The Best Materials
Thanks Birmingham
Birmingham
Scott built us a deck off the back of the house and I’m honestly mad we didn’t do this sooner. dude knows his stuff and doesn’t cut corners. I watched his crew work a couple days and they were careful with everything…
Birmingham
We called Scott, and he gave us some great ideas right away. Easy to understand the estimate, showed up on time, and great work.
Mountain Brook
Our lot sits on a hill and two other companies told us a deck would be too complicated. We are in Mountain Beook. Scott came, walked the slope, and built us a multi-level deck that fits the yard perfectly…
Pelham
Scott was our 3rd estimate for a new deck and fence. We hired him on the spot, even before we saw the estimate. He’s the real deal.
Vestavia Hills
We needed a privacy fence so we could build our kids a the backyard pool. Birmingham Deck & Fence had the estimate to us and started the job quickly. Solid wood fence, level posts, clean work…
Helena
They were halfway done with the job before lunch. Everything turned out great and we gave Scott’s number to all our neighbors.
Homewood
Our old deck was too small for the whole family. Scott designed a new deck big enough for everyone including the dogs. Very happy.
Hoover
We’re eating outside most nights after getting the new deck installed. Scott came up with some great ideas, and we love the results.
Trussville
Our fence had seen better days. The new fence looks so much better and now we’re saving up for a new deck. Scott is great.
Chelsea
Scott’s estimate wasn’t the cheapest but we knew he was the right choice. The stain he recommended looks incredible. Would recommend.

Did you know?
The word “Deck” came from a ship. The outdoor deck you relax on every summer didn’t start in anyone’s backyard. The word comes directly from the Dutch “dek,” meaning the covering planks of a ship.
Common Deck & Fence Questions in Birmingham
You ask.
We answer.
Deck costs in Birmingham typically run $25-35 per square foot for pressure-treated wood and $45-70 per square foot for composite materials like Trex or TimberTech. Fence installation ranges from $20-35 per linear foot for wood privacy fencing up to $40-60 per linear foot for ornamental aluminum. The final price depends on lot size, terrain, and material choice.
Look for a contractor who is licensed and insured in Alabama, carries their own equipment, and has a verifiable track record in the area. Ask whether they offer a satisfaction guarantee and how quickly they respond to estimate requests. Birmingham Deck & Fence has been in construction since 1985 and responds to new inquiries the next business day.
Red clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, which puts significant lateral pressure on fence posts through Alabama’s seasonal wet-dry cycles. Posts must be set deeper here than in sandy or loamy soils to prevent leaning and premature failure. This is especially important in neighborhoods like Forest Park and Highland Park where lots are graded and drainage varies.
Birmingham Deck & Fence provides free estimates and commits to a next-day response on all new inquiry submissions. You can reach out through birminghamdeckandfence.com and expect to hear back within one business day. Estimates are available for decks, fences, porches, and all related outdoor structure work across the Birmingham metro area.
Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront at $25-35 per square foot installed, but requires regular sealing and staining to hold up against Birmingham’s 56+ inches of annual rainfall and year-round humidity above 60%. Composite decking runs $45-70 per square foot but resists moisture, fading, and mold without annual maintenance. For homeowners in Mountain Brook or Vestavia Hills who want a low-maintenance outdoor space, composite is often the better long-term investment.
If the structural framing and ledger board are sound, spot repairs costing $300-1,500 can extend a deck’s life significantly. Once the joists or posts show rot from repeated exposure to Birmingham’s humidity and rainfall, a full replacement is usually the smarter financial decision. Birmingham Deck & Fence can assess the condition of your existing structure during a free estimate visit.
Neighborhoods like Redmont Park, Highland Park, and Mountain Brook frequently require elevated or multi-level deck designs because of sloped lots. Elevated decks need more structural framing and longer posts, which adds to both material and labor costs compared to a flat-grade installation. The final cost per square foot can increase by 20-40% on steep sites depending on how much framing is required.
Widespread post rot at ground level, multiple sections leaning due to soil movement, and boards that are splitting or warping beyond cosmetic repair are all indicators that replacement makes more economic sense than patching. Birmingham’s wet summers and clay soil accelerate post decay faster than in drier climates. If more than 30% of your fence shows structural damage, a full replacement typically costs less over time than repeated repairs.
The April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak sent an EF4 tornado on an 80-mile path from Tuscaloosa through Birmingham, killing 20 people and causing $2.4 billion in damage across Jefferson County. Thousands of fences and outdoor structures were destroyed or heavily damaged in neighborhoods across the city. Birmingham Deck & Fence still encounters post-storm repair and replacement requests tracing back to that event, and it shapes how the company thinks about anchoring and framing standards today.
