Our take: A good choice for a deck with a pergola, or when the deck is part of a larger renovation. A 5.0 across more than 35 reviews is a clean record.

How the numbers are built

Rating is each business’s current Google star average. Review volume is how many people have rated it, and confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency reflects how lately new reviews have appeared.

What changes the cost of a deck in Salt Lake City

Deck quotes depend on size, the decking material, the height off the ground, railings, stairs and how hard the site is to reach. Composite and wood price very differently, and a permit may be part of the job. Ask for a written scope that separates demolition, framing, decking and railings.

Who builds where

Cottonwood Custom lists Cottonwood Heights, Park City and Salt Lake City on its site. CFC Fences & Decks is in South Salt Lake, Warrior Deck Builder in Murray, and Salt Lake Deck Builders in Salt Lake City. Each listing carries a phone number and directions.

Questions for a deck builder

  • Which decking material do you recommend, and what does the warranty cover?
  • Will you pull the permit, and who handles inspections?
  • How are footings and framing designed for my site?
  • Who is my day-to-day contact, and what is the schedule for each phase?
  • What is the process if the design changes mid-build?
