Is there a price difference if we opt to exclude stairs on a deck?

Yes, excluding stairs from your deck design will typically lower the overall project cost. Building deck stairs usually costs between $15 to $35 per step, depending on materials and labor, so omitting them can lead to significant savings.

However, keep in mind:

• Accessibility to and from the deck will be limited without stairs.
• Local building codes may require stairs for decks above a certain height, so always check compliance.
• A deck without stairs may be less appealing to potential future buyers, which could affect resale value.
