I just bid a 16X18 standard 45s on two sides for $5600 and lost it to a cheaper bid. I wrote them an email to see what they charged and they havent replied. I hate hack bidders. I will let you know if they reply.

I would charge 5900 for the deck extra for the stairs. Won't have too much trouble getting that in Richmond VA. Murph

Onehitch, where in eastern pa are you from? I am from eastern pa too and based on your first post you are leaving at least $7-$8/sq' on the table with that kind of pricing, the only reason I am even saying anything is because I don't want to hear it from customers how "onehitch only charges x, how come you are so much more". I assume you are getting your materials from AD Moyer???

A+Carpenter

Houston Tx $8370.00

And thats with all the extras. Bench around the spa if need be.

Gentlemen this is a base price for a base model deck for me. i might build one or two of these per year ,and with my crew i can easily build one of these a day ,footer to cleanup. i have built three 30k+ decks this year and about five 10-15k decks. Bone saw i buy from several suppliers depending on their price per brand. i haven't ever bought from a.d. moyer. and i dont bid in chester county. A+ maybe you can come work for me.

A base price for a base deck here in Toronto, Canada would be around $5700, labour and materials.
One or two companies up here would try for around $6000. Unfortunately, there are a lot of "tailgaters" (off duty police or firemen, weekend warriers, unlicenced "carpenters" etc) who will work for cash and don't understand the concept of profit. Relatively speaking, I'll sometimes(often, actually), come up against someone who'll do it for $4000. So, of course this holds the price down for the rest of us.

We'd have to build it differently, however.
minimum 4 footings, 14-16" dia, 48" deep.
flashing is not required (most of our houses are brick)
Railing is normally 42" high, with 4x4 posts 48" o/c. No notching of railing posts or supports for beams
-galv nails and hangers.
Also, we can't get 20' long material, so we'd have to piece together 16' boards
This includes labour of $1900(we pay anywhere from $6-10 a sq ft, depending on the deck). A two man crew would take about 3 days.

Some interesting price differences...I never expected that there'd be several thousand between the high and the low. I'm curious as to the profit of each area. I work by myself and I would have pretty much 4 days into that job without breaking to much sweat. Materials would cost right around $2,000 leaving me with aproximately $4600....and I'm one of the lower bidders here.

Glasshousebltr

6500 firm if I'm busy, if not I'd put out a buy it now in the mid 5s.

2 days tops
