Rough labor estimate

Labor only · end-of-2026-season rates

Rough estimate only — the exact quote comes after a site visit and supplier pricing. Materials are quoted by the supplier and paid directly to them; we never mark them up. All materials will be provided in a separate material list, and you can purchase the materials at your leisure, from whoever you choose. Rates may return to $32/$38/$42 for the 2027 season.

How the math works

The calculator multiplies your deck's square footage by our per-square-foot labor rate — $28 for ground-level builds, $32 for raised, $38 for tear-down and rebuild (end-of-2026-season rates) — then adds your selected extras: staircases at $500 each, concrete landing pads at $350 each (labor only), cable or glass railing upgrades, skirting, and foundations. The result is a rough labor estimate. Materials are quoted by the supplier and paid directly to them — we never mark them up.

What affects your number

Height off grade is the biggest lever — anything over 30 inches moves you to the $32 tier with deeper footings and more railing. Stairs, multiple levels, railing upgrades, and site conditions like slopes or ledge all move the number.
