Can I get some help from you construction guys?

[Penguinfan]

Ballpark, what would this kind of deck cost me? I have a porch on the back of the house now that would need removed.

I want to hire someone to do it. How much for everything?

 

[Sportsaholic]

$10,00-$12,000 min......

 

[MadJack]

Probably in the neighborhood of about $10 a square foot.

Go to Lowes and ask the guys back in the contractors section for contact info on some good sub-contractors.

Get a quote from a few and go look at some decks they built.

Ask for a price including materials and one with you supplying the materials.

Careful, there are a lot of shit contractors out there.

This is right where I thought and probably a little over my budget. I told the wife $10,000 and she :facepalm:

Is that for everything? Labor, rip out old porch and haul away?

Permits, disposal of old deck, cement support pads, pressure treated wood.....You're looking at a 5-6 day project......Looks nice though....:0008

Yes. I had one done at $6 a square foot, just a couple feet off grade with no railing. You should be able to get it done for $10.

You can save some money with a more simple railing and no risers for the stairs.

Looks like a 30x12 double deck with landing & stairs.....Ballpark 1,000 sq......You can get that done for $6,000 where you live....:shrug:

.

No railing? Is that so you can piss off the back of it? No obstruction?

No, about $10 a foot. Mine has no railing and doesn't have all those steps.

I'm not counting the concrete patio on the bottom but you can get that done for about $6 a foot too.

Lol

No.

I'm saying he can get it done for $10 a square foot.

 

[MadJack]

And he probably has about 450 ft.?

 

[Penguinfan]

And he probably has about 450 ft.?

25x12 both levels so 600 SQ FT total plus the concrete and then the steps I assume aren't in that equation nor is the railing.

Oh, and gonna need a doorway put in the second floor so you can access the top deck from the house.


When you say $6 a foot for the concrete slab is the price you would charge to do everything? Prep the ground, pour and finish?

 

[MadJack]

And you have to add up the square footage of the landing and the steps.

 

[yyz]

Just fucking move.

Are you saying that deck has three levels?

Stairwell has a landing....:0008

 

[Old School]

in 6 months it will need to be treated w/Behr 2-1 enhanser and then stained..

a grand without even thinking about and more if the railings are all wood instead of the steel 1/1's

ain't building that bad boy for less than 10 grand

travel on down to HomeDepot and price those 6x6 pressure treated/weatherproof.

beautiful work there..ain't no jackleg contruct thaat..

but you can be damn sure one would try and fvuk it all up.

No, I said that wrong.

Ground level will be concrete ( would like to sink the hot tub if possible). Second story is deck.
