Who we are

The people who quote your deck are the people who build it.

5 Star Decking is a Sydney team of carpenters led by Thomas Leconte. The people who measure and quote your deck are the ones on site building it — which is why our clients mention them by name.

Hardwood or composite, ground level or two storeys up, a simple platform or a full outdoor room: we design it with you, build it properly underneath, and finish it like it's ours.

01

A fixed quote, from a real visit

We measure on site and quote the whole job — boards, subframe, balustrade, stairs — so nothing turns up later as an extra.

02

Built properly, underneath too

H3 or H4 subframes chosen for the height and the ground, and under-deck systems where you want a dry space below.

03

Timber or composite, your call

Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Merbau hardwoods, or capped composites from Millboard, Modelo, Trex and Eva-Last — we'll tell you honestly which suits your deck.

What we build

Everything from the footings up.

Materials we install

Every board we lay, every frame we build.

Composite or hardwood, we have laid most of what is sold in Sydney and will tell you which board suits your deck, your budget and your sun. Composite boards carry manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years, and every build carries our workmanship guarantee.

Deck builders Sydney

Timber and composite decking, across Sydney.

5 Star Decking designs and builds decks across Sydney — from the Eastern Suburbs and the Inner West to the North Shore and the Northern Beaches. We work in Australian hardwoods such as Blackbutt, Spotted Gum and Merbau, and in capped composite decking from Modelo, Millboard, Trex, Eva-Last and ModWood, on H3 or H4 treated-pine, LowDeck or aluminium subframes chosen for the height of the deck and the ground it sits on.

Beyond the deck itself we build patios and pergolas, timber and glass balustrades, privacy screens, exterior stairs and under-deck waterproofing, and we look after existing decks with sanding, oiling and board replacement through our decking maintenance service. Every job is quoted after a site visit, built by our own carpenters and handed over with a care guide.
