Common Questions

Yes, a permit is required if the deck is more than 2 feet (600 mm) above ground level or has a surface area larger than 36 square feet. Permit fees typically range from $400 to $2,500 depending on the project's declared value.

Pressure-treated wood is the most economical at $30–$50 per sq ft installed. Composite decking (like Trex) costs significantly more upfront at $55–$85 per sq ft, but saves approximately $3,000–$5,000 in maintenance costs over 20 years.

A standard 200 sq ft deck typically costs between $8,000 and $18,000 for pressure-treated wood, or $15,000 to $25,000 for mid-range composite materials.

Decks must generally be located in the back or side yard, at least 4 feet from side property lines, and cannot be within 25 feet of the rear property line without a zoning variance, which costs approximately $600.
