Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Permit fees in Georgia typically range from $200 to $600 per permit, with additional costs of $100 to $300 for plan reviews and inspections. These are mandatory expenses that must be included in the overall project quote for legal and safe construction.
Labor costs for deck building can range from $8 to $22 per square foot, depending on factors such as the complexity of the design, the contractor's experience, and the specific site conditions. This labor cost is typically included in the overall per-square-foot pricing provided to homeowners.
Composite decking is typically found in mid-range custom deck projects, which can range from $30-$40 per square foot. While it may have a higher upfront material cost than basic pressure-treated wood, its durability and low maintenance can offer long-term value for homeowners, influencing the overall project pricing.
Many contractors, such as Fowler Exteriors, advertise free quotes to attract clients. While the initial consultation and estimate are often free, be aware that detailed design work or extensive project planning might incur charges, especially if the project doesn't proceed. Always clarify what is included in a 'free quote'.
A custom deck project falls into the 'Premium' tier ($40–$46 per sq ft) due to the use of high-end materials (e.g., exotic hardwoods, advanced composite systems), complex custom design features, multi-level structures, integrated lighting, custom railings, and bespoke architectural elements. These choices require specialized labor and higher material investment.
