The cost to build a deck can vary significantly based on the materials, size, and design complexity. Wood decks will cost around $15 to $25 per square foot. This includes both the materials and labor. So for a 200-square-foot wood deck, expect to pay between $3,000 and $5,000. While wood decks offer a classic look, it requirea regular maintenance to prevent rot and decay.
Composite decks, which are known for their durability and low maintenance, come at a higher initial cost. The average cost for composite decking is between $25 and $45 per square foot. Therefore that same 200-square-foot deck will cost between $5,000 and $9,000 for a composite material, such as Trex.
