Questions deck companies ask
Installed prices run $25 to $50 a square foot for pressure-treated pine, $30 to $47 for cedar and $40 to $80 for composite (price table). Set one rate per material and a minimum that covers small platforms.

The tool prices the footprint by the square foot. Railings and stairs are counted or measured differently, so fold a typical allowance into each material's rate, or add a flat add-on for a set of stairs.
Restaining is a different job with its own page: the deck staining quote tool. A visitor can price both in the same visit if you publish both tools.
From the outline they draw over their backyard. We redo the measurement from that shape at submit time, so the area cannot be typed in smaller.
