Your Streamlined, Easy Deck Installation
Getting a new deck should be a once-in-a-lifetime project, and if you have no idea how much it should cost, you’re in the right place.
Below, we’ll break down the cost of the most popular decking materials and give you a breakdown of some projects we did and how much they cost.
You’ll understand how we price our decks, why we price them like that, and how it’s a 100% worth the investment.
Popular Decking Materials And Their Cost
Whether its cedar or different types of composite brands, here’s how much they cost.
Pressure Treated Lumber
PT Lumber is treated to better withstand weathering and moisture. It’s a popular choice for many because it’s affordable.
Price: $9.52 per sq. ft.
Envision Ridge Premium
We’re huge fans of Envision decking because they offer a great quality product at a price even lower than wood (only with our partnership).
Price: $9 per sq. ft.
Voyage Series MESA
The Voyage Series from Deckorators is a great choice for composite decking because it looks and functions great.
Price: $23 per sq. ft.
Venture Series Sandbar
This is the “best” grade Deckorators composite decking. It’s a great product, warranty, delivery, and has tons of options.
Price: $42 per sq. ft.
Popular Railing Materials And Their Cost
Whether its cedar, composite, or metal rails, how much they cost.
Wood Railing And Balusters
Cedar railing needs staining and it’s a hassle. The wood will also shrink or expand, causing it to weaken over time.
Price: $35 per ln. ft.
Composite Railing & Balusters
Sanctuary is the “better” option for composite decking. A great mix of product, price, and selections.
Price: $70 per ln. ft.
Cedar Rails & Metal Balusters
Skip the hassle of staining the spindles but still get the beauty of cedar wood railings. This is a popular option.
Price: $130 per ln. ft.
Metal Railing & balusters
The Westbury Tuscany Railing is our best type of railing. It has a lifetime warranty and is as sturdy as it gets.
Price: $213 per ln. ft.
Framing And Labor Costs
Whether it’s the PT framing, the stair strings, labor, or other add-ons, these are the costs.
KDAT Framing
Pressure Treated lumber is the most popular material for framing decks. It’s durable, affordable, and easy to maneuver and install.
Price: $16 per sq. ft.
Railing & Fascia Labor
Labor for installing the railing and fascia board is another item that will go into your quote. We include rails and fascia.
Price: $42 per ln. ft.
Framing & Decking Labor
Labor is by far the most expensive part of building a deck, and people always ignore it or pay little attention to it.
Price: $27 per sq. ft.
Stairs Labor
If your deck is elevated, the labor for installing stairs is another cost worth keeping in mind. For ground-level decks, stairs are not required.
Price: $600 per step

Heather M. Burke
We love our deck. More than we thought we would. Nate was great at helping get the design right and Emmanuel made sure it was build right and we were happy
Joe Bucci
I found Riverview Decks to be extremely easy to work with. They recently completed a deck and stair project for us. We gave them a mostly baked idea of what we wanted and they came up with a final design we just love that worked for our budget. Easily my favorite contractor I’ve worked with. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
Greg Berney
Nate and the entire team at Riverview Decks do an incredible job. Highly professional, fair pricing, and great service. They show up when they say the will, provide high quality in their work, and are always responsive. I highly recommend them for your deck work.
