Composite Decking – Pricing and Installation Cost Checklist
- Get at least 3-5 estimates before hiring a Composite Decking contractor — estimates are typically free, unless it’s a service call for a repair.
- Expect the Composite Decking prices to fluctuate between various companies – each and every company have different operation expenses and over-head.
- Try to get prices in late Fall, early winter – you should expect aggressive pricing discounts by waiting for a contractor’s down season.
- Try to budget and additional 7-15% more on top of what our calculator gives out – I.e; difficult configurations, patterns, the additional complexity of your home will add to the Composite Decking costs.
- Visit every supply house that sell your particular brand of Composite Decking and try to negotiate a better price with each supplier – I save on average 20%.
- Remember, there are multiple styled homes in the U.S – from: Contemporary, colonial, cape-cod style, ranch, bungalow, victorian, etc. So keep that in mind and try to budget a little more, before starting your Composite Decking project.
