I'm looking to replace my front porch in Winnipeg with an uncovered deck,, about 23 ft by 6 ft. What would be an approximate cost?
Hi from $3500.- $6000.depending on what you want
Hello Mike,
There is a few veriables to cost your job property, the main question is if you wish to have a simple wood deck or full maintenance free.
Main things to consider for price are:
- Remove and dispose of the existing porch.
- Will new pilings / footings be required.
- New deck structural frame should be all pressure treated materials However the deck surface can be all weather wood OR maintenance free surface like composite deck deck board materials or solid vinyl decking membrane.
- Railings, either wood / composite material or alminum are your choices.
- Stairs, depending how many steps and how wide and again maintenance free or not.
Pricing:
100% wood deck with rails and steps
$4,500 to $6,000
100% maintenance free, $ 6,000 to $8,500
If you are looking for maintenance free be sure to find a contractor experienced with the products suitable for your climate.
Get a minimum of three quotes, a job this size should not require a deposit, never give a deposit with out seeing a prepaid contractor s licence from the contractor or only pay a deposit / progress payment once materials are delivered to the job site.
Thank you,

Hi Mike,
I was going to make a comment but Paul hit it out of the park. The main factors, that he listed, that will cause the largest variances in price. Best of luck with the project.
We work out of Calgary so there may be some differences in material and labour costs but think I can shed some light here.
Deck pricing can vary greatly depending on numerous factors, the most important being material choices and design features (stairs, curves, multiple levels, railings).
But for the sake of giving you a basic starting point, my pressure treated decks start at about 22$/sqft and go up from there. So if your project is extremely uncomplicated plan for a budget of (23*6*22)=3036.
Just to be clear this is a starting point. Any reputable deck contractor will give you a free estimate that's more accurately based on your market, site conditions, and design choices.
