Premium Timber Decks: South Coast NSW.
Beautifully crafted hardwood decks built to last — with Jarem Taylor personally overseeing every detail from species selection to final fixing across the South Coast.
The Difference Premium Timber Makes
A premium timber deck isn't just wider boards — it's the species, the fixing system, the bearer sizing, the balustrade detail, and the finish. It's the difference between a deck that looks great at handover and one that still looks exceptional a decade later. On the South Coast, where properties are often architecturally considered and the outdoor setting is part of the home's appeal, a quality deck is worth doing properly. Done right, it's not just an outdoor surface; it's a genuine extension of your home and a defining feature of how you live in it.
Premium timber decking starts with the right hardwood species. Spotted gum, blackbutt, and ironbark are naturally durable, beautiful in grain, and well-proven in coastal conditions — they hold their structural integrity and surface character for decades in ways that lesser timbers simply don't. Beyond the species, a premium deck involves hidden fixing systems that eliminate visible screw heads for a cleaner, more refined surface. It means appropriate bearer and joist sizing so the deck doesn't flex, move, or creak over time. It means balustrade selection — frameless glass, stainless cable, or hardwood — that complements the home's architectural style rather than detracting from it.
"I won't specify inferior timber to save a margin. If you're investing in a premium deck, you deserve to know exactly what species you're getting, why it's right for your location, and that it will still look exceptional when you're entertaining on it fifteen years from now."
— Jarem Taylor, Taylormade Building Projects
Taylormade's commitment to quality runs through every decision on a premium deck build. Jarem never substitutes cheaper materials to improve his margin — he'll recommend the right species for the application, the right fixing system for the budget, and be honest when a shortcut will cost you more over time. The South Coast's coastal homes deserve decks that match their setting: crafted with care, specified correctly, and built to the standard the investment deserves. Quality you can see — and feel — every time you walk outside.
Why Choose Taylormade
Quality Without Compromise
Taylormade's reputation is built on never cutting corners. Jarem specifies materials that perform and finishes that last — not the cheapest option that wins the quote. When you invest in a premium deck, you get exactly what you've paid for.
Craftsman, Not Just Builder
Jarem's background in carpentry — Taylormade began as Jarem Taylor Carpentry in 2014 — means deck work is done with a tradesman's eye for detail. The mitres are tight, the fixings are precise, and the finish reflects genuine pride in the craft.
Premium Timber Specified Right
Expert guidance on hardwood species selection for your specific coastal location. Timber that will age beautifully rather than check, split, or corrode fasteners — because the right species for the right application is the foundation of every great deck.
Investment-Grade Pricing
Transparent quotes that reflect the quality of materials and workmanship. We'll tell you what you're getting and why it's worth it — so you can make an informed decision and invest with confidence in a deck that will hold its value.
How It Works
Consultation
We start by understanding your vision, your home's architecture, and how you want to use the space — whether that's a quiet evening retreat, a large entertaining deck, or an integrated outdoor room. Jarem will visit your property to assess the site, discuss structural requirements, and give you honest, expert advice about what will work best for your location.
Timber & Material Selection
We guide you through hardwood species options — spotted gum, blackbutt, ironbark, merbau — and explain the performance and aesthetic characteristics of each. We'll also discuss your fixing system (hidden or face-fixed), balustrade style, board width and profile, and any integrated features such as lighting or built-in planters.
Detailed Quote
You'll receive a clear, itemised written quote covering all materials and labour — with no vague allowances or hidden variables. We'll walk you through it, explain the reasoning behind each specification, and answer any questions before you commit to anything.
The Build
Construction begins with substructure — bearers, joists, and posts sized and fixed to the standard the decking above deserves. Every stage is managed by Jarem personally: bearer alignment, joist spacing, decking layout, hidden fixings, balustrade installation, and final finishing. Your home and garden are treated with care throughout, and the site is left tidy at the end of each day.
Handover & Care Instructions
We walk through the finished deck with you to ensure everything is exactly as agreed and that you're completely satisfied before we call the job done. You'll receive care and maintenance instructions for your specific timber species — so your deck continues to look exceptional for years to come.
What Our Clients Say
"Cannot recommend Jarem and his team highly enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. They were punctual, professional, and treated our home with the utmost care and respect throughout the renovation process. Jarem is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a genuinely honest and down-to-earth person whose advice helped guide us toward the best choices for both our space and our vision."
"The biggest thing that made our process so easy was trust. After meeting Jarem, you could very quickly identify that he is a genuine, respectful and trustworthy individual. This was a major deal breaker for us as without being able to entrust someone to work independently, responsibly and who was diligent in their workmanship, our project would have never commenced."
