Decks · Timing

Ask when a deck rebuild should happen

The useful question is which week is real. If the work is next season, stop the follow-ups and let them reopen it.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

What the calendar really depends on

The inspector's footing visit sets the frame week. Boards come after that, not before the holes are signed off.

If they need longer

Deck bids wait on footing inspections and on a composite color that has to be chosen before the order. 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.

Timing for the deck rebuild

Hi Brian,

If you want the deck rebuild on the calendar, tell me which week is realistic and I will see if I can hold it. The estimate is $11,800.

If this is a later-season project, say so and I will stop following up until you ask.

Thanks,
