Ballpark price on extending a deck

[wallymom]

We're not ready to pull the trigger anytime soon, but am curious about a ballpark cost to extend an outside deck...our current deck is long, but not very deep and we'd like to make more of our outside living space. We'd probably be looking at adding a 20'x15' deck onto our existing one; probably a couple steps down to the new deck.

Again, just looking for a ballpark because I currently have no idea what the cost on something like this would be. THANKS!

Fyi - your going to get numbers that are all over the place right now, mainly due to the current market. I would simply urge you to be cautious in your inquiry. Try and find a friend that has had a good experience with a contractor. Going off the cuff right now could lead to frustrations and problems. Be careful, but go for it.

Good advice! Thanks! Would you suggest now would be a good time to do it as far as getting a better price (given that a lot of people might be looking for work)???

Call a licensed contractor and have him come out to look at your job. When he/she gets to your home ask them to lift their shirt, exposing their stomach.

If there are no ribs showing, you may want to wait awhile for your project. If there are sufficient signs of hunger, then now's probably a good time to start. If they have their children with them, have a look at their clothing too.

So much for a local economy
