How Nowra Deck Co works
Nowra Deck Co is a local lead-matching service connecting Nowra and Shoalhaven property owners with independent, licensed carpenters and deck builders. We don’t do the work ourselves. The builder you’re matched with quotes, builds and is responsible for the job. In NSW, a contractor licence is needed for residential building work, including decks and pergolas, valued at more than $5,000 in labour and materials. Check the builder’s licence on the NSW Government licence check before you sign, and for work over $20,000 ask for the Home Building Compensation certificate before work starts.
