How much do Custom Decks Cost? |
|
Answer:
Estimating the cost of custom decks is tricky. A custom deck is likely to be one which is non-standard (i.e., rectangle or square shape). It might have a few angles built in, or designed with multi-levels, or with a turning staircase, or special railings, or special structural supports may be needed. The best way to get an accurate estimate for a custom deck is to contact a reputable contractor who will provide one free of charge. That said, we can perhaps come up with some per-square-foot estimates to help with budget planning. For standard pressure-treated basic decks, the per-square-foot estimate obtained at improvenet.com, based on the following details, is approximately $15-$18 per square foot. Description: 120 sq. ft.; Standard 5/4" pressure-treated wood; one level; 5-10 feet above ground; attached to house; no slopes involved; standard railings (32 ft.); no lighting. Now, let's customize the same deck by changing the material to Redwood, adding a 2nd level, deluxe railings, and economy lighting. Estimated cost jumps to $23-$28 per square foot. Description: 120 sq. ft.; Redwood 5/4"; two level; 5-10 feet above ground; attached to house; no slopes involved; deluxe railings (32 ft.); economy lighting. Trackback(0)
