M.Ewald Building designs and builds timber decks, deck extensions, outdoor entertaining areas and Queenslander verandahs across Brisbane. A well planned, properly built and fully finished deck gives you a cool place to entertain in summer and a sunny retreat in winter.
Whether it's a new deck attached to the back of the house, a low deck for an entertaining area, a pool deck or a verandah on a Queenslander, we build it to handle Queensland's weather, which can be hard on both new and old decks.
We also help with the design. If you're unsure about style, materials or timeframes, Michael can talk you through the options and help you make the most of spaces that aren't being used.
Every deck starts with how you want to use it. These are the options we build most.
New decks and deck extensions off the back of the house, covered or open, low to the ground or up high.
Pool decks, lounge areas and undercover outdoor kitchens planned for real use and year-round shelter.
Verandahs and balustrades that suit the house. Having worked extensively on Queenslanders, this is work we know well.
Extending an upstairs deck can add entertaining space without building into the backyard.
Garden decks, gazebos and decks separate from the house, placed to make the most of the yard.
Michael specialises in external timber stairs, both traditional and modern, with timber balustrades built to match the deck or verandah.
On this Balmoral Queenslander in 2025, we built a new verandah balustrade and new timber stairs as part of the renovation, then finished the timber decking.
The verandah now opens off the new kitchen through a servery window, so it's part of everyday living, not just the view.

From bare frame to a finished deck beside the pool, plus a covered deck upstairs.
A clear process that takes your deck from first visit to handover without missing the important details.
The owners didn't want to lose their large backyard to a downstairs extension, so we extended their elevated deck instead. Wire balustrade keeps it safe without blocking the view or the afternoon breeze, and the timber was weather sealed to keep maintenance down.
A pool-side entertaining area with lounge seating and hidden storage for pool gear, a modern glass pool fence, and an undercover outdoor kitchen and dining area that can be used all year round.
"We first contracted Michael for his speciality skills to construct character colonial stairs, his outstanding work lead over the last six years to employing him to reconstruct existing decking, building character gates ... and turning our thoughts into plans for our large deck /carport."
"Michael replaced my traditional front stairs. Using top grade hardwood and traditional hand craftsmanship, he replicated the existing stairs with only the changes I had requested. He worked on time and to quote and cleaned up at the end of the job."
"We are very happy with the completed living room extension and rear deck and have since recommended m.ewald building to friends looking to complete similar works."
Based in Greenslopes, building decks, verandahs and outdoor areas across Brisbane, especially the inner south.
