Great deck pricing tips!

 

-When planning your deck, it's important to consider the height and whether a permit is needed. Additionally, decks over 4 feet may require screw piles, which can add to the cost. Keep these factors in mind to ensure your deck fits your budget and space.

​

-Another thing to consider is layout, a smaller deck may seem cheaper because of the smaller footprint.  But the railing can make it less so.   A 12' deep by 12' wide deck will require 40' of railing where a 16' wide by 12' deep deck requires 44'.  If your leaning towards Aluminum railing the extra 48 square feet of space may not cost as much more as you think.   When you combine railing with height, anything under 2' doesn't require railing.  That could add up to a big savings.  

​

-Lastly is maintenance.   If you're looking for affordable a wood deck on footing pads is the way to go.  Keep in mind it will need to be stained every 3-5 years after the build.   It most likely will require releveling at some point as well.   When it comes to new development areas, the ground surrounding a new build settles over the first few years.   The clay bed also can expand or contact during wet or dry years.  If you are handy sort or don't mind paying someone to do the maintenance it's a good option to get off the ground.   If you prefer no headaches down the road, Composite on Screw piles is the way to go.

​

That's a lot to consider, to make the process easier to get started.  I've provided multiple size estimates listed below.   If your not sure what is best for the space.  Give me a call, I can stop by to discuss anytime.
