Why stairs matter

Stairs and balustrades take a lot of wear and are where accidents happen. Rotten stringers, loose treads and low or gappy balustrades are common on older Brisbane decks. We rebuild them to current height and spacing rules.

How a stair job works with Brisbane Deck Builder

1. Tell us what you need

Call or send a message with your suburb, rough size and how you want to use the deck. Photos of the area help.

2. We look and explain

We visit, measure up, check the ground and the house connection, and talk through timber, layout and finish.

3. Clear quote, then the work

You get a clear written quote. Once approved we build, clean up and walk you through looking after the deck.

Deck stairs and balustrades: common questions

How high does a deck need to be before it needs a balustrade?

As a guide, decks more than 1 metre above the ground need a balustrade. Rules on height and gaps apply, and we build to them.
