What Is a Deck Quote?
A deck quote is a written offer for defined deck work. It ties the design and selected materials to the price and terms.
Use a quote when the deck design and site conditions are clear enough to set the price. Revise it if the customer changes a material or feature.
Use a deck estimate when hidden damage, final selections, or site conditions may still change the cost.
Use a carpenter quote template for broader carpentry work, or the construction quote template when the deck is part of a larger project.
Deck Quote, Estimate, or Invoice?
Choose the document based on how certain the deck design and scope are and whether payment is due.

Define the Deck Before You Price It
Small design and material choices can change the price. Put the important choices in writing before the customer accepts.
State the Size and Layout
State the deck footprint and height. Add the stair location and attachment points.
Name the Materials
Name the framing and decking material. Specify the railing system and finish.
Describe Structural and Site Work
Describe the footings and framing work. List demolition or repairs separately when they affect the price.
Separate Upgrades and Options
Show upgrades outside the base price. This makes lighting, privacy features, and finish options easier to compare.
What to Include in a Deck Quote
Give your customer enough detail to understand the deck design, materials, site work, and price.
- Your business name, contact details, and logo
- Your customer details and the deck job site address
- A quote number, issue date, and valid-until date
- Deck dimensions, layout, height, levels, and intended use when relevant
- Demolition, disposal, footings, posts, beams, joists, ledger, flashing, and framing
- Decking, fasteners, railings, stairs, gates, skirting, lighting, staining, or sealing when included
- Labor, materials, equipment, permits, options, taxes, and the total quoted price
- Schedule, payment terms, exclusions, hidden-condition terms, warranty details when offered, and acceptance
Name the products and features that affect the price. The customer should not have to guess which deck is included.
Deck Quote Accepted? Turn It Into an Invoice
Open the accepted deck quote in Docelf and create the invoice. Docelf brings over the customer and line-item details, so you do not have to enter the deck project again.
Check that the invoice matches the accepted design and approved options. Add the due date and payment instructions, then send it.

Should permits be included in a deck quote?
State whether the permit fee is included. Do the same for drawings, inspections, or engineering. The customer should know who is responsible for each item.
