What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

The Decksmith is a name that surfaces repeatedly in accounts of deck, pergola and outdoor living work around Sydney, with Jonti and Greg singled out as the two tradesmen behind most of the praise. Reviews regularly refer to a thorough consultation in which board types, finishes and product qualities were discussed before any decision was locked in, and experienced advice was given on shaping a vague idea into something buildable.

Punctuality and site cleanliness are recurring themes, including early arrivals in wet weather and a tidy finish at the close of each day. The jobs described take in timber and Millboard decking, stairs, apartment balconies, a pergola in Eastlakes and a sunken fire pit seating area, with a three-dimensional model prepared beforehand so the built result matched the agreed design.

Something that features in review after review is resourcefulness when existing structures proved awkward, as when failing sandstone blocks were strengthened with a steel surround and extra decking so the repair read as part of the layout. Customers also report that quoted sums were honoured, communication stayed steady from first contact to handover, and installations were finished promptly, sometimes within a couple of days, leaving households with usable spaces for entertaining and for children to play.

Excellent service. We used the decksmith to complete a job at our office. From booking in the work, to completing the job was stress free.

Greg was the loveliest person to deal with. He turned up at 7 am rain or shine and was extremely professional and tidy. He designed a 3 D model of what our sunken fire pit seated area would look like and he designed exactly what he created. He even managed to reinforce our crumbling sandstone tile blocks with a metal frame and additional timber decking to look like it was part of the design. I would definitely recommend Greg for future projects. He is reliable and did not disappoint.

Greg from The Decksmith just finished our deck and pergola in Eastlakes and we couldn't be happier. He's a proper craftsman - does the work himself, no shortcuts, and clearly cares about what he's building. Communication was easy the whole way through and he stuck to what he quoted. The pergola has completely changed how we use the backyard. Highly recommend if you're in the Eastern Suburbs.

A must consider for all things hardwood and composite decking! As a carpenter of 18 years, 3 of which I spent working with Greg and the Decksmith team in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. I can say without question they’re the most knowledgeable and efficient decking company I’ve worked with and was constantly on the forefront of industry innovation in this particular field of construction. Very grateful for my time with them and how much I learned. Steven.

We recently had the pleasure of working with this exceptional team and couldn’t be more impressed from start to finish they were professional, tidy, quick and incredibly knowledgeable. Every step of the process was clearly communicated and their attention to detail was evident in their craftsmanship and customer service. Without hesitation, I highly recommend them. Fantastic job!

Jonti and Greg were amazing. They installed our large deck and did so with attention to detail and minimal issues. We are really happy with the end result and would have no problem recommending them. They are a great duo.
