A well-designed deck extends your living space, lifts the value of your property and makes the most of Sydney’s outdoor lifestyle. Probuilding & Carpentry designs and constructs premium timber decks throughout Drummoyne and the Inner West — from elevated entertaining decks overlooking the Parramatta River to compact courtyard platforms for federation cottages.

Every deck we build starts with the structure: correctly sized bearers and joists, engineered footings, stainless or hot-dipped galvanised fixings, and drainage detailing that protects the timber for decades. The result is a deck that not only looks exceptional on day one, but remains safe, level and solid year after year.

Free quotes. Free advice. Guaranteed workmanship. Probuilding & Carpentry is a licensed NSW carpentry business (Lic. 458148C), fully insured, with 8+ years of hands-on experience. Owner Hamzah Elfoul leads every job personally and treats each home like it’s his own.

We handle every aspect of deck design and construction, including:

• New hardwood decks — spotted gum, blackbutt, merbau and ironbark, selected to suit your budget and exposure conditions
• Treated pine decks — a cost-effective option engineered and finished to a premium standard
• Elevated & multi-level decks — compliant balustrades, stairs and structural certification where required
• Deck restoration & repairs — re-boarding, sub-frame repairs, sanding and re-oiling of tired decks
• Roofed decks & pergola integration — insulated panels, Colorbond or polycarbonate roofing for year-round use
• Built-in seating, planters & privacy screens — custom joinery that completes the space

1. Get in touch. Call, SMS or send photos of your deck area through the contact form — a rough idea of size and materials helps.
2. Site visit & measure. Where needed, Hamzah visits to measure up, check access and talk through options that suit your property and budget.
3. Itemised written quote. You get a clear, line-by-line quote — no lump-sum guesswork, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
4. The build. We turn up when we say we will, keep the site clean and keep you updated as the work progresses.
5. Walkthrough & guarantee. We walk you through the finished job and stand behind our workmanship — if something’s not right, we come back and fix it.

Decking is one of the most common carpentry projects in Sydney — and one of the most commonly done poorly. Undersized joists, incorrect board gapping and unprotected fixings lead to bounce, cupping and premature rot. Our decks are built to Australian Standards with the structural detail done properly, which is why we confidently guarantee our workmanship.

• Licensed & insured — NSW contractor licence 458148C, full public liability insurance, details supplied with every quote.
• Specialists in older & heritage homes — matched skirting and architrave profiles, traditional detailing and sympathetic repairs.
• One point of contact — you deal with Hamzah directly from first call to final walkthrough, not a rotating crew of subcontractors.
• Itemised quotes, honest advice — we’ll tell you when a cheaper option will do the job, and when it won’t.

We build decks across Drummoyne, Rozelle, Balmain, Five Dock, Russell Lea, Abbotsford and the wider Inner West, alongside our home area of Peakhurst and St George. Inner West properties — particularly federation and Californian bungalow homes — often call for sympathetic design that complements the era of the house, which is a specialty of ours.

How much does a new timber deck cost in Drummoyne?

Cost depends on size, timber species, height off the ground and access. As a guide, treated pine decks start from a lower price point than hardwoods, and elevated decks cost more than ground-level platforms due to structural requirements. Every quote we provide is itemised, so you can see exactly how materials, labour and any council or engineering requirements contribute to the total.

Do I need council approval for a deck?

Many low-level decks fall under NSW exempt development provisions, while elevated or larger decks may require a CDC or DA. We advise you on the correct pathway during the quote and build to the applicable standards either way.

Which decking timber lasts longest?

Class 1 durability hardwoods such as ironbark and spotted gum offer the longest service life. With correct detailing and a regular oiling schedule, a quality hardwood deck can look superb for 20+ years.
