Key takeaways

• Decking runs S$16–S$40 psf installed — composite at the lower band, hardwoods higher.
• Substructure and drainage matter more than the boards — pooling water rots everything.
• Timber needs periodic oiling; composite doesn't.
• HDB balcony decking must stay within reversible-works rules.

A deck turns a bare balcony or PES into the best room of the house. Here's what decking costs by material and the substructure detail that decides its lifespan.

Decking is a popular option in Singapore for balcony flooring as they can endure the outdoor climate and harsh exposure to sunlight and rain. Wood decking for your balcony exudes many benefits. The natural look gives your balcony a natural wooden aesthetic with a brown colour to complement the outdoor setting.

How to choose well

1. The key requirement. Substructure and drainage matter more than the boards — water pooling under a deck rots everything.
2. Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
3. Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
4. Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
