Estimate a deck, patio, or outdoor living space by ZIP and square footage — materials, framing, railings, and footings — with an AI breakdown.
Outdoor / deck
Material choice (PT vs composite vs hardwood)
Composite is 2–3× pressure-treated. Hardwoods like ipe push higher. Material is the single biggest decision.
Height drives engineering
Anything over 30" off the ground needs engineered railings and stricter footings — costs scale with elevation.
Footings and frost depth
In northern climates, footings have to reach frost depth (often 42–48"), which is more concrete and more labor than homeowners expect.
