Our decking service in Coomera
Timber decking
Spotted gum, blackbutt and merbau remain the most requested hardwoods for their colour and durability. We seal cut ends, use appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings, and set consistent board gaps so the deck weathers evenly instead of cupping.
Composite decking
Capped composite gives you the timber look without the annual oiling cycle - a strong choice around pools and on high-UV aspects. We install with hidden fixings, correct expansion gaps for thermal movement and clean fascia detailing at the edges.
Structure, stairs and compliance
Footings, bearers, joists, ledger fixing and balustrade all built to Queensland structural requirements. Decks above the specified height need engineering and certification, which we arrange as part of the job rather than leaving to you.
What decking cost in Coomera (2026)
Timber decks typically run $350-$550 per square metre installed; capped composite decking generally sits $450-$700 per square metre. Elevated decks with stairs, balustrade and engineered footings sit at the upper end. Prices vary with access, existing condition and the level of finish you choose. Upgrading builder-grade finishes delivers the biggest visible improvement in these homes.
How long decking take
A standard deck takes 1-2 weeks on site. Elevated decks, roofed patios or pergolas requiring approval add 2-6 weeks for engineering and certification.

Frequently asked questions - Coomera
Do I need council approval for a deck in {loc}?
Decks more than one metre above natural ground level, roofed patios, pergolas attached to the house and pool-side decks generally need engineering and building approval in Coomera. Low, freestanding ground-level decks are often exempt. We confirm the requirement at the site inspection and arrange the engineer and private certifier as part of the job.
Timber or composite decking in {loc}?
Hardwood costs less up front and looks warmer, but needs re-oiling every 12-24 months to hold its colour in the Queensland sun. Capped composite costs more initially and is close to maintenance free, which is why most Coomera pool surrounds and high-UV aspects we build now use it. We price both options so you can compare over a ten-year horizon, not just on day one.
How long does a deck take to build in {loc}?
A standard deck in Coomera takes 1-2 weeks on site once materials land. Elevated decks with stairs and balustrade, or a roofed patio or pergola, run 3-6 weeks including engineering and certification time before construction starts.
How much do decking cost in Coomera?
Timber decks typically run $350-$550 per square metre installed; capped composite decking generally sits $450-$700 per square metre. Elevated decks with stairs, balustrade and engineered footings sit at the upper end. We inspect the property in Coomera before quoting, so the figure you receive is a fixed price for your job rather than a generic range.
