Understanding Deck Footing Costs

Types of Footings

Deck footings come in two main types: precast and cast-in-place. Precast footings are pre-made and typically cost $150-250 each, while cast-in-place footings are poured on-site and cost $50-100 for materials.

Soil Considerations

Soil type significantly impacts excavation costs. Normal soil allows for simple post-hole diggers ($20-40/hole), while rocky soil may require special equipment ($50-200/hole). Difficult access areas can cost up to $500 per hole.

Labor Costs

Labor costs vary based on complexity and location, ranging from $100-300 per footing. Factors include depth requirements, soil conditions, and local rates.
