What affects deck price

Ten factors that move the number.

Two decks with the same square footage can land far apart. Here's why.

  1. 01

    Size

    Square footage drives material and labor more than anything else.

  2. 02

    Decking material

    Pressure-treated wood is the lowest cost; Trex Transcend and PVC are premium.

  3. 03

    Framing condition

    Reusing a sound existing frame can save money; failing framing must be replaced.

  4. 04

    Deck height

    Elevated decks need taller posts, more bracing, and longer stairs.

  5. 05

    Stairs

    Each run of stairs adds stringers, treads, and railing.

  6. 06

    Railings

    Linear feet and system type (aluminum, composite, cable, glass) add up quickly.

  7. 07

    Demolition

    Removing and hauling away an old deck is a separate line item.

  8. 08

    Site access

    Tight side yards, fences, and slopes add labor time.

  9. 09

    Design complexity

    Angles, multiple levels, inlays, and picture-framing take more time and material.

  10. 10

    Permits & code

    Permit fees and code-required details vary by municipality.
