Meet Shannon Ursino, the builder behind Adelaide Decks
Adelaide Decks is owner led. Shannon Ursino built the business on over 15 years of hands-on experience, and he still stands behind every deck that leaves the yard: honest advice at the quote, reliable workmanship on site, and outdoor spaces built to last in South Australian conditions.
15+ years on the tools, one deck at a time
Shannon Ursino is the owner of Adelaide Decks, a locally owned and operated decking company proudly servicing homes across Adelaide. The business is built on more than 15 years of hands-on experience designing and constructing high-quality timber and composite decks.
That experience shapes how every job is run. A deck lives or dies by what is underneath it, so every build starts with a properly engineered subfloor and finishes with quality fixings and straight advice on looking after it. Forty degree summers, coastal salt air and Hills damp are planned for at the quote, not discovered later.
Adelaide Decks is fully licensed and insured, and Shannon takes pride in three things above all: honest advice, reliable workmanship, and decks that homeowners can enjoy for years to come.
The work speaks for itself
Two Adelaide backyards, start to finish. The subfloor you never see is where Shannon spends the most care, because it is what keeps a deck straight and solid for decades.
How Shannon works
Honest advice first
Not every backyard needs the most expensive board. Shannon will tell you where to spend and where to save, whether that is merbau, spotted gum, treated pine or composite.
Built from the subfloor up
Stumps, bearers and joists set out for your soil and span. It is the part nobody sees, and the part that decides whether a deck is still straight in twenty years.
Clear communication
A written quote, a clear timeframe and updates through the build. You always know what is happening on your job and why.
What Shannon builds
Timber and composite decks are the core of the business, but 15 years of carpentry means the whole outdoor space can be built by one team: pergolas, verandahs, outdoor rooms, screens and structures.
