0:00 Deck cost in Dayton, OH
Planning a new deck in Dayton, Ohio? We're Dayton Custom Decks, deck builders in Dayton, Ohio, and here's what a custom deck costs.
0:08 The short answer: 16x20 deck
The short answer. A typical 16 by 20 deck, that's 320 square feet, plans out around $11,500 to $18,000 in pressure treated wood, and $19,000 to $29,000 in composite.
0:22 Price per square foot
That's roughly $36 to $56 a square foot for treated, and $59 to $91 for composite. Those are planning ranges, not a quote.
0:30 Size
So what moves the number? Size, first. A 300 square foot deck and a 400 square foot deck sit thousands of dollars apart.
0:38 Height
Then height, because taller decks need longer posts, longer stairs, and more railing.
0:44 Railing and stairs
Railing is priced by the foot, and the style matters. Each stair run adds roughly $800 to $2,500.
0:51 What should never make a quote cheaper
What should never make a quote cheaper? Skipping the footings below the frost line. Or skipping the permit. A low bid that leaves those out just hands you a repair bill later.
