Client Reviews

What Sydney homeowners say

★★★★★

"From the first quote to the final screw, the team was professional, on time, and took real pride in their work. The timber they recommended has held up beautifully — they even came back to oil the deck once it settled. It's rare to find tradies who care this much."

Liam P.
Mona Vale, NSW
★★★★★

"We had a tricky split-level yard and they came up with a design that gave us more usable space than we thought possible. 100% worth it for the quality. We spend most evenings out on the deck now!"

M
Michael R.
Forestville, NSW
★★★★★

"The crew were friendly and easy to have around. There were a couple of weather delays but they kept us updated the whole time. The finished deck looks amazing — sturdy, neat, and just what we hoped for. Would happily recommend."

K
Kate D.
North Shore, NSW
★★★★★

"They built us a deck around our pool and it looks fantastic. A couple of small hiccups during the build, but sorted quickly and professionally. Nice guys and great communication throughout."

Materials

The right material
for your deck

We work across the full range of decking materials and will help you choose what's right for your home, your budget, and how much maintenance you want to do.

🪵
Merbau

Rich reddish-brown hardwood. Naturally resistant to termites, rot, and weathering. One of Australia's most popular decking choices — and for good reason.

Premium Hardwood
🌿
Spotted Gum

Australian native hardwood with striking grain and natural variation. Extremely durable, beautiful as it ages. The premium choice for statement decks.

Premium Hardwood
🌳
Blackbutt

Pale golden-blonde Australian hardwood with a clean, contemporary look. Lighter in colour than merbau — ideal for modern homes and Hamptons-style aesthetics.

Premium Hardwood
🔲
Evo Home

Our entry-level composite — and a solid mid-market product. No oiling, no splintering, handles Sydney weather without fuss. A great starting point for homeowners moving away from timber maintenance.

Composite · Entry
🔳
Evo Advanced

Our mid-tier composite. Better finish, better performance, and a more refined look than Evo Home. A popular choice for homeowners who want low maintenance without compromising on appearance.

Composite · Mid Tier
Trex

Top of the line in composite decking. Fade resistant, stain resistant, exceptionally durable, and backed by a strong warranty. The go-to premium composite for pool areas and high-use decks.

Composite · Premium
🏆
Millboard

The finest boards we offer. Moulded composite with a distinct look and texture — more realistic and tactile than Trex, with unmatched depth and character. For homeowners who want the very best.

Common Questions

Straight answers

How much does a new deck typically cost?
Every deck is different, but most residential decks in Sydney range from around $8,000 for a simple flat deck up to $30,000+ for large multi-level or pool decks in premium hardwood. The most accurate way to get a number is a free site visit — we'll give you a detailed, itemised quote with no pressure.
How quickly can you quote and start?
We operate on a 48-hour rule: first contact within 48 hours of your enquiry, written quote within 48 hours of the site visit. We move fast because we know you don't want to be left wondering.
How long does it take to build a deck?
A standard residential deck typically takes 1–3 weeks on site depending on size and complexity. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start and stick to it. We don't split focus across multiple jobs while we're on yours.
Do I need council approval or a permit?
In most cases, decks under certain height and size thresholds qualify as exempt or complying development under NSW planning rules — no DA required. We'll confirm the situation for your specific property during the quote at no cost.
What materials do you recommend?
Depends on your priorities. For low maintenance and pool areas, composite is hard to beat. For a classic Australian timber look that gets better with age, merbau or spotted gum is exceptional. We'll walk you through the options on site and help you make a confident decision.
Can you help with the design, or do I need plans?
Design is part of what we do — you don't need to arrive with anything. We'll come to your home, look at the space, and work the design out together before we quote. No plans needed.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Johnson Brothers Construction holds Contractor License 476238C (Carpentry & Joinery) and is registered with the icare Home Building Compensation Fund. Fully compliant, fully insured, White Card certified.
