How much does it actually cost to build a cedar deck?
If you're considering replacing your old deck, you might be surprised by how much the materials, size, and design can impact the final price.
In our latest video, we're taking you behind the scenes of a complete cedar deck rebuild, including a **17' x 10' deck with a staircase, landing, and custom railing.**
We're breaking down:
• Why a typical cedar deck build can cost $20,000 to $25,000
• The framing, footings, and materials we use
• How cedar compares to composite decking in price and maintenance
• Why we recommend black metal spindles with cedar railing
• How stair placement and deck layout affect your outdoor space
• What homeowners should consider before choosing cedar over composite
Cedar is a beautiful option that gives you the natural look of real wood at a lower upfront cost than composite. But there's a tradeoff: ongoing maintenance.
If you're planning a new deck and trying to decide which material makes the most sense for your home and budget, this is a great place to start.
