If you’ve visited 5stardecking.com recently, you’ll have noticed things look a little different. Our homepage has had a full refresh, and it’s built around one goal: making it faster and easier for Sydney homeowners to picture their new deck, understand what it costs, and get a proper quote from a licensed builder.
Watch the Millboard difference
The first thing you’ll see on the new front page is our Millboard Decking video, right in the hero. Millboard is the premium composite we install most often, and the video shows the board’s moulded timber grain and low-sheen finish up close — the kind of detail that’s hard to judge from a brochure. Play it straight from the homepage before you scroll on.
Honest numbers, up front
Our new homepage states it plainly: over 4,000 decking installs completed. That figure comes from two decades of work across Sydney — from Coogee balconies to Campbelltown family decks. Behind it sits our NSW contractor licence 395250C, which you should always check on any builder’s site before you pick up the phone.
Everything the new site helps you do
Get an instant guide price. The most-used feature is our deck cost calculator — a 3D designer where you sketch out your deck’s size, shape and materials and receive a guide price on the spot. It’s the fastest way to sanity-check a budget before you talk to anyone, and it links straight from the new homepage.
Browse real Sydney work. The project pages take you through recent builds in suburbs like Coogee, Cronulla, Campbelltown and Maroubra — real photographs, real materials, no stock imagery.
Compare materials honestly. Our pricing page sets out the going rates for Sydney decking: around $440 per square metre for hardwood, $550 for premium composite and pool surrounds, and $153 for full restoration of a tired existing deck. The new layout puts those numbers where you can find them without hunting.
Ask a real question. The contact form goes straight to the team, and every enquiry gets a reply from someone who has actually built decks for a living — not a call centre.
Why we rebuilt the front page
A website should work like a good deck: solid footings, nothing wobbly, and no surprises when you walk on it. The old page was doing its job, but it made people dig for the essentials — pricing, licensing, the calculator. The new design puts those three things on the first screen.
We’ve kept what mattered and fixed what didn’t: the deck gallery is bigger, the video plays without fuss, and every claim on the page is one we can stand behind.
Take it for a spin
Head to the new homepage, watch the Millboard video, and if you’re toying with an idea for your own place, sketch it in the cost calculator first — it takes about two minutes and gives you a realistic Sydney price range before anyone visits site.
