A deck remodel can improve outdoor living space, increase property value, and enhance how you enjoy your home year-round.
In the Salem and Willamette Valley area, deck remodeling costs vary depending on size, material selection, structural condition, and whether modifications are being made to the existing framing.
This guide outlines what homeowners commonly invest when upgrading or rebuilding a deck.
Most deck remodeling projects in the Salem area typically range between $12,000 and $35,000+, depending on size, materials, and structural requirements.
Smaller resurfacing projects may cost less, while full deck rebuilds using premium materials or expanded layouts will increase overall investment.
Below is a general breakdown of what different budget levels include.
Best suited for decks with structurally sound framing.
Projects in this range may include:
• Replacing deck boards
• Updating railings
• Minor framing repairs
• Stair tread replacement
• Hardware upgrades
This option improves appearance and safety without rebuilding the entire structure.
This is the most common investment range for homeowners upgrading their outdoor space.
Projects in this range often include:
• New pressure-treated or composite decking
• Railing replacement (wood, cable, or metal)
• Stair reconstruction
• Structural reinforcement where needed
• Deck staining or sealing
This level provides a substantial upgrade while maintaining the original footprint.
For homeowners looking to fully rebuild or expand their outdoor living space.
Projects in this range may include:
• Full deck demolition and rebuild
• Expanded footprint
• Composite or premium decking materials
• Cable or metal railing systems
• Covered deck structures
• Integrated lighting
• Multi-level deck design
These projects may require permits depending on scope and structural modifications.
Several factors influence the final investment:
• Deck size (square footage)
• Material selection (wood vs composite)
• Railing system type
• Structural condition of existing framing
• Stair complexity
• Height from ground
• Permit requirements
• Access to the backyard
Composite decking and cable railing systems typically increase material costs compared to standard pressure-treated lumber.
If your framing is structurally sound, resurfacing may be the most cost-effective solution.
If your deck shows signs of structural deterioration or you want to expand the space, a full rebuild may provide better long-term value and safety.
