Personalised Burleigh Deck Services!
Altar Decks is here to help you with all things decking in Burleigh. We are a family owned and operated Gold Coast business that focuses on one clear goal, building quality decks that suit the coastal lifestyle. With more than thirty five years of experience, our team understands how to design and construct decks that handle sun, salt air and busy family life.
Every Burleigh property is different. Townhouses near James Street, family homes in the back streets and elevated blocks all need slightly different solutions. We listen to how you use your outdoor area, what you like the look of and how much maintenance you are comfortable with, then recommend a decking option that fits your home and budget.
How does that sound?
Timber Decking
Timber decking is a classic choice for Burleigh homes that want a warm natural look that connects with the trees, ocean and laid back feel of the suburb. Altar Decks works with quality hardwoods such as merbau, spotted gum and blackbutt along with treated pine to build decks that feel solid underfoot and look right at home near pools and outdoor living zones.
With the right oil or stain and a simple care plan, your timber deck can stand up to Burleigh sun, occasional storms and sea breeze while still looking great many years from now. We can help you choose the best timber for your block, explain the maintenance involved and set you up with a finish that suits the style of your home.
Composite Decking
For Burleigh homeowners who want the look of timber without as much ongoing work, composite decking is a smart alternative. These boards are made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic so they resist rot, splintering and insect damage and keep a consistent colour without regular sanding or staining.
Composite decking works especially well for busy households and outdoor areas near pools or the beach where you want something stable under bare feet, easy to clean and long lasting. A quick wash is usually enough to keep your composite deck in Burleigh Heads looking fresh which makes it popular for holiday homes and low maintenance investments.

“Real person and real review here from a very happy customer 😃 We have a small pool deck that was looking tired and needed to be sanded, stained and protected again. They also located some rotting in the frame of the deck which was dangerous and needed to be fixed. This was due to poor drainage when the deck was originally built by someone else. Thanks to Michael, Josh, Jordi and the whole team at Altar for making it look brand new and safe for my family 😃”
