I built a 16' x 31' deck in Central Florida in late 2006 with premium 1-1/4" x 6" deck wood, 4x4 posts sunk in concrete, 2x6 pt beams 24" on center for right around $1900.00. I did all the work myself in about 5 days, start to finish. This deck is raised about 16" off the ground and is 2-tiered.

Decks all depend on materials, on which the cost can vary wildly, and whether you can do the work yourself. Double the material cost if you plan on having a contractor do the work. Also check for code and permitting requirements.
I did a lot of research before beginning my project!

Hope this helps!

The average cost to build a deck can vary depending on factors such as size, materials used, labor costs, and location. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $20 to $60 per square foot for a basic wood deck, while composite decking can cost between $30 to $50 per square foot. It's recommended to get estimates from local contractors to get a more accurate cost estimate for your specific project.
