In Allentown, deck costs typically range from $25-$60 per square foot installed, depending on materials and features. A standard 12x16 deck (192 sq ft) costs between $4,800-$11,500.

Yes, Allentown requires permits for decks over 200 square feet or 30 inches above grade. The city's Building Standards & Safety department requires detailed plans showing dimensions, footing locations, and structural details. VM Power Decks handles all permit applications and inspections for our Allentown customers, ensuring compliance with local building codes. Permit costs typically range from $75-$300 depending on deck size.
Most deck installations in Allentown take 3-7 business days, weather permitting. Simple ground-level decks can be completed in 3 days, while complex multi-level designs may take up to 2 weeks. Factors include deck size, site preparation needs, and permit inspection scheduling. We provide detailed timelines during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the project.
For Allentown's four-season climate with hot summers and cold winters, we recommend composite decking like Trex or TimberTech. These materials handle our 95+ annual freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or warping. They also resist fading from summer sun and don't require yearly sealing like wood. Pressure-treated lumber is a budget-friendly option but requires more maintenance in our climate.
The ideal deck building season in Allentown is April through October when weather is most predictable. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer comfortable temperatures for construction crews and faster permit processing. We build year-round, but winter projects may experience weather delays. Book in late winter for spring installation to get the best scheduling options.
