While not being a direct composite decking installer, Decking Perth makes the whole process easier for you by directing you to installers after you purchase the materials from them.

They offer three free quotes from different installers, and you can choose which one you think will be most suitable for you.

Thus, they’re a great option if you’re someone who doesn’t want to deal with the fuss of looking for an installer after purchasing all the materials you need for your deck.

We were at first hesitant about this arrangement, but we were impressed with their vetting process in choosing installers. They don’t only choose those that have a good record in reliability but also ones that are within your budget.

What clients appreciate best about them is their dedicated customer service from the moment you enter their store and choose a deck for your home up until the completion of the decking.

They won’t leave you alone even when you’re working with an independent installer, as they offer a quality assurance for all of their products. And in the unlikely event you’ll have concerns with your installer, you can reach out to them.

That said, the quality and prices will vary based on the decking installer you choose, and you may still need to conduct additional research on the reputation of the installers they’ve recommended.

Based on their customers’ feedback, however, they had no regrets trusting the word of Decking Perth and the installers they recommended.

Perth Decking Company aims to give you a deck that not only lasts the test of time but also different weather conditions.

They only use DuraLife products (formerly Barrette Decking) for all their projects. So if you have a product preference for your deck, it may be best to look elsewhere.

DuraLife products use polypropylene and reclaimed hardwood fibre to achieve the visual aesthetic of wood without the need for the same level of maintenance natural wood has.

Their DuraLife products come with a 25-year stain and fade warranty, which gives us an added layer of security that they can come to repair your deck in the event of damage.

The one thing that their clients were most impressed by was their strict adherence to deadlines and schedules. The crew always shows up on time to do the work and finishes on or before their promised date.

Clients were also appreciative of how the crew was approachable and how they were ready to answer any of their questions about the installation process or about the deck’s maintenance.

If we have any possible gripes about them, it’s that they don’t offer any online price estimates for their services. This is most likely because fees will vary based on the size of the deck you’ll have installed.

The best way to get a price estimate is to request an obligation-free quote, and we suggest that you request a sample kit as well to test out the material that will be used for your deck.

Elite Decking does their best to stay true to their name by only providing an elite quality of service while also using only materials of the best quality.

We think they’re a great fit for those who are looking for more than just decking installation, as they also offer carpentry services and decking maintenance.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for someone to do maintenance work on your deck, such as cleaning, sanding, oiling, nailing, edging, levelling, and finishing, they’ve got you covered.

They can work on your composite deck at the same time with other home projects you may have, such as pergolas, screens, doors, gates, and more.

We like how they have an online gallery you can browse to not only check their past projects but also to get inspiration and even imagine what your deck can look like.

However, the best way is still to reach out to them for a design consultation, as what you have in mind may not be the most suitable option for your property.

Despite also offering timber decking, composite decking remains to be a popular choice among their customers for its durability, life span, and relatively low maintenance, as Australian weather isn’t exactly forgiving on natural wood.

Their services do lean towards the expensive side, but we’ve noticed that this is because their clients usually opt to get a combination of different services other than just decking.

But because of their attention to detail, we think the price you pay them is worth your money.

Timberlast WA has the widest range of services among all the businesses on this list.

They can install anything from decking to deck lighting, awnings, ceiling linings, cladding and composite screens. Should you need professional deck cleaning, they can provide that too.

Other than their wide range of services, we also like the fact that they have a physical showroom you can visit. This can help you envision the finished outcome of your deck with all the sample materials available.

Another bonus customers enjoy about them is that they offer DIY services. This means they provide all the materials and instructions that you’ll need and you will install the deck yourself.

If you’re someone who wants to practise your handyman skills or want to experience the pride of knowing you built your own deck, this is something you can try.

Should you hire them to install your composite deck, we’re happy to report that customer feedback has been mostly good. Customers appreciated the skills of the crew, their efficiency in working, and their friendliness.

However, there are complaints about their after-sales service, with customers reporting that they were no longer attended to once the service was completed. 

This was especially concerning to us, as the business seems to ignore customers who reported damages after the installation was completed. 

However, these were instances from a few years ago. We hope Timberland WA has improved their customer service since.

Perth Skirting & Decking mostly works on skirting boards and decking, and an added bonus to their services is that they can provide decking materials all over Australia with free delivery.

They don’t have a physical showroom, but you can request free samples on top of free quotes. We like how easy it is to get a quote from them, as all you have to do is fill up their online form with the square metre of your deck and location.

What their customers like best about them, however, is their great eye for detail. 

Multiple customers have noted that the crew was able to notice spots in their homes that needed repair, and if these repairs were minor, the crew did the work for no additional cost.

This has led to a solid customer base through the years, with customers choosing Perth Skirting & Decking when it comes to additional work in their homes. Because they also offer carpentry services, they’ve become the go-to for many customers.

We have to caution you though that there were a few reports of miscommunications with customers. We encourage you to be clear on what you want for the project and ask the crew what the most realistic outcome will be.

This has led to some disappointed customers whose expectations weren’t met.
