Project Spotlight.

Project
Demolish outdated, old unsafe deck. Build new wrap around deck to completely transform indoor/outdoor living

Year
2025

Timber framing level plumb deck

I recently had the pleasure of completing a comprehensive outdoor renovation for a valued client.

The project involved demolishing an unsafe and outdated deck, repairing and refurbishing the cladding to enhance durability, and replacing degraded verandah posts. I also addressed a ground water issue by installing effective drainage solutions to prevent future issues.

The highlight was building a stunning new Kwila-clad deck featuring elegant timber balustrades and custom perimeter lighting, creating a beautiful and functional outdoor space.

“I honestly could not be happier with the result. I’m annoying people because I won’t shut up about how much I love it. It’s transformed my living space - highly and unashamedly recommend DLK LTD to anyone that is after a quality build and a beautiful finish.”
