​This beautiful redwood deck was constructed as part of a larger project at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We were hired as a deck contractor and to do all of the rough and finish carpentry in all phases.

Deck contractor prices vary widely depending on the type of wood you choose and the size and configuration of the deck. The average price to build a deck with pressure-treated pine is about $30 to $35 per square foot. That price includes the wood planks, supporting framework, railings and all labor costs. Cedar, redwood or wood composites are more expensive, ranging from $35 to $60 per square foot installed.

  • 16x20 foot deck made with pressure-treated wood would cost $9,600 to $11,200.
  • 20x20 deck using the same material would cost $12,000 to $14,000.
  • 16x20 deck using premium wood or wood composites would cost $11,200 to $19,200.
  • 20x20 deck using premium materials would cost $14,000 to $24,000.

A deck contractor can use a variety of materials from treated lumber, composite lumber, composite material, and Aluminum. Lumber may be treated pine, cedar, teak, mahogany, ipe or other hardwoods. Artificial decking products are more widely known by different brands like Trex and Azek.


The deck is generally an outdoor space built above the ground and connected to the main building.  It is generally enclosed by a railing for safety. Access may be from the main structure through doors and from the ground via a stairway. A deck contractor can build over steep areas or rough ground that is otherwise unusable. Decks can also be covered by a roof or pergola to provide shelter from the elements. Commercial buildings may also have decks on the upper floors of the building which may be open to the public as observation decks or ground level outdoor seating areas for bars and restaurants.


Roof deck is a term used in urban areas referring to deck structures built on top of existing building roofs. These spaces can be found on both commercial and residential buildings and are often utilized as urban landscape areas. With this trend in outdoor living increasing, many landscape architecture firms and deck contractors have begun to specialize in the design and construction of these specialized spaces.
