Thank You – Next Steps for Your Deck Project
Thanks for reaching out to C-JAM Construction!
We’ve received your request and will give you a call within 24 hours to discuss your project.
In the meantime, a few things below will help you start thinking through your deck so our conversation can be as productive as possible.
Step 1: Think About How You'll Use the Space
Most homeowners start with the idea of “a deck,” but the best decks are designed around how the space will actually be used.
Consider questions like:
• Will the space mainly be used for relaxing or entertaining?
• Do you want room for a dining table?
• Will you have a grill or outdoor kitchen?
• How many people do you want the deck to comfortably hold?
Your answers will help determine the right size and layout.
Step 2: Typical Deck Sizes
Many homeowners underestimate how much space furniture and foot traffic require.
Here are a few common deck sizes to help frame things:
10' x 12'
Great for a small seating area or grill.
12' x 16'
Comfortable space for dining and everyday use.
14' x 20' or larger
Ideal for entertaining or creating multiple zones.
During our call we’ll help determine what size works best for your home and yard.
Step 3: Explore Trex Colors
Most of our projects use Trex composite decking because it offers excellent durability with minimal maintenance.
You can start exploring color options here:

You don’t need to decide yet, but it’s helpful to begin thinking about which tones or color families you prefer.
Step 4: Understanding Deck Investment
A professionally built deck is a major home improvement project and long-term investment.
Final pricing depends on size, height, rail systems, stairs, and site conditions, but most composite decks typically fall somewhere in the range of:
$70 – $90 per square foot
Example ranges:
10' x 12' deck
Typically $8,000 – $12,000
12' x 16' deck
Typically $12,000 – $18,000
14' x 20' deck
Typically $18,000 – $28,000+
We’ll discuss your specific project in more detail during our call.
We specialize in professionally designed composite decks rather than basic builder-grade installations.
