How Much Does A New Deck Cost?
We get a lot of “new deck” requests and the most popular question is, “how much does it cost?” Of course every deck is a bit different but the simple answer is from $35+ a square foot. There are many factors that increase and decrease a deck’s cost. How high is the deck off the ground? What materials do you want the decking to be? Composite material will add over two times the cost of regular treated lumber decking. That being said, composite materials are a superior product for deck construction.
Another aspect that can result in you deck costing a bit more is site access. Can your contractor easily transport materials and equipment to your deck location? Do you want a custom pattern made with your decking? Maybe a family logo or a favorite symbol? All thing we can do, but will add to your cost. So in conclusion your deck price will vary but a good starting point is $35+ a square foot for treated deck installed and $45+ installed for composite deck installed.
