Earlwood’s Deck Maintenance & Restoration Specialists
5 Star Decking has been building, restoring and maintaining decks for Earlwood homeowners since 2009. We know this suburb — the Federation and inter-war homes on large blocks, the elevated decks above sloped gardens, and the hardwood boards that have been quietly greying for years, just waiting to be brought back to life.
Most decks in Earlwood don’t need replacing. They need a professional restore. Our pressure cleaning, sanding and oiling service transforms weathered, grey, slippery timber back into a surface that looks brand new — at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Every job is handled by our own licensed carpenters — never subcontracted. NSW Builder’s Licence 395250C. Fully insured. 2-year workmanship guarantee on every job.
Why Earlwood Decks Need Regular Maintenance
- Heavy tree canopy creates shade and moisture — perfect conditions for mould and algae
- Wet winters leave untreated timber saturated, leading to warping and cracking
- Most Earlwood homes have older hardwood decks that haven’t been oiled in years
- Neglected timber becomes slippery and dangerous — a liability issue for any homeowner
- Annual or biennial maintenance extends deck life by 10–15 years
Our Deck Maintenance Services in Earlwood
🔧 Pressure Cleaning
We strip years of grime, algae, mould and old oil from your deck boards using professional Karcher equipment. Opens the grain ready for oil penetration. Transforms grey, dull timber back to its natural colour in hours.
From $150/m²
🪵 Deck Sanding
For decks with deep weathering, surface checking or stubborn discolouration, we sand back to fresh timber. Removes splinters, evens the surface, and delivers a perfectly uniform finish before oiling. Essential for decks older than 5 years.
From $150/m²
🛡️ Oiling & Sealing
We apply premium penetrating deck oil — UV-stabilised and moisture-resistant — suited to Sydney’s climate. Locks out water, feeds the timber, and brings back the deep, warm colour that makes a hardwood deck look genuinely beautiful.
From $150/m²
