Decks, Carports & Exteriors questions, answered.
The things homeowners most often ask before booking decks, carports & exteriors with MJN Carpentry.
How do you quote a deck or carport?
We quote each outdoor build individually. After a free on-site visit to check the space, levels and access, we give you an itemised estimate covering materials and labour. Decks and carports vary a lot with size, height and timber choice, so an upfront measure is the only way to give you an accurate figure.
What timber do you use for decks?
We use hardwood and treated timbers selected to stand up to the Queensland climate, and we'll talk you through the options that suit your budget and how the space will be used. Choosing the right material upfront is what keeps a deck looking good and lasting longer.
Can you repair or restore an existing deck?
Yes. Not every deck needs replacing — sometimes it's a matter of replacing boards, re-fixing the structure or refreshing the finish. We'll assess the condition honestly and tell you whether a repair or a rebuild is the better value.
Do I need approval for a deck or carport?
Some outdoor structures need building approval depending on their size, height and location. We'll let you know what's likely to apply to your project during the quote stage so there are no surprises, and we'll build to the standards required.
How long does a deck take to build?
It depends on the size and complexity, plus factors like ground conditions and weather. We'll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote so you can plan around it, and we keep you informed if anything changes once we're on site.
Which suburbs do you build decks and carports in?
We cover Brisbane's inner north and northern suburbs from Paddington — including Bardon, The Gap, Ferny Grove, Everton Park, Albany Creek and Petrie. Just outside the area? Ask us and we'll let you know.
Are you licensed and insured for outdoor builds?
Yes. MJN Carpentry is QBCC licensed, a Master Builders Queensland member and fully insured, so your deck or carport is built properly and to standard.
