    Jake recently completed an ensuite renovation at our place in the Yarra Valley. To say that we were impressed by his work would be an understatement. Jake was helpful and fastidious from the outset to ensure an amazing final result that fit within our budget constraints. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough! 10/10

    If you are looking for a professional carpenter who produces an absolutely fantastic end result, you can't go past Jake Howard! Down to Earth Timbers built our terrific deck. This extra space has transformed the way we live. We can now make the most of this beautiful outdoor space, dining area and viewing platform. Jake is very particular about getting the job done right. Many people have admired the precise nature of his workmanship. Here are some photos of the magic Jake worked on our house! Jake has also done a couple of repair and maintenance jobs for us. We would not hesitate to very highly recommend Down to Earth Timbers! Many thanks once again Jake :-)

    Fantastic result and outstanding engagement - Jake & co recently completed a full overhaul of our ensuite and it was an absolute pleasure working with Jake from start to finish. We are super delighted with our new little gem but just as important for us was the engagement Jake offered. Very responsive, reliable and timely to name a few positive attributes. Also, there was only a tiny variation between quote and final price which is almost unheard of - well done Down to Earth Timbers, well done

    Highly recommend Jake at Down to Earth Timbers. Jake restored our back deck and front entrance porch and is currently helping us plan renovations to our rumpus room. He is reliable, honest and gives incredibly valuable and sage advice. His work is of excellent quality, he is very generous with his time and great at communicating his availability and any issues that arise during construction. He will be our go to carpenter from now on.

    Jake is reliable, honest, does quality work and is a genuine friendly guy. We have had him complete both our back deck, entry way and then return to do work on our renovations as we have continuously been impressed with his craftsman ship and professionalism. He is now the only carpenter we use.

Deck Building costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do deck builders typically charge?
Deck building costs vary widely depending on the type of job and how complex it is. Small repairs or a simple refinish are generally much less than a full new deck or work that requires structural repairs. The prices shown on this page are live and can help you compare quotes and understand likely costs.
Do deck builders charge call-out fees?
Many deck builders charge a call-out or minimum attendance fee to assess the site, which is usually separate from labour and materials. After-hours or emergency attendance is often charged at a higher rate. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum fees when you request a quote.
Do deck builders need a licence in Australia?
Yes — deck builders generally need a contractor licence or registration to carry out building work in all states and territories. In NSW the key authority is the NSW Building Commission (formerly NSW Fair Trading). You should expect a builder to provide their licence or registration number, hold public liability insurance and display relevant industry credentials such as association membership and a White Card.
