Realistic ranges by size · Deck-first pricing · Knoxville & East Tennessee

Most projects fall within predictable ranges.
Every deck is custom — but size is the biggest driver of cost, so we group typical investment by project size.
Exact pricing comes from a consultation, where we look at your space, materials, and site conditions. Before you get there, these ranges help you see where your project is likely to land — and whether our work fits your budget.
Four ranges, by project size.
Each range reflects the full build for that size — structure, surface, railings, and the features typical at that scale.

Small Deck
100–200 sq ft
Ideal for smaller backyards, grill areas, or simple platform decks.

Medium Deck
200–350 sq ft
The most common project size — room for stairs and upgraded materials.

Large Deck
350–600 sq ft
Multiple zones, larger stair systems, and more advanced structural needs.

Custom / Estate
600+ sq ft or complex
Multi-level designs, roof structures, and integrated lighting.
Why two decks the same size can price differently.
Size sets the range; these factors decide where a project lands within it.
- Deck size & layout — the footprint and shape of the build.
- Height & structure — elevation and the structural requirements it drives.
- Material selections — decking line and framing choices.
- Railing systems — aluminum, cable, or glass infill.
- Stairs & access — stair runs, landings, and access points.
- Site conditions & access — terrain and how reachable the site is.
- Demolition & disposal — removing and hauling an existing structure.
