How Much Does Building a Deck Cost?

New Deck Construction Prices


Building a deck is a big project, but it adds a great outdoor living space to your home. It allows people to enjoy the outdoors and stay off the ground. It creates a great place to cook, relax, or hang out with friends and family. It is also provides a great point of entry to the home.

Outdoor Deck Costs

What will it cost to build your new deck? A deck usually consists of three basic things: a frame, planks, and railings. Now there are many materials on the market today natural and synthetic that you may use to build a deck. The most common deck that you will still find in the USA is made from southern yellow or cedar. The materials for a 500 square foot deck will be $4,500 to $5,500.

Constructing your deck yourself will save you considerable costs in labor, but do not attempt to do it yourself unless you have experience. You can plan on spending roughly the same on construction as you will on materials, if you hire a contractor to do the job. If the materials for your deck cost $5,000, expect to spend $5,000 on a contractor to build the deck. Receive multiple free quotations from multiple deck installation contractors.
