What Is the Average Price of a Deck

Building a deck is a great way to add value and enjoyment to your outdoor living space. But if you're thinking about adding one to your home, you may be wondering, "What is the average price of a deck?" The answer to this question depends on several factors.

Size and Material

One of the most significant factors that impact the cost of building a deck is its size and the type of material used. The larger the deck, the more it will cost. Additionally, different materials have different price points. For example, composite decking materials tend to be more expensive than traditional wood options. At Tekton we specialize in composite decking and “no-maintenance” railing options and seek to only use certain wood finishes when they really help the aesthetic of the project. 

Labor Costs

The cost of labor is another significant factor to consider. Depending on the complexity of the deck's design, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few several weeks to complete the project. Therefore, the cost of labor will vary based on the time required to complete the job. We are high quality builders who take pride in making sure the details of every project are built with precision.

Location

The cost of building a deck can vary based on location. Building codes and permit requirements differ from between jurisdictions. This can affect cost, though it usually is a minor variance. 

Average Price

A ground level, 16x12 deck with a picture frame border and fascia around the perimeter will cost approximately $10,000. This cost includes kiln dried treated lumber and a mid-range composite decking. The price of a deck can vary widely based upon many factors like adding stairs, railing, skirting, etc…The height of the deck, the location of the deck on the site, and the recent volatility of the material market are just some of the other factors that can also affect the price of a deck.

It's important to keep in mind that a deck is an investment in your home, and building one should not be taken lightly. By working with a reputable and experienced outdoor living contractor (such as Tekton Outdoor Living!), you can ensure that your deck is built to last and that you get the most value for your investment.

In conclusion, deck pricing can vary widely based upon the size, materials used, location, and labor costs. However, by considering these factors and working with a trusted contractor, you can create a beautiful outdoor living space that you'll enjoy for years to come.
