Fair price for deck
Rebuilding a deck and have questions about rates. The deck is 16’ by 31’ after I added a 6’ extension. It only sits about 1’ off the ground. Below are details.
Demo top boards (all screwed in at every joist and covered filled with deck coating) this took 3 days. Had to cut them out in chunks because the deck coating is like armor!
Cut off about 500 screws flush.
Remove railings and cut off old posts flush
Sink new posts for new railings in concrete 24” deep. (I live in South with literally no frost line)
Approx 80 new 5/4 deck board installed using about 50# of screws
New stairs 10’ wide 5 stringers
New railings with aluminum spindles
It’s taken about 85 man hours to complete this and almost $3000 in materials.
What is a fair price to charge for this build/ repair?
