or those requiring structural repairs may take up to a week.
