How Much Does a Quality Deck Cost in the Durham Region?

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Deck in Durham Region?

While our pricing catalogue provides prices for popular designs in several sizes and material choices, many factors can influence the final cost of your deck:

1. Deck Size
   Larger decks naturally require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost. Whether you want a cozy sitting area or a multi-level space for entertaining, we can guide you on how size impacts price.

2. Materials
   From cost-effective pressure-treated lumber to premium composite boards, each material has its own price range, lifespan, and maintenance requirements. Our catalogue highlights budget, mid-range, and high-end materials to help you choose the best option for your needs.

3. Design Complexity
   Custom shapes, multiple levels, built-in seating, or integrated pergolas can add complexity—and cost—to a project. Our designs balance style with functionality, ensuring you get the most value for your investment. As a custom deck builder, we can modify any design you like by adding or removing features to ensure your dream deck meets your vision and budget.
