Timber Repairs in Paradise Point - what to expect

Paradise Point is a relaxed northern Broadwater village with a strong owner-occupier base. Waterfront homes, older low-sets being renovated, and newer coastal rebuilds. For timber repairs specifically, this matters. Direct Broadwater exposure demands marine-grade fixings and durable external finishes. Every Paradise Point project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our timber repairs service in Paradise Point

Finding the real extent of the damage

Visible damage is almost always the smallest part of the problem. We open up linings, lift boards and probe adjacent members so the quote covers the actual damaged area rather than stopping at the first sound timber and leaving you with a variation halfway through.

Structural repairs done under licence

Bearers, joists, stumps, wall plates and studs are structural. Replacement uses treated pine or hardwood to suit the exposure, with correct bearing, fixings and propping, and an engineer involved where the member is carrying load. This is licensed building work, not handyman work.

Fixing the cause, not just the timber

Timber does not rot without a water source. Failed flashings, blocked deck drainage, ground clearance, leaking shower walls, unsealed end grain and poor subfloor ventilation are the usual culprits. We correct the cause as part of the repair so the new timber lasts as long as it should.

What timber repairs cost in Paradise Point (2026)

Small localised repairs such as a rotted sill, jamb or a few deck boards generally run $600-$2,500. Deck frame and fascia repairs typically run $3,000-$9,000, and structural subfloor or wall framing replacement $6,000-$25,000 depending on extent and access. Prices vary with access, existing condition and the level of finish you choose. Direct Broadwater exposure demands marine-grade fixings and durable external finishes.

How long timber repairs take

Localised repairs are usually completed in 1-2 days. Deck frame and fascia works run 3-7 days, and structural subfloor or framing replacement 1-3 weeks.

Frequently asked questions - Paradise Point

How do I know if timber damage is rot or termites?

Rot in Paradise Point usually shows up as soft, dark, spongy timber around wet areas, deck edges, window sills and subfloors where water sits. Termite damage tends to be hollow-sounding with the surface intact, sometimes with mud tunnelling behind it. We probe and open up the affected area so you know exactly which one you are dealing with before anything is quoted.

Do you work with a pest controller?

Yes. Where termites are active in a Paradise Point home the colony has to be treated by a licensed pest manager before we replace timber, otherwise the new work becomes the next meal. We coordinate the sequence so treatment happens first and repairs follow.

Can rotten deck and window timbers be repaired rather than replaced?

Sometimes. Isolated surface rot in a hardwood member can be cut out and spliced, but anything structural or more than superficial gets replaced. In Paradise Point's humidity, patching over damaged timber with filler is a short-term fix that hides a growing problem.

How much do timber repairs cost in Paradise Point?

Small localised repairs such as a rotted sill, jamb or a few deck boards generally run $600-$2,500. Deck frame and fascia repairs typically run $3,000-$9,000, and structural subfloor or wall framing replacement $6,000-$25,000 depending on extent and access. We inspect the property in Paradise Point before quoting, so the figure you receive is a fixed price for your job rather than a generic range.
