Decks · Waiting on approval
What to send while a deck rebuild waits on approval
Send this when the bid is stuck on another person, a board, or a permit. Ask what they still need from you, then wait.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Who is holding it
Railing style and a spouse's color choice are the usual holdup after the structure is agreed.
What you can hand them
The price is $11,800 and includes new footings, a ledger flashed to the house, and composite boards on the same footprint. Deck bids wait on footing inspections and on a composite color that has to be chosen before the order. Do not screw new boards onto joists that are already soft.

What does the approver need on the deck rebuild?
Hi Brian, If someone else still has to approve the deck rebuild, I can resend the $11,800 estimate in whatever form they need. Tell me what they ask for. I will not keep emailing while you wait on them. Thanks, Laura Peck Peck Decks
