Cost for a 10X12 metal deck with
We just received a quote of $8500 for a metal deck (built over the roof of a garden level extension) with a spiral staircase. Is this a fair price? Can anyone recommend another company for another quote? Thanks.

pmmtenement,
I’ve built a lot of steel/Ipe decks around Brownstone Brooklyn that extended to one or both property lines. Ipe has (or had) an MEA #…which is a material acceptance #, based on zero flame spread in 10 minutes. Some of my clients still opted for 3 feet of diamond plate on one or both sides. Most of those decks were filed with the DoB. You can see photos on my website. http://www.urbanexteriors.biz

Does anyone know if ipe counts as non-combustable material and can be used in the 3 ft from adjoining property? I thought I saw something mentioning that – was I mistaken?
Johnny, do you have contact info for Gabriel?
Renomandru- thanks this info is helpful!
Believe I used Gabriel for my deck. Italian chap with heavy accent. Was great. Customer service was fine for me. $6k for 8 by 12 deck with full stair. $3 for the steel work and another $3 for the Ipe (sp) and carpentry. Sketch and Hammer bid was higher.
Price seems reasonable, but given the fact that it is on top of a roof, the structural portion may not need to be as beefy as a traditional deck. Much of the cost is in fabricating the spiral staircase.
You are benefitting from much lower steel prices than a year ago.
For wood decking, I believe you have to be 3′ from adjoining property, which gives metal a distinct advantage (not nearly as flammable).
We are going with aluminum framing and aluminum grating (check out Ohio Gratings or http://www.mcnichols.com). No rust, and water goes through the grating. I think metal can be quite attractive and the maintenance factor should not be overlooked.
A neighbor of mine paid less but it was a few years ago. Ricardo Iron Works in the Slope.
The code states that the structure must be steel and that no combustible material (wood decking) be at least 3′ from the property line. I have a wood deck insert and steel grating on each end which are both covered with wood planters (removable and not built-in to the structure).
Search Sketch and Hammer’s website for a lot of great pics (google it).
