What Homeowners Ask

Q

What does a deck cost in Perth?

Most Perth decks fall between $12,000 and $30,000. The spread comes from size, material choice, and substructure complexity.

Q

How long does a deck build take?

Most builds complete in 3–7 days once materials are on site. Lead time is typically 4–8 weeks from quote to start date.

Q

Do I need council approval?

In WA, most ground-level decks under 10 m² don't need approval. Raised decks and anything larger typically need a building permit.

Q

Timber or composite — which is better?

Composite wins on maintenance. Timber wins on feel and initial cost. The right choice depends on aspect, budget, and lifestyle.

Q

What's the 20 Year Deck Standard?

Our internal build checklist — substructure protection, fixings spec, drainage, and footings. Everything that determines 8 years or 25.

Q

Do you offer a warranty?

7-year structural warranty on all Endure Decks builds. Manufacturer warranties on materials vary by product.
