Professional Deck Rejuvenation in Brisbane
PHMS provides practical, high-quality deck rejuvenation across Brisbane’s northside, with a focus on safe, durable repairs and well-executed maintenance work.
If your deck is deteriorating, unsafe, weathered or no longer looking its best, the right attention to detail can significantly extend its life.
Common Problems
Typical issues include:
- Failed coatings: peeling, spotted or moulding
- Deck just looks like it needs a freshen up
- Rotten deck boards. Joists also need to be checked for rot
- Boards seem to stay wet for an extended period after rain
These problems are common for decks that have not been regularly serviced. Modern deck coatings may last as long as seven years however most need to be recoated at least every five. Traditional Sikkens brand coatings should be lightly sanded and recoated every two years. Spa and Deck brand coatings may still be serviceable for up to four years.
A coating that has been down for ten years or more no longer provides weather protection for your decking surface and tends to lead to accelerated damage.
This is particularly evident where timber is affected by moisture, sun exposure and long-term wear.
Typical Repair & Improvement Work
PHMS commonly carries out:
- replace isolated decking boards
- completely reclad deck surface
- repair or replace deck joists
- rebuild deck structure
- tend to nearby timber work like stairs, handrails and balustrade
The aim is to provide a repair or upgrade that is practical, durable and visually in keeping with the home where possible.
When Repair Makes Sense
In many cases, targeted repairs are the best option when:
- the main structure is still serviceable
- only selected components have deteriorated
- the goal is to restore safety and appearance
- full replacement would be unnecessary or excessive
Where replacement is the better long-term option, that can be identified during quoting or inspection. Depending on the original build quality, decks around ten years old and exposed to the elements unfortunately are often candidates for full rebuild.
We aim to offer an economic repair solution where it makes sense however if your deck has not been maintained for an extended period a thorough inspection will help determine the true extend of work required.
Ideal For
This service is well suited to:
- ongoing maintenance of timber structures
- replacing rotten or unsafe components
- improving safety, usability and presentation
- addressing wear before it becomes more extensive
- homeowners preparing repairs before sale or move-in
Please note that for homeowners looking to do repairs prior to going to market, we generally recommend either a full set of repairs be undertaken or to leave the deck as-is.
We have found there is nothing worse than meeting a new home owner only to discover the cover-up job that had been attempted by the previous owners.
At the time of selling your home it may seem a shame to spend considerable money doing the maintenance for the incoming buyer however when done right, a thorough deck service adds real value to the sale price far in excess of the cost to do the job. In this regard do it right or don’t touch it; that’s our best advice.
