You’ve Googled it, seen vague answers, and now you’re wondering if that dream grilling spot will wipe out your savings. How much does it cost to build a deck in Meridian or Nampa?
Typical deck cost in the Boise area is between $4,657 and $12,356, depending on size, materials, design, and property location. The average is around $8,506. Some builds go as low as $3,000—while high-end, second-story, custom decks can reach $20,000+.
Deck costs vary widely—here’s the real story behind Boise deck pricing.

Composite decking is a contractor’s first choice. It won’t fade, stain, or splinter.
Your decking material affects daily comfort and long-term maintenance in Idaho’s 100° summers and snowy winters. One standout: Armadillo composite—fade- and moisture-resistant, cap-protected—no sanding, staining, or sealing required.
$25–$54 installed (typical composite deck cost )
premium redwood up to $35/sq ft.
Permits, site access, and zoning can impact price. If your deck needs tricky access or extra prep, expect a higher cost to build a deck.
Keep these in mind:
These details make your deck feel like home—and they all affect budget:
Stairs add structure, labor, and rails—so they meaningfully affect overall deck cost.
PRO TIP: A filled hot tub weighs as much as a car. Avoid collapse by placing it on a concrete pad and planning the deck around it (or recess it with proper structure).
