CEDAR DECKING PRICES

Understanding our Pricing: We price cedar decking by the square foot. Give us a call to speak with one of our wood decking experts about price per square foot. If you know your approximate square footage, our wood decking experts can multiply it by the price per square foot so that you have a better idea of what your cedar decking will cost you. Price per square foot changes based on quantity or volume ordered. The finish price may include your cedar decking plus one coat factory stained or primed.


We give “ballpark” prices to help you plan your project. Due to global uncertainty we are unable to guarantee those prices because prices may fluctuate. Price is only locked in once you've placed your order.
Please call 877-960-9663 or email sales@buffalolumber.com for updated pricing on all projects. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

FINISH

PRE-STAINED CEDAR DECKING

A FACTORY FINISH STAIN on your cedar deck boards ensures a lasting, higher quality job than traditional "on site" stain applications. Factory staining costs about half the amount of field staining. Pre-staining your cedar decking eliminates the problems of lap marks, shrinklines, streaking, color variation, and job site dirt pick-up.

Pre-staining your cedar decking eliminates the problems of lap marks, shrinklines, streaking, color variation, and job site dirt pick-up.

All four sides of the cedar board, are completely sealed, ensuring total protection. Controlled temperature and humidity levels stabilize any moisture in the wood. The finished siding arrives at the job site totally protected from exposure to water and sunlight. Western Wood Products Association and the California Redwood Association recommend pre-finishing all wood decking including cedar!

The biggest and most frequent mistake we see people make is thinking they can just tack cedar siding up and stain the face to save money. This is the Worst Thing you can Possibly do with Wood Siding!

The problem is water. Water gets behind the wood and causes problems. By the time you realize there is a problem the cost to repair it is in the thousands or tens of thousands.

99% of all reported siding failures are installation related. That puts a pretty big onus on preparation. Doing the job exactly the right way is worth its weight in gold when you consider that anything that goes wrong costs multiple thousands of dollars to address.

8 hours a day, 5 days a week we get calls about wood siding and the number 1 reported reason we get called is the wood siding on the house now is failing because it was not sealed on the back.

The average cost for one of our customers to repair cedar siding is well over $5000. We have a $2500 order minimum + they have labor.

Life teaches 1 rule: It costs 10 TIMES MORE to fix something that goes wrong than it would to do the job the exact right way in the first place.

Why put your building and your wallet at risk?

Be Certain - factory finish!

All pre-finished prices include one coat Stained Cabot's, Sherwin Williams or Olympic standard color lines.

Cedar Decking Coverage

Nominal Width Actual Width LFT factor
6" 5 1/2" 2.1

Cedar Decking is sold by the linear (or lineal) foot. Your quantity requirements are calculated by multiplying the square foot area by the actual dressed (not nominal) board width while allowing for proper spacing between boards using a 1/4" spacer strip (or a 16 penny nail as we did when I was growing up ;-)

For example: If you are building a 20 foot wide by 40 feet long outdoor deck with 2x6" cedar decking, you would need approximately 1680 linear feet for your deck: 20 by 40 = 800 sqft * 2.1 factor. Be sure to include in an extra 10% for trim.
