Decks · Same day
What to write the day you send a deck rebuild estimate
A same-day note is optional. It is not one of the three scheduled follow-ups. Use it when you are not sure the deck rebuild estimate for $11,800 arrived, or when one point from the visit is easy to forget.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Skip it if you already talked it through
If you handed over the paper and walked the job, another email that night is noise. Deck bids wait on footing inspections and on a composite color that has to be chosen before the order.
What the recap should say
Name what the price includes: new footings, a ledger flashed to the house, and composite boards on the same footprint. Name what it leaves out: a roof over the deck, and skirting. Are we keeping this footprint, or do you want a stair move priced? Do not screw new boards onto joists that are already soft.

Your deck rebuild estimate from Peck Decks
Hi Brian, I sent the deck rebuild estimate for $11,800 earlier today. It 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. Are we keeping this footprint, or do you want a stair move priced? Thanks, Laura Peck Peck Decks
