Deck software that pays for itself in one deck

deckpro.studio is deck design, estimating, and proposal software for deck builders: a free 3D deck designer homeowners can use themselves, an instant material order sheet (takeoff), and a branded proposal — in one studio. A contractor shares a designer link, the homeowner designs their deck in 3D, and the builder gets a ready-to-quote project.

deckpro.studio is built and operated by Onda Labs LLC, a United States software company. It is not a decking manufacturer, a dealer, or affiliated with any decking brand — which is why the designer carries multiple manufacturers’ catalogs and why a homeowner’s design goes to the contractor whose link they used, not to a brand’s installer network. Company details are at deckpro.studio/about.

deckpro.studio runs in any modern web browser and installs to a phone or tablet home screen as a progressive web app. There is no separate native download on the Apple App Store or Google Play, and no part of deckpro.studio is sold as a one-time paid app — the homeowner 3D deck designer is free, and contractor plans are subscriptions.

Yes — the 3D deck designer is free to use with no signup. You can size a deck, choose from 30+ real composite decking colors, and add railings and stairs in your browser, then send the finished design to a contractor, who prices it and sends you the quote.

Yes. The designer is built for homeowners: drag to resize, pick real composite decking colors, add railings and stairs, and see the deck in 3D from every angle. When it looks right, send it to a contractor for a real quote — the design carries the shape, colors, railings, and stairs you chose, so the number you get back is for the deck you actually drew.

Yes. Every design produces an instant bill of materials — deck boards, joists, beams, posts, footings, railing, stairs, and hardware — with quantities and pricing you can edit, add custom line items to, and export to CSV. The framing quantities come from the sized structure, not from a square-foot rule of thumb, so the order sheet matches the deck on screen.

Yes. Any project exports a numbered blueprint sheet set: a cover with the sheet index, a framing plan with member callouts and dimensions, a foundation plan with the post and footing layout and a footing schedule, an elevation, a part-numbered materials schedule keyed to the plans, and a general-notes sheet carrying the code basis. Each view is drawn to a standard architectural scale so the printed scale bar measures true.

Spans, beam sizes, post heights, footing sizes, and ledger fastener spacing are screened against the AWC DCA 6-2015 tables — the Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide based on the 2015 International Residential Code — at 40 psf live plus 10 psf dead load, No. 2 grade, wet service. That is a code screen, not stamped engineering: local codes and amendments vary, and your Authority Having Jurisdiction and a licensed design professional govern.

It reads the DCA 6-2015 span tables rather than guessing. A 2x10 joist at 16" on center spans up to 14'-0" in Southern Pine and 13'-7" in Douglas Fir-Larch, Hem-Fir, or Spruce-Pine-Fir, so the engine picks the smallest member that actually carries the span you drew. Where a deck runs past the edge of the prescriptive tables — an interior beam line, a joist over 18'-0", a post taller than Table 4 allows for its footing — it says so instead of returning a number.

Under the IRC, deck stair risers may be no taller than 7-3/4", treads must be at least 10" deep, and the difference between the tallest and shortest riser in a flight may not exceed 3/8". That last one — riser uniformity — fails more real stair inspections than anything else, and deckpro.studio checks every flight it lays out against it.

A guard is required once the walking surface is more than 30" above grade, and the IRC residential minimum guard height is 36". Some jurisdictions require 42" on taller decks, so deckpro.studio flags that for you to confirm with your building department rather than deciding it for them.

The designer carries multi-brand decking catalogs — Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon, Deckorators, MoistureShield, plus dimensional wood species — using each manufacturer’s real collection and color names, so you can price and show the same deck in whatever product line the job calls for. deckpro.studio is independent of all of them; it does not sell decking.

Yes. deckpro.studio turns any design into a branded PDF proposal — your logo, your pricing, the 3D deck, and the full scope — and tells you when the client opens it. The numbers come straight from the design’s takeoff, so the quote always matches the deck.

Solo Builder covers 1 user · 3 active projects. Pro Builder covers 3 users · +$79/seat · unlimited projects, and Company covers 10 users · +$99/seat · unlimited projects — you invite your crew by email and each teammate gets their own login. Enterprise is unlimited users.

deckpro.studio combines a homeowner-facing 3D deck designer, an automatic framing-inclusive material takeoff sized against the DCA 6-2015 prescriptive tables, and branded proposals in a single tool — turning a website visit into a priced, signable project before the builder leaves the driveway.

Deck design software earns its keep for a contractor by doing three jobs: a 3D designer a homeowner can actually use, an accurate material takeoff, and a proposal you can send the same day. deckpro.studio is built around exactly those three — design, order sheet, and branded proposal in one place — with a 14-day pilot so you can judge it on a real deck.

The Trex Deck Designer is a free tool for homeowners shopping Trex decking: it gives you a 3D view, a shopping list of Trex materials, a plan to take to the permit office, and an estimated cost. It is not a contractor’s business tool — the materials are one manufacturer’s catalog, the estimate is not your costs and markup, there are no branded proposals under your name, and a homeowner’s design does not land in your pipeline. deckpro.studio designs across multiple decking brands and wood, sizes the framing against DCA 6-2015, produces a full takeoff and blueprint set, and gives you your own designer link so the lead is yours.

deckpro.studio’s 3D deck designer is free for homeowners — no signup. Contractor plans are Solo Builder at $249/month, Pro Builder at $599/month, and Company at $1,999/month — every plan starts with a 14-day pilot, and paying annually gets you 2 months free.
