What a Composite Deck Costs and How Long It Takes
Projects start at $10,000 and most land between $15,000 and $45,000. Here is what moves the number, and what the calendar looks like from signed contract to final walkthrough.
From Contract to Walkthrough
Free In-Home Consultation
We measure, talk through the design, show you material samples and give you a ballpark range. A formal proposal with line-item pricing follows.
Drawings: 1 to 2 Weeks
After you sign, a licensed architect draws the plans and we prepare the HOA paperwork.
Township Permit: 4 to 8 Weeks
We submit the permit and coordinate every inspection.
Installation: 1 to 3 Weeks
A new build takes 1 to 3 weeks. A resurface takes about 4 weeks from signed contract to finished deck.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished project with you before final payment.
What Sets the Price
Size and Height
A small ground-level deck starts around $10,000. Larger, raised, covered or premium-board decks run $30,000 to $80,000.
New Deck or Resurface
Resurfaces run $10,000 to $50,000, depending on how much of the frame has to be rebuilt after the code upgrades.
Framing and Footings
We frame with #1 grade pressure-treated lumber, use butyl tape on the ledger and joists, and install helical pier footings where they fit.
Railing
Aluminum and vinyl systems price very differently, so the railing you choose moves the number.
Covered Structures
Roofs, gables and screened porches are scoped as their own line.
Permits and Drawings
Architect drawings, township permits and HOA paperwork are handled and itemized.
Priced Fairly the First Time
We are not the cheapest and not the most expensive. If a number needs to come down, the scope changes: a smaller footprint, a different board, no covered structure. Every proposal is line by line.
