Outdoor Living in Nicholson
Nicholson is a small settlement on the river just east of Bairnsdale, mostly semi-rural blocks with room around the house. Outdoor timber on a block like that is usually practical as much as decorative: a wide verandah that shades the western wall, a deck that connects the house to the yard, a pergola or a lean-to roof over an outdoor working area rather than a formal entertaining space.
Bigger blocks also mean sheds and outbuildings, and those often need the same trade: a verandah off a shed, a covered area between buildings, timber structures that have to stand up to sun and stock rather than look pretty in a photo. We take that work on as readily as a residential deck.
Nicholson is only about 10 kilometres east of us, a 10 to 12 minute drive, so it is genuinely local and there is next to no travel loaded into a quote. Being close also means we can get out and look at a job quickly rather than booking you in for a fortnight away.
What We Build in Nicholson
Decks, Pergolas and Everything Around Them
Timber Decking
Hardwood and treated pine decks built level, solid and finished properly, then stained to suit the house.
Composite Decking
Low-maintenance boards that do not split, cup or need re-oiling, ideal near the water and on holiday properties.
Pergolas
Flat-roof and traditional pitched pergolas, freestanding or tied into the house, for shade and shelter.
Alfresco & Outdoor Living
Entertaining areas and covered outdoor rooms that connect the house to the yard and get used year-round.
Repairs & Refinishing
Failed boards and frames put right, then sanded, stained and refinished so weathered timber looks new again.
Verandahs & Custom Builds
Verandahs, carports and one-off outdoor structures built to suit the home and the block.
Why Nicholson Chooses NPD
Outdoor Timber, Done Properly
- Ten minutes from the yard. Close enough that a shed verandah or a covered area between buildings is worth our while at any size.
- 10+ years in East Gippsland. We are local, we know the homes and the climate, and we have the track record to back it.
- Timber or composite, honestly compared. We quote both and tell you what each costs to own, not just what it costs on the day.
- One point of contact. You deal with one builder from the first look to the final clean-up, with a fixed price agreed upfront.
Common Questions
Nicholson Decking FAQ
Do you build verandahs and covered areas on rural blocks around Nicholson?
Yes. Semi-rural blocks often want a wide verandah for shade, a covered area between the house and a shed, or practical timber structures around outbuildings. We take on that work alongside conventional decks.
How far is Nicholson from Bairnsdale?
Only about 10 kilometres east, a 10 to 12 minute drive. Close enough that a Nicholson quote carries essentially nothing for getting there.
How long does a deck or pergola take to build?
Most domestic decks are a week to two weeks on site once we start, depending on size, height and whether there is demolition first. A pergola on its own is usually quicker. We give you a realistic window with the quote rather than an optimistic one, and we tell you if a permit is going to add time.
Do you handle repairs, or only new builds?
Both. Plenty of our decking work is bringing an existing deck back: replacing failed boards, repairing or rebuilding the frame, then sanding, staining and refinishing. If a repair is the sensible option we will say so rather than quote you a rebuild.
