FAQ
Questions, answered
How much does a deck cost?+
Installed, roughly $30–$45 per sq ft for pressure-treated pine, $40–$60 for cedar, $45–$70 for composite and $60–$100 for hardwood. A 12 × 16 ft (192 sq ft) composite deck typically lands around $8,600–$13,400 before stairs and upgraded railings.
What should a deck quote include?+
The size and height, decking material and brand, framing lumber and joist spacing, footings and their depth, ledger attachment and flashing, railings (linear feet and style), stairs, fasteners, permit and inspection, removal of an old deck, cleanup, a start date, payment schedule and warranty. If two quotes differ a lot, compare these lines before the totals.
How do I get free deck quotes?+
Enter your address above and trace where the deck will go. You see pressure-treated, composite and hardwood prices for that size right away, and can ask us to pass your request to a local deck builder. Then get two or three builders to price the same scope.
Composite or pressure-treated — which is cheaper?+
Pressure-treated is cheaper to build; composite costs roughly 40–60% more but needs no staining and lasts 25–30 years against 15–20. Over ten years or more the gap narrows.
Is the estimate a firm price?+
No. It is the traced area priced at typical installed rates. Height, stairs, railings, soil and permits move the final number — which is why a builder confirms it on site.
