A back deck built around the BBQ
A full hardwood entertaining deck running off the house, set out around a built-in outdoor kitchen and stone benchtop. The boards run clean to the edge and the whole space opens onto the yard.

Decks, renovations and custom builds across the Gold Coast. We keep a journal of the work, because the work is the pitch.
A Little Chippy is carpentry the old way: decks, renovations and one-off custom builds, made on site in real timber and finished by the people who turned up to do it.
Every job below is our own work on a real Gold Coast home. No stock photos, no filler. We keep it like a build journal so you can see exactly how we work before you ever call.
Each entry is one job, start to finish, with the photos we took on the day. Scroll through and have a look around.

A built-in timber storage bench with a decorative screen front, scribed into a tight courtyard so the bins and gear disappear and the deck still feels open. The kind of one-off that only works made on site.



Carpentry-led renovation work through a coastal home: a fresh open kitchen and dining space, clean joinery and finishing that lets the light and the timber floors do the talking.



A roofed outdoor living area added to the back of the house, with timber posts, a flush ceiling and a deck under foot so the family gets a proper undercover space that works all year.



Hardwood decks and covered outdoor rooms built to sit flush with the house and wear in beautifully over the years.
