This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A wood deck uses wood for both the frame and the surface. Most are pressure-treated pine, which is treated to resist rot and insects, and some homeowners pay more for cedar or a tropical hardwood on the surface while the frame stays pressure-treated. The range above does not split out cedar, so ask for a price in each wood.
Wood needs care that composite does not: cleaning, a coat of stain or sealer from time to time, and replacing boards that crack or split as they age. Deck staining is a separate job, covered with painting and pressure washing.
The composite deck page covers decks with composite boards on top, and the new deck range covers estimates that did not name a material.
What moves the price
- Board thickness
- Thicker boards cost more apiece but can be stiffer underfoot. Thinner boards keep the price down but may call for joists set closer together.
- Fasteners and hardware
- Coated or stainless screws and the hangers and ties that hold the frame together add up, and treated lumber usually calls for fasteners made for it.
- Wood or metal balusters
- Wood balusters keep the price down. Metal balusters set in a wood rail cost more but look slimmer and need less upkeep.
- Ground-contact lumber
- Posts and framing close to the soil usually call for lumber rated for ground contact, which costs more than lumber made for use above ground.
- Sealing cut ends
- Some builders brush preservative on every cut end of treated lumber. It takes time, but it protects the wood where the treatment is thinnest.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each deck builder before you compare prices:
- Is the decking pressure-treated pine, cedar or another wood, and what grade?
- Is the lumber for the posts and low framing rated for ground contact?
- Does the price include a first coat of stain or sealer, and when should it go on?
- What screws and hangers will you use with treated lumber?
- What upkeep should I plan for in the first years, and do you offer staining later?
