Deck building cost: what building costs.
How deck, porch, railing, and fence projects are priced, then a free fixed quote specific to your job. No surprises after the consult.
Priced by the project, not a sticker.
Decks, porches, railing, and fencing are priced on size, materials, and site conditions. We give you a ballpark on the call, then a free fixed number after a quick site consult. No two yards are alike, which is why we do not publish a single price list.
The number we put in writing is the number we bill. No day-of surprises.
Elevated & ground-level
Priced on size, height, and materials. Staircases and railing quoted as part of the build. See custom deck building.
Screened & covered
Roof structure, screening or walls, and finish work drive the number. See screened and covered porches.
Six things that change a quote.
- Size of the deck, porch, or fence line
- Height off the ground and the length of the stairs
- Materials: decking, framing, railing, and screening
- Railing style: cable, hog-wire, wood, or metal balusters
- Site access, slope, trees, and drainage
- Permits and any extras such as a fireplace or lighting
Want the long version? Our guides break each one down: how much does deck building cost, what a screened porch costs, and cable railing cost and options.
Comparing bids? Make sure each one lists the same scope, materials, and permit handling, or the totals are not comparable.
