Custom wooden decks in Provence

Yes. Nicolas handles every project personally and speaks English, from the first phone call to the end of the build. Emails can be in English, and he will go through the quote with you in English.

Aix-en-Provence and the Pays d'Aix, the Luberon (Gordes, Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Ménerbes, Roussillon), the Alpilles (Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Eygalières, Maussane, Les Baux) and the Var (Lorgues, Cotignac, Tourtour, Fayence). There are never any travel charges, and the site visit is always free.

As a guide, allow 150 to 300 EUR per m² (about 14 to 28 EUR per sq ft) for thermally modified Nordic pine and 190 to 350 EUR per m² (about 18 to 33 EUR per sq ft) for itauba, materials and installation included (VAT included). The final price depends on the surface, the ground preparation and the finishes. Nicolas gives an exact figure in a free, no-obligation quote after visiting your home.

An itauba deck (durability class 5) lasts 30 to 50 years with minimal upkeep. Thermally modified Nordic pine (class 4) lasts 20 to 30 years. In both cases, a yearly clean is enough to keep it looking good.

On average 2 to 4 weeks between signing the quote and the end of the installation, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Nicolas builds every deck himself and deliberately limits the number of jobs he takes on, so it is best to get in touch early before the busy season.

A ground-level deck usually needs no formalities. A pergola of 5 to 20 m² (about 55 to 215 sq ft) generally requires a prior declaration (déclaration préalable) at the town hall, and a building permit above 20 m². Rules can be stricter in protected areas. Nicolas explains what applies to your property during the site visit.

A deposit is requested when you sign the quote, to order the timber. The balance is paid at the end of the job. The terms are written clearly on the quote. The site visit and the quote are always free and without obligation.
