Jay recently completed a new deck at our house and we couldn't be happier with the result. His workmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and the whole job was finished to a really high standard. We're very happy with how it turned out and would definitely recommend Shore Carpentry to anyone looking for a reliable, quality carpenter.

Jay from Shore Carpentry & Building did an amazing job on our house. He went above and beyond with our renovations. Professional workmanship, always on time and very trustworthy. We leaned on him on multiple times during our renovation and he always had the time to help out or give his opinion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

Answers to what homeowners ask.

Read all FAQs
How much does a new deck cost?
Most residential timber decks on the Central Coast range from $450 to $1,000+ per square metre installed. Composite decks and elevated structures sit at the higher end. We always provide a detailed fixed-price quote — no surprises. See our Central Coast deck cost guide.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. All quotes are free, no obligation. We come to your property, measure carefully and provide a written quote with a clear scope of works.
How long does a renovation take?
Timelines vary by scope. A bathroom typically runs 3–4 weeks, a kitchen 3–6 weeks, and a full home renovation 3–4 months. We provide a written programme upon acceptance of quote.
Do I need council approval?
Many decks and pergolas fall under NSW Exempt Development, but larger structures may need a CDC or DA. We will assess your project and can assist with approvals if requested. Read our council approval guide.
Do you work throughout the Central Coast?
Yes — from Umina Beach to Budgewoi, and everywhere between. See our Areas We Service page for details.
