Vital Ease — home modification and maintenance solutions

Decking, built level withthe door it serves.

Decks built level with your door, in merbau hardwood or low-maintenance composite, with ramps and handrails where you need them. Across Victoria and New South Wales.

An outdoor spaceyou can get to.

A deck can give you back your garden. Built level with the door, it removes the step outside, and a ramp can take you the rest of the way to the yard.

We build decks in merbau hardwood or in composite. You can see both below.

Both are built to last, and we add ramps and handrails wherever you need them, so everyone can enjoy the outdoors safely.

Composite decking

Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibre and plastic. It looks like timber, but needs far less looking after. Our composite decks come in five ranges, so your deck can match your home. Every colour is shown in the tabs above.

How itworks.

    We measure up, look at the ground and the door heights, and show you samples.

    You get a written price, set out so your plan manager, case manager, or occupational therapist can approve it easily.

    We build the frame, lay the boards, and add any ramp and handrails.

  4. Backed by warranty

    All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you complete home modifications while I am still living in my home?
Yes. In most cases, you can remain living in your home while modifications are completed. We aim to minimise disruption and work around your needs where possible. Some work may temporarily affect access to bathrooms, toilets, entrances, or other essential areas. Decking work may temporarily affect access through the deck or the entrance it serves.
Can I choose the materials and finishes for my home modification?
Yes. You can choose from a range of available materials, colours, products, and finishes. You can also tell us the style or look you would like to achieve. We will look into particular requests and do our best to accommodate them where possible. Merbau is a strong hardwood with a rich, natural grain, but it needs oiling to keep its colour. Composite costs more at first, then needs almost nothing: no sanding, no oiling, and no splinters. If nobody wants to look after a deck, composite is usually the better choice.
Can a ramp be built into the deck?
Yes, and where the ground allows, it is the neatest way. The ramp becomes part of the deck, not something added on beside it, and the step is gone for good.
Can you add handrails to a deck I already have?
Yes. We often add handrails to existing decks and deck steps. It is often the one change that makes the outside of the house safe to use again.
How much maintenance does composite decking need?
Just a wash now and then. It stands up to weather, stains, and fading, and it won’t warp, rot, or need resealing.
What composite decking colours can I choose from?
More than twenty, across five ranges, including one for homes in bushfire-prone areas. They are all shown on this page. Tell us the one you like when we visit, and we will price your deck in it.
