On average, homeowners in Phoenix spend between $4,500 and $7,200 to build a deck. Total costs typically range from $1,800 for a basic ground-level wood deck to over $21,000 for a large, multi-level composite deck.
Most deck builders in Phoenix charge between $15 and $60 per square foot. Basic pressure-treated wood decks sit at the lower end ($15-$30/sq ft), while premium composite or PVC decks range from $40 to $60+ per square foot.
Composite and PVC decking are highly recommended for Arizona's intense sun. While pressure-treated wood is cheaper upfront, materials account for about 30% of the total cost, and composite stands up much better to UV radiation and requires less maintenance.
Labor typically accounts for about 38% of the total project cost in Phoenix. Local labor rates for skilled trades average around $43 per hour, which translates to roughly $11 to $25 per square foot for installation.
