Question 1

How much does a deck cost in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Pressure-treated decks typically run $45–$70 per square foot; composite $75–$110. Raised walkout decks trend toward the upper ranges because of height, stairs, and railing requirements — a typical 12×16 walkout deck lands around $14,000–$28,000 depending on material. Estimates are free with fixed pricing for both options.

Question 2

Do I need a permit for a deck in Burlington?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes for attached decks and anything more than 24 inches above grade — which includes nearly every walkout deck. We prepare drawings and submit the City of Burlington permit application as part of the job.

Question 3

My yard slopes toward the escarpment — can you still build?

Accepted Answer

Yes — slopes are where good deck design shines. Multi-level layouts step down with the grade, keep every level code-compliant, and often cost less than the retaining walls you'd need to flatten the same space. We design to the lot you have.

Question 4

How long does a deck build take?

Accepted Answer

Once permits are in hand, most Burlington decks take 3–7 working days on site; larger multi-level builds run 1–2 weeks. Being based in Burlington means no travel-day padding in the schedule — the crew shows up and the job moves.
