A Father & Son Team Who Take Pride in Every Nail
Bill Ginos has spent 25 years building decks and outdoor structures across Europe and Melbourne. He started Ask Bill Carpentry to do things his way — high standards, quality materials, no shortcuts, no subcontractors.
Petros, Bill's son, works alongside him on every job. Same two people, from the first nail to the final coat of paint. Fully licensed, fully insured — and when you call, you actually get Bill on the phone.
What We Build
From ground-level timber decks to full outdoor living rooms — we design and build it all.
Timber Decks
Hardwood and treated pine decks built for Melbourne's climate. From simple ground-level platforms to multi-level entertaining areas.
Composite Decks
Low-maintenance composite decking that looks great and lasts decades. Perfect for busy families who want beauty without the upkeep.
Pergolas & Shade Structures
Custom timber pergolas with roof sheets, gutters, and full painting included. All done in-house — no separate roof plumber, no separate painter.
Outdoor Living Areas
Full outdoor room builds combining decks, pergolas, and covered entertaining — your complete outdoor space, built by one team.
Why Melbourne Homeowners Choose Bill
We do things differently — and our clients notice the difference.
Full Package — One Team
Frame, roof sheets, gutters, painting — Bill and Petros do it all themselves. No subcontractors, no strangers on your property.
Pre-Painted in Our Workshop
We cut, number, and paint every timber in our own workshop before arriving on site. Most builders skip this step — we don't.
Fixed-Price Quotes
No surprise invoices. Every quote is fixed upfront so you know exactly what you're paying before a single board goes down.
No Cheap Materials
We only use quality, durable materials. Your deck or pergola is built to last — not just to look good on handover day.
Father & Son — You Know Who's On Site
It's Bill and Petros, every job. That's the accountability you get with a family business — and why our clients keep referring us.
Free On-Site Consultation
Not sure what will work in your space? We come out, take a look, and give you honest advice — no charge, no obligation.
Our Work
Every project is a custom build. Here's a selection from our portfolio.
Our Workmanship Guarantee
Every deck and pergola we build comes with a written workmanship guarantee. If anything we've built isn't performing the way it should within the warranty period, we come back and fix it — at no cost to you. No arguments, no fine print.
What Our Clients Say
Don't take our word for it — hear from Melbourne homeowners who've lived it.
“Bill and Petros built us a stunning merbau deck off the back of our home. The craftsmanship is incredible — every board is perfectly laid and the timber was already painted when they arrived. Highly recommend.”
Sarah T.
Frankston, Melbourne
“We got three quotes and chose Ask Bill. Their process is completely different — everything done in-house, no subcontractors. The pergola looks amazing and was done exactly on schedule.”
Mark & Julie R.
Mount Eliza, Melbourne
“Second time using Ask Bill Carpentry. First job was a deck, this time a full pergola with roof and gutters. Both times: quality work, fair price, and Bill is a straight shooter. Won't use anyone else.”
Dave K.
Mornington, Melbourne
