Is $69,763 to build a new deck (Good option) a fair price?

Project Details

I received this estimate for a 750 sqft deck. It was right around the time when the China tariffs were happening, so I don’t know if that impacted this price or not. It feels high, but I really don’t have another comparison yet. This isn’t even with any skirting, lighting, etc. I have no idea how to build a deck, so I guess I’m screwed.
