Pricing & Budgeting

Many homeowners are surprised by the cost of building a new deck. Pricing can vary widely based on factors like materials, size, layout, and design details. Because every deck is unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all estimate—but having general budget ranges can help set expectations early.

​

To help you plan, we’ve provided example price ranges for different deck types. Simple designs typically fall on the lower end, while custom layouts, unique shapes, or added features—such as under-deck finishes, pergolas, benches, planters, or gates—will increase overall cost. Smaller projects often have a higher cost per square foot.

As a general guideline, deck pricing typically ranges from:

• $75–$100+ per sq. ft. for composite or artificial materials

• $35–$55+ per sq. ft. for pressure-treated pine

• $45–$75+ per sq. ft. for Western Red Cedar
