Second story deck rebuild *update* [View all]
So far I have 3 bids in from contractors.
This is the deck:
120 sq ft (10x12)
Brown pressure treated subfloor and posts
Simpson connectors
Trex "Transcend" deck material
42" rail with privacy spacing and 18" of lattice on top (60" total).
No paint.
Quotes are coming in at $6,000 to $8,000.
I rough calculated the cost of materials and they are $1,500 to $2,000.
If I pay my builder friend and I help him I think I can save a bundle.
I am a bit surprised at these quotes for a basic second story deck. Do they seem high?
