The 5-day reminder for a deck rebuild estimate
Day 5 is the second reminder. Assume they are busy. Do not add a discount or a deadline you do not mean.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
What changed since day 2
Nothing in the bid should change in this email. Footings and the ledger are the structure. A resurface over a soft frame is the cheaper bid and the wrong one. Deck bids wait on footing inspections and on a composite color that has to be chosen before the order.
Calendar or scope
The inspector's footing visit sets the frame week. Boards come after that, not before the holes are signed off. Railing style and a spouse's color choice are the usual holdup after the structure is agreed. Do not screw new boards onto joists that are already soft.

Checking in on the deck rebuild estimate
Hi Brian, Checking in on the deck rebuild estimate for $11,800. I am not changing the number. It still includes new footings, a ledger flashed to the house, and composite boards on the same footprint. If the holdup is the calendar, tell me which week is real. Are we keeping this footprint, or do you want a stair move priced? Thanks, Laura Peck Peck Decks
