FAQ

Deck quote questions, answered

How much does a deck cost in 2026?+
Nationwide median for a 12×16 ft (192 sq ft) pressure-treated deck is $5,500–$8,500. Composite (Trex, TimberTech) doubles it to $10,500–$16,000. Cedar lands in between at $7,500–$12,000. Our calculator factors in your local lumber/composite rates.
What's included in a deck quote?+
Lumber or composite boards, joists, ledger board, posts, footings, fasteners, railings, stairs, and labor. Premium upgrades — fiber-cement skirting, hidden fasteners, built-in lighting — push the total up. We itemize so you know what each component costs.
Is the quote free?+
100% free. We make money only when you choose to connect with one of our partner deck contractors. Take the quote and shop it around to any builder you'd like.
How accurate is your measurement?+
We use satellite imagery + your specified deck dimensions. Typically within 5–8% of an on-site measurement. You can also adjust shape and size in the tool before unlocking.
Can I use the quote to negotiate?+
Yes — that's exactly what most homeowners do. Our number is the median fair-market price. When you call local builders, you already know the floor — any quote materially above is markup, anything below is usually a corner being cut.
Composite or pressure-treated — which is cheaper?+
Pressure-treated lumber is the cheapest upfront (~$5.50/sqft installed). Composite costs 2x ($10–$15/sqft installed) but lasts 25–35 years vs 10–15 for pressure-treated. Lifecycle cost slightly favors composite if you plan to stay 10+ years.
