deck cost for about 20×20 feet? My sister wants a new one. Her old one wasn’t kinda built right and falling apart now. A guy gave her a qoute for eight grand on it that’s only for bulding a new one and we tear the old one down. Three steps.

I wouldn't touch it for less than $19,501.
And that would be strictly adhering to the specifications given in your post.

You're right. It should be more like $19,499.

Shoot, I'd quote them $7999.99, but that would be "plus expenses" (which might be a deal breaker <g>) . . . Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
That's only 20 bucks a square foot.
That would be Home depot bargain basement in my neck of the woods

Blue....yer gonna get hammered with this thread.
There is no way way to even ballpark an estimate for the project you're inquiring about.
First off, your location plays a huge roll.
Secondly....what type of materials are you talking about?
Are you re-using existing footings? Are they adequate?
Far too many variables involved.
8 grand for even the most basic 20 x 20 deck in these parts would be a steal. On the other hand....in your parts, it may be a rip off.
