Homeowners have tons of information at their fingertips when it comes to figuring out how much an outdoor project might cost. These online calculators and tools are great ways to identify a ‘general cost’ for your deck or porch project. There is so much information online about the price of a deck but most of it isn’t completely accurate or could be out of date. There are several considerations to keep in mind when looking at the costs for your outdoor project. The dollar amount that people find often only include the deck boards but doesn’t account for the following:

Railings
Materials such as Fasteners and Joist Hangars
Stairs
Labor
Warranty
Permits
Architectural Drawings
Dumpsters

It is important you have the most up-to-date information on whatever search engine you use. A good rule of thumb is to have money set aside in case of any unforeseen costs that may arise. Make sure that you know what is included and what isn’t before you select a contractor for your backyard project.

“We just had Outback do our complete deck teardown and rebuild (adding a covered patio), and we are extremely satisfied with how it turned out! The attention to the details and oversight of the construction teams took extra burden off of us. I can't thank Outback Deck enough for driving the project to completion so smoothly.”

Ross H.

“Outback was great to work with. They were transparent and kept us well-informed from the first sales meeting to completion of the project. The deck and patio they constructed are beautiful. The materials and work are high quality, and well in excess of any building codes. With the composite decking and aluminum railing, we can look forward to many years of enjoyment with little to no maintenance.”

Nick F.

“From start to finish, Outback Deck's attention to detail and eagerness to ensure our happiness was foremost. The crew was on time or early every day and the project manager, was always available to help with any questions or let me know where we stood with the schedule. We love our new deck!”

Lane R.

“Absolutely wonderful company to work with!!! The beautiful covered deck they made for us is just stunning. They use the finest craftsmen to complete their projects and their work is good value for the money. I recommend this company fully and enthusiastically.”

Janet H.

“The footings and bracing of the deck support are what impressed us most. BP did an excellent proposal, JR provide excellent follow through and CM kept the project on task. After watching the construction of our new deck, step by step, we could see the extra measures Outback Deck puts in their workmanship. If we ever have an earthquake, we will run to the deck for the safe place.”
