Snowy Monaro & Bega Valley
Decks, Pergolas & Outdoor Living in Bombala, Cooma & the Bega Valley
Hardwood decks, pergolas, patios and verandahs built to handle the weather and the weekend BBQ.
There's nothing better than kicking back on a well-built deck after a long day. A good deck, pergola or verandah adds real living space and value to your home — and a bad one turns into a maintenance headache within a few years.
We take the time to understand how you'll use the space, then build it with quality hardwood or composite, proper footings and the right fixings for our conditions.
What we do
- Hardwood and composite decks
- Pergolas, patios and carports
- Verandahs and covered entertaining areas
- Stairs, balustrades and ramps
- Deck repairs, re-decking and replacement
- Engineering and approvals where needed

Frequently asked questions
Do I need council approval for a deck or pergola?
Many small, low decks and pergolas are exempt development in NSW, but height, size, distance to boundaries and bushfire zone all matter. We'll check your site and handle any approval needed.
What timber do you recommend?
For most homes we recommend a durable Australian hardwood such as spotted gum or merbau, or a composite board if you want minimal maintenance. We'll talk you through the options and costs.
Can you replace the boards on my old deck?
Often, yes. If the frame and footings are sound we can re-deck it, which costs much less than a full rebuild. We'll inspect it first and tell you honestly.
Reviews
Trusted by local homeowners
“Matt Bennett and his incredible team recently completed a re roofing job at our home. We HIGHLY recommend Matt and the team. The communication process was professional and efficient, the team were very hard working, problem solving was excellent and the results of the work on our roof were impeccable… If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“After a terrible insurance experience post bushfires, Matt and his team did an amazing job putting a new roof on our house and replacing ceilings to make it watertight again. They also did structural work, rebuilding our entire back room, new floors as well as replacing the deck. Really happy with their workmanship and will always ring them first in the future!”
