Good Deck Builders Start With Solid Framing

Most decks frames will first be built with pressure treated lumber.  The complexity of your deck design could make the framing part really easy, or much more difficult.  Typically single level, smaller in size decks can be framed rather quickly.  If you have a multi-level deck, with many angles and other provisions then the framing can sometimes take several days.  It’s important your deck have rock solid framework that is supported correctly on firm, level ground.

How Much Will A New Deck Cost?

That’s a good question and not something that can truly be answered on a website.  We’d have to come and look at your specific deck building project to provide you with an accurate price.  For the sake of this article if a homeowner was prepared to spend $3000 – $10,000+ they can have a very nice deck built with a variety of different options likely available to them.  Obviously the price will increase as the size of the deck grows or if you have a difficult property to work on that might need additional landscaping work, the price will also increase.

The specific decking materials you choose are also going to greatly affect the price of the deck with pressure treated lumber often being the most affordable option for Wisconsin homeowners.
