Deck Builder Website Cost 2026
TL;DR: Decks have dual revenue streams: high-ticket new builds ($10k–$50k) AND recurring refinishing ($500–$2,000 every 2–3 years). Your website needs both funnels — separate landing pages with separate value props. A real deck builder website costs $2,500–$7,000 to build plus $80–$300/month ongoing; AI-leveraged agencies ship boutique tier for $2,500 + $47/mo.
Key takeaways
- Decks have two distinct revenue streams — new build (high-ticket) + refinish (recurring) need separate landing pages
- Composite vs wood education is the highest-converting content page for new-build buyers
- Annual maintenance programs capture 3–5x lifetime value vs one-time refinish customers
- A converting deck builder site books 15–40 qualified consultations/month mixed across both revenue streams
