How much is an Under-Deck
Ceiling System?
(Free Estimator Tool At The Bottom)
Our under-deck ceiling systems create a completely dry, finished space beneath elevated decks by capturing and diverting water away from the area below. Unlike vinyl or aluminum products, our system is constructed from heavy-gauge, hot-dipped galvanized steel and attaches to a perimeter board rather than directly to the joists, allowing it to free-span the space. This creates a clean, flat ceiling appearance while protecting the structural integrity of the deck. The end result is a fully functional and aesthetically finished ceiling that transforms unusable space into valuable outdoor living area.

Ballpark Pricing:
Typically ranges from $30–$60 per square foot, including all materials, labor, and professional installation.
​
For reference:
A 10’ x 10’ deck (100 sq. ft.) would generally fall between $3,000–$6,000 depending on scope and finishes.
​
Factors that Affect Pricing:
-
Size and layout of the deck
-
Overall deck height and accessibility
-
Complexity of drainage design and water diversion
-
Number of penetrations (posts, fireplaces, structural elements)
-
Color and finish selection
-
Smooth ceiling vs. beadboard finish options
-
Integration of lighting, fans, or electrical
-
Fascia, post wraps, and trim details
-
Structural conditions of the deck framing
-
Project location and travel distance
​
Why the Range Exists:
This pricing range accounts for variables that are often undetermined early in the design process, such as:
-
Finish and color selections
-
Accessories like integrated lighting or fans
-
Finishing details including paint, stain, fascia, and post wraps
-
Overall deck complexity and layout
-
Drainage routing and site conditions
Long-Term Value:
This is not a basic “under-deck product.” It is a fully engineered, steel-based waterproof ceiling system designed for real Midwest conditions. It free-spans the space, does not rely on joist attachment, and is engineered to support up to 6 inches of ice across the entire system. Backed by a lifetime warranty, it will never rot, sag, or need replacement like vinyl or aluminum alternatives.
​
The result is a permanent, structurally sound, and visually finished ceiling that elevates both the function and value of the home with one complete system.
