Decks · How long
Say how long a deck rebuild takes
People go quiet when they cannot picture the disruption. Say what the days look like. Do not promise a start date you do not have.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The real schedule
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.
What the price is not
The $11,800 includes new footings, a ledger flashed to the house, and composite boards on the same footprint. It does not include a roof over the deck, and skirting. Do not screw new boards onto joists that are already soft.
