HOW WE WORK
Decks and Outdoor Living Projects
Here are the top 5 most Frequently Asked Questions about Decking
1. Do I Need a Permit to Build a Deck in Melbourne?
Yes, in many cases, a building permit is required. If your deck is elevated more than 800mm off the ground, attached to a dwelling, or exceeds certain size thresholds, a building permit is typically necessary. Smarter Home Renovations assists clients in navigating the permit application process, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
2. What Decking Materials Are Best for Melbourne's Climate?
Melbourne’s variable weather conditions demand durable decking materials. Popular choices include:
Merbau: A hardwood known for its resilience and rich color.
Composite decking: Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, offering low maintenance and resistance to rot and pests.
Treated pine: An economical option that’s treated to resist decay and insect damage.
Smarter Home Renovations provides guidance on selecting the best material to suit your aesthetic preferences and budget.
3. How Long Does It Take to Build a Deck?
The construction timeline varies based on the deck’s size, design complexity, and site conditions. Typically, a standard deck project can take anywhere from one to two weeks from commencement to completion. Smarter Home Renovations offers detailed project timelines during the consultation phase to set clear expectations.
4. What Maintenance Is Required for My New Deck?
Maintenance depends on the chosen material:
Timber decks: Require regular cleaning and periodic sealing or staining to protect against weathering.
Composite decks: Need minimal upkeep, usually just occasional cleaning with soapy water to remove dirt and debris.
Smarter Home Renovations provides care instructions tailored to your deck’s material to ensure longevity.
5. Can I Customise the Design of My Deck?
Absolutely. Smarter Home Renovations specialises in creating bespoke decking solutions that align with your home’s architecture and your personal preferences. Options include various layouts, integrated seating, lighting features, and more to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space.

Love our new deck!
My experience with Smarter Home Renovations has been very positive. I love that it is a family business. Tony and Milan work together very well. They are professional, polite, considerate, they work really hard and they do a great job! I am very happy with their work and highly recommend them.
Bathroom Renovation - required due to a broken pipe
I contacted Smarter Home Renovations as my bathroom in Avondale Heights required a renovation due to a broken pipe within the slab. Tony was so helpful and was prompt to coordinate a quote. The communication between himself, the real estate and tenant was outstanding. Tony sent photos of the renovation thru each stage as I was interstate. The bathroom was kept clean and safe during the entire renovation. The renovation looks modern and neat, the broken pipe fixed, as it should have been plumbed in the first place! Thank you Tony and your team of tradies.
Bathroom renovation
We had a great renovation experience with Tony, Milan and their team of trades. The team of builders, plumber, tilers, electrician and painters were all highly experienced and took pride in their craft. They were all very considerate of our needs and, being over Christmas, weee very accommodating of working around our holidays. We were very happy with workmanship and cost which needed some flexibility as we could not know the extent of water damage to subfloor structures between the ground and first floor until after some demolition. I would strongly recommend anyone looking to renovate to speak to Tony and see what they could do for you.
