Deck Building & Repair FAQ
How much does a deck cost?
A new deck typically runs $4,000–$12,000, set by size and material, pressure-treated is the budget option; composite costs more up front but needs little maintenance. Our estimator ranges it by size.
Wood or composite decking?
Pressure-treated wood is cheapest to build but needs regular sealing; composite costs more up front but resists rot and fading and rarely needs more than a wash. Over 15+ years composite often wins on total cost.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Usually yes for anything attached to the house or above a certain height, a permit ensures proper footings and ledger attachment, the two most common failure points. A licensed builder pulls it and builds to code.
