Decks & carpentry across Port Stephens

Hardwood decks, cladding and renovation carpentry for homeowners and builders around the bay, built to the same standard as our Sydney work.

Port Stephens

Outdoor living, built properly

Port Stephens is our second base, and most of what we do here is outdoor living. Hardwood decks on steel subframes, stairs, balustrades and the cladding that ties a deck back into the house.

We also take on larger structural work: garages and outbuildings from slab to lock-up, extension framing, and new roofed outdoor areas between existing wings of a home.

Coastal homes take a beating. Salt, hard sun and long stretches with nobody in the house. We build and specify with that in mind, and we are straight with you about what will last and what will not.
