Jetty & Pontoon Restoration
Marine-Grade, Built-To-Last Jetty & Pontoon Work
Whether you're restoring a tired Gold Coast jetty or building a fresh pontoon from the piles up, our team handles waterfront timber and stainless-steel the way it should be done — fixings matched to salt exposure, structures matched to tide and load, finish matched to the canal it sits on. We're trade-qualified, insured to $5 million, and working to the standard set by founder Scott (Cert III Aquaculture, boat licence, qualified carpenter, 14+ years) for total peace of mind. Every job runs on a written fixed quote, one crew from first pile to final handrail, with permits and tidal windows planned before a tool comes out. For Gold Coast waterfront that walks out sharp and holds up against ten years of salt, sun and storms, you can put your trust in YardTaskers.

Benefits Of Our Jetty & Pontoon Services
Hold Up Through A Decade Of Salt & Tide
Waterfront timber takes a beating Gold Coast yards never see — tidal soak, salt spray, UV bouncing back off the canal. Our team picks marine-grade hardwoods or composites to suit your exposure, fixes with 316 stainless or hot-dip galvanised where the spec calls for it, and keeps the cosmetic finish sharp where most shortcut. You get a jetty or pontoon that still looks the part a decade from now.
Why We're The Go To Choice For Jetty & Pontoon Work On The Gold Coast
We don't just claim marine credentials — we've got the Gold Coast jetties, pontoons and waterfront timber to prove it. With Cert III Aquaculture, a boat licence and 14+ years on the local waterways, YardTaskers handles the work most trades won't step onto — trade-qualified, $5M insured, and proven where the tide chews lesser fixings apart. We work directly with waterfront homeowners, body corporates and builders — matching timber, stainless and timeline to the structure you've actually got, not a generic spec sheet. A written fixed quote, one crew from quote to sign-off, and permits and tides planned before work begins give you the peace of mind you want before the job starts. We're committed to finishing every waterfront job to the standard we'd leave on our own canal — restoration, structural repair, or full rebuild.

Frequently Asked Jetty & Pontoon Questions
Do I need a permit for jetty or pontoon work?
Often yes — Maritime Safety Queensland and your local council set the rules. Our team knows the common triggers (dimensions, new structures, extensions) and walks you through the permit path before anything starts.
Can you work on tidal and saltwater exposure?
Every day. Tidal windows, wet-weather plans and marine-grade fixings are part of the quote. Jobs are scheduled around the water — not forced through when conditions don't allow.
What fixings and timber do you use on waterfront jobs?
Hot-dip galvanised or 316 stainless fixings, depending on exposure and budget. Timber species matched to marine conditions — typically hardwoods like spotted gum, ironbark or merbau for decking, treated hardwood for structural. Stainless-steel framing where the build calls for it.
Structural repair or full rebuild — how do I know which I need?
We walk the jetty or pontoon with you, check piles, bearers and deck from above and below where possible. Honest call — repair if the bones hold, rebuild if they don't. You get a written path forward either way.
How long does a jetty restoration take?
Smaller jetty restorations run 3–6 days. Structural repairs and full pontoon rebuilds run 1–3 weeks depending on scope, permits and tides. Every job gets a written timeline before work starts.
Are you insured for waterfront work?
Yes — $5 million public liability insurance covering marine timber and stainless-steel work across the Gold Coast. Happy to provide a certificate of currency to you, your body corporate or your council if asked.
Can you match an existing jetty or deck finish?
Yes. Timber species, stain colour, oil sheen, board spacing — all matched where possible. Where older timber can't be matched exactly, we'll show you the closest options before committing.
