Why Deck Maintenance Matters

Your deck is more than just timber and nails—it’s where you enjoy a coffee in the morning, gather with friends on a weekend, and relax after a long day. But Canberra’s dry summers, wet winters, and big temperature swings can be hard on timber. Without proper care, even the best-built deck can fade, crack, or become unsafe over time.

That’s where we come in. At Deck Builder Canberra, we offer professional, no-fuss decking maintenance to keep your outdoor space looking good and performing well year after year.

We help homeowners across Canberra with routine maintenance and one-off restorations. Whether you’re preparing for summer BBQs or just want to bring your deck back to life, we’ve got the tools and know-how to get it sorted.

Our Deck Maintenance Services

We provide a full range of services to suit all kinds of decks—old, new, timber, or composite. We’ll assess the condition of your deck and tailor the job to what it actually needs, not just what’s standard.

What we offer:

  • Deck cleaning: Remove dirt, stains, mould, and debris using safe and effective methods.
  • Sanding: Smooth out rough areas and prep the timber for sealing or oiling.
  • Oiling and sealing: Restore colour and protect against sun and rain with quality decking oils and sealers.
  • Board replacement: Swap out rotted, cracked, or warped boards to keep your deck safe and sturdy.
  • Nail and screw tightening: Fix loose boards and tripping hazards.
  • Annual maintenance plans: Keep your deck in shape without the hassle of remembering when it’s due.

No two decks are the same. We work with:

  • Hardwood decks (e.g., Merbau, Spotted Gum)
  • Treated pine decks
  • Composite decking materials

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

A little maintenance goes a long way. Keeping your deck in good condition can:

  • Improve its lifespan (well-maintained decks can last decades)
  • Make it safer for kids and visitors
  • Prevent costly repairs later on
  • Keep it looking clean and inviting

If your deck is faded, slippery, or just not what it used to be—we can help get it back in shape quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend a full clean and oil at least once a year, ideally in spring. Some decks exposed to heavy sun or rain may need more frequent care.

No—we also service composite decks and can provide advice on the best care methods for non-timber materials.

You can, but DIY maintenance often skips important steps like proper sanding or oil selection. We use quality products and methods to get longer-lasting results.

Most routine maintenance jobs are done in 1–2 days, depending on size and weather. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.

We do both. If your deck has damaged or rotting boards, we can replace them before cleaning and sealing the whole surface.
