        "text": "The cost of a deck expansion is primarily influenced by the size of the addition, the materials chosen (e.g., pressure-treated wood, composite, exotic hardwoods), and the complexity of the design, such as multi-level additions or intricate railing systems. Other factors include the condition of the existing deck, accessibility of the work area, and the need for new foundation work. Opting for higher-end composite materials, for instance, can increase initial costs but may reduce long-term maintenance expenses.",
