How much does it cost to have a deck be built by a professional?

The current market price for professional deck installation is approximately twice the cost of materials. Suppose, in a hypothetical situation, the materials for a standard deck cost about $15 per square foot. This means that labour will cost at about $30 per square foot, for a total of at least $45 total square foot of deck. The cost will be greatly affected by a number of factors including, size, height, type of deck boards and even the company hired.
