Quite understandably, the primary roadblock to taking the grand leap into a deck build or upgrade relates to budget. In our experience however, the resistance is not the actual expense, so much as the uncertainty. Fear of sticker-shock, or of being laughed right out of the showroom by one’s cost and timeline expectations can deter even the most eager outdoor entertainer. The process is intimidating, so simply having a ballpark estimate of the financial and time investment relieves much of the initial anxiety.
In the interest of transparency, we have detailed below a couple of sample packages, and what your new leisure experience might run you.
