Additional Information for Calculating Deck and Patio Estimates
Our online deck and patio calculator helps estimate the cost of installing wooden decks, Trex composite decks, and patios with stairs and railings. In most cases, the estimate is very close to the final price, with accuracy depending on the correctness of the entered data — such as the deck’s length, width, and height. The calculator is easy to use and will help you calculate both material and labor costs by following the instructions below.
Choose your deck dimensions — Select the length, width, and height of the deck to begin your estimate.
Enter the deck length in feet — The deck length is one of the main factors affecting cost, so measure as accurately as possible.
Enter the deck width in feet — The deck width also significantly affects the total cost and should be measured carefully.
Select the deck height — Choose the deck height in feet, such as 0.5 ft (6"), 0.67 ft (8"), 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, or 4 ft.
Choose deck boards — Select surface materials, including wooden boards (2x6 or 5/4x6) or Trex composite boards in popular colors such as Saddle or Clam Shell.
Choose a deck style — Select from popular deck layouts, including horizontal, vertical, diagonal, pool-side, or free-standing designs.
Consider stairs — If your deck includes stairs, enter the stair length, quantity, and optionally add a railing.
Consider railings — You may add railings by entering the total perimeter length of the railing in feet.
Calculate — Click the “Calculate” button to generate your estimate. If required fields are missing, the system will prompt you to enter the deck length and width.
Download estimate — You can download the calculated estimate as an image once all required fields are completed, including your name, phone number, and full address with ZIP code. After clicking the button, allow approximately 10–50 seconds for the image to generate. If nothing happens, click the “DOWNLOAD ESTIMATE” button again. On iPhone and iPad, you may need to manually save the image to your device.
