Source: Remodeling magazine / Zonda, 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, national averages. The report doesn't publish a Springfield-specific figure, so treat this as a starting point; local labor costs differ. Per-sq-ft is our arithmetic (cost ÷ 320 sq ft). Not a quote.
Wood or composite?
Most quotes come down to the decking material. The frame underneath is usually pressure-treated lumber either way.
Pressure-treated wood
Lowest up-front cost. Needs cleaning and re-staining every few years.
Composite / PVC
Costs more up front, no staining, and recouped more at resale in the latest Cost vs. Value report.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a deck cost in Springfield, MO?
There's no official local price list. The 2025 Cost vs. Value report's national average for a 16×20 ft deck is about $18,300 in pressure-treated wood and about $25,100 in composite. Local prices can be higher or lower; get at least 2–3 written quotes.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Springfield?
Often. Springfield's 'When a Permit is Required' sheet lists decks more than 30 inches above grade, decks over a basement or story below, and decks that are part of an accessible route. Confirm with Building Development Services; nearby cities set their own rules.
How deep do deck footings need to be?
Springfield's local amendments to the 2018 IRC list a 24-inch frost line depth. Nearby cities may differ, so ask your building office before you dig.
Is composite worth it over pressure-treated wood?
Composite costs more up front (about $6,800 more on the 2025 national benchmark deck) but doesn't need staining or sealing. Wood is cheaper but needs regular cleaning and re-sealing, especially with Ozarks humidity and termite pressure.

How do I check a deck contractor is legit?
