| Azek Multi-Level Deck With Masonary Firepit |
| Amount: $39,000.00 |
| Posted by: L.E.B in Richfield, OH. | Posted: August 31st, 2010 09:08PM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 745 | Material: Azek Decking & Superior Rail Systems |
| Contractor: Rzonca Construction-The Deck & Patio Exp |
| We hired Rzonca Construction because of his knowledge on the AZEK decking material. He is very thorough and not pushy at all, when it comes to him spending time with you. He actually met with us, showed us some nice color designs that he designed for us and then went out for a ride with him, to check on some azek decks he did in the neighborhood that have been up for a few years. He was recommended by another happy customer.He came Highley Recommended. They were correct. We've interviewed 3 other contractors that we didn't feel comfortable with, especially when they started rushing us into signing something we didn't even have an estimate for...You can't go wrong hiring Mr. Rzonca and his team of trade professionals. |

| Sq Ft of Deck: 575 | Material: Composite |
| Contractor: chronic do-it-yourselfer |
| Working on my deck myself. So far all materials cost me under 8,000. Got everything in Lowes. The guy at Lowes told me I would have paid $25,000 to $30,000 for this kind of deck installed for me. |

| Azek Deck |
| Amount: $12,000.00 |
| Posted by: njbill in brunswick, NJ. | Posted: September 11th, 2010 05:09PM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 420 | Material: azek |
| Contractor: DIY |
| Location is central New Jersey, built it myself, 420 square foot 36" height, 2 stairs down and one additional with a 4'x4' platform for a total drop of 12' or so. Cost is materials only includes concrete for footings, rental fees (for equipment), debris hauling, hardware, railings, gates (have to small kids), decking and framing (and a new circular saw). Decking is Azek, railings are Tamrail vinyl composite. Probably overbuilt the framing - doubled 2x12 beams on 4x6 posts with 2x8 joists on 12" centers. Built evenings during summer 2010. |

| Sq Ft of Deck: 594 | Material: Trex Transcends |
| Contractor: Classic Remodeling |
| The contracter was the builder. He was there everyday and really paid attention to detail. Look for a salesmen that builds aswell. Our previous deck was sold by one guy and built by a wacky crew that didnt care what i thought. This new deck had no stairs with Radiance Rails. |

| Collapsed deck in CT -- need advice on replacement |
| Amount: $7,000.00 |
| Posted by: ctmoneymgr in Fairfield, CT. | Posted: February 15th, 2011 10:02AM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 270 | Material: PT + Redwood |
| Contractor: Allstate Claim |
| With all the recent snow/ice/rain, our 14' x 19' deck pulled out from the house and collapsed. After a visit from the insurance adjuster, we were given an estimate of about $7k for the replacement. This includes demo/dumpster and one set of stairs. The estimate works out to about $25/sq ft. Based on other posts, this seems a bit low. I was figuring somewhere north of $35/sq ft. I would appreciate any advice on handling next steps with contractor and/or adjuster. Many thanks! |

| Rooftop Deck |
| Amount: $0.00 |
| Posted by: PAC in SantaBarabar, CA. | Posted: February 24th, 2011 12:02PM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 300 | Material: Trex |
| To Orville32 in Santa Barabra, CA: You asked how much is a fair bid for a materials and labor for a roof top deck. I'd like to answer that with a question: How much is a fair price for a car? You see where I'm going with this? A price can not be given without a set of specifications and a GOOD set of concept plans at the very least (working blueprints would be better). You'll get dozens of different prices with dozens of different specifications by asking a blanket question like how much does a rooftop deck cost...unless specs are given, with a plan and a budget you will get prices from $1,000 to $100,000. |

| Simple deck job |
| Amount: $9,500.00 |
| Posted by: Voice of Reason in Washington, DC. | Posted: March 7th, 2011 02:03PM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 174 | Material: composite |
Sanity check: $9500 seems high for the following (with no demolition required):
- 14.5 ft wide x 12 ft deep and ~4' high.
- Understructure to be all pressure treated lumber with 6 x 6 posts and 2 x 10 joist beams and perimeter beams.
- Topside to be AZEK composite 2 x 6 decking boards with hidden screws.
- One set of stairs to have AZEK deck treads and AZEK white back plates.
- White AZEK perimeter banding to be used as well.
- Posts set in concrete 3' below ground surface.
That's almost $55/sf-- what seems reasonable to you?
Thanks~ |

| Sq Ft of Deck: 280 | Material: t5rex transcend w/ PT frame |
| Contractor: Pete Ruggerio |
| Just priced up 14x20 2 level deck with 10 footings, PT frame, trex transcend decking and rails w 6 steps staircase Material quotes ranged from 7800 -8300 from 3 lumber yards Thats about $30/sq/ft just for materials. 20 years in this trade and still shocks me at how much things cost. Final cost L&M be around 14-15K w/ permits and debris removal Decks are a lot of work and not all weekend warriors and handymen are capable of doing them. I have seen decks fall or pull right off the house because of this. Dont discount years of experience, quality and safety in place of saving a few bucks. Find me on Builders Pro if you like |

| Deck Rebuilding |
| Amount: $0.00 |
| Posted by: Stan Grabowski in Verona, NJ. | Posted: March 11th, 2011 10:03AM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 100 | Material: |
| Contractor: Small Home Repairs,LLC |
| The DECK has been said to the most dangerous of the home. This is a job that should be left to the professional. More than 1/2 of the 40 Million Decks estimated in the USA are in need of retrofitting, due to improper construction. Every project in the home improvement field has a range of value. There is a certain number that a professional has to get for their skill. I am talking about their expertise, and the legitimate operating costs of the business. A professional will take the entire project form start to finish for a homeowner including, layout, permits, ordering materials, and final cleanup. A smooth and seamless process with no if's, ands, or buts. A PT deck in the Northern New Jersey is worth about $25-$30, a composite deck project is worth $45-$50 a sq foot. Too many homeowners value the project on price. You get what you pay for, plain and simple. There is big difference in the quality of work performed by real carpenters vs a handyman or jack of all trades. Inexperience and low ball prices produce low quality results, regardless of the material. What the homeowner needs to be aware of is that the quality of work is important to the home's value. In these times all homeowners should strive to retain or add the most improved value as they can. Don't decide on price alone. Go look at completed jobs look especially look at the workmanship, check references, talk to their past customers. By hiring a professional you will get the highest return for your dollars spent. |

| 20 yr old southern Pine support structure |
| Amount: $0.00 |
| Posted by: Treated Southern Pine in Exton, PA. | Posted: March 14th, 2011 07:03PM |
| Sq Ft of Deck: 450 | Material: Cedar over Southern Pine |
| I am removing 20 year old cedar laid over top of pressure treated Southern Pine beams. I have replaced a dozen cedar 5/4's x 16' over the last few years and will need another dozen or so before this summer. Decided to pull up the cedar and put down a new deck and rails (cedar or pressure treated, have yet to decide). The pressure treated lumber looks good from underneath but I want to see it from above once the decking is removed. Deck is about 4 feet above ground. Any opinions on whether I should reuse the support structure sight unseen by you, the reader? Am I being foolish by not replacing everything simply based on the age of the structure. Opinions welcomed. Thx |
