Instant estimate for deck building or replacement. Covers materials, labor, stairs, railing, and permits.
2026 rates based on national contractor pricing, adjusted to your selected local cost level. Get 3 bids before committing — prices vary 20–35% between contractors.
Deck costs range from $15-35 per sq ft for pressure-treated wood, $25-50 for composite decking, and $30-75+ for hardwoods like ipe. Multi-level decks, railings, and stairs increase costs.
Most cities require permits for decks over 30 inches high or attached to the house. Freestanding ground-level decks under 200 sq ft may not need permits, but always check local building codes.
Pressure-treated wood decks last 10-15 years with maintenance, composite decks 25-30 years, and hardwood decks (ipe, mahogany) 25-40+ years. Regular sealing and maintenance extends lifespan significantly.
