Is $7,500 to repair and stabilize the existing deck a fair price?
Project Details
I live in the Midwest and am planning to sell this rental property in September. I am concerned about the quality of the work because the top rail shakes when pushed and screws appear overdriven. I am unsure if a permit was pulled or if it will pass county inspection.
