Is $4,900 to replace deck floor with pressure treated wood a fair price?
Project Details
My deck (16 x 22) basically needs the entire floor replaced, in addition to likely a couple of joist replacements. The company said it was not meeting code and needed 2 additional posts in the middle based on the deck width. I'm wondering why the $3k difference between the quotes is so large when the material price difference seems to be only around $1k. I'd like to try doing it myself, but I'm not sure if I have the skills to replace the joists or potentially a ledger board. My biggest issue with pressure treated wood is the frequent staining required. It seems like composite will pay for itself after a few years due to less maintenance.

Replace cedar deck boards with composite and address structural issues
This quote involves the comprehensive replacement of existing cedar deck boards with composite material for a deck approximately 1,000 sq ft in size. The project also includes addressing a significant structural issue concerning a missing beam at the transition point where the deck steps down to a second level. Two distinct approaches were proposed for this structural repair: - Solution 1: Install a new beam along with a row of concrete footings and supporting posts. - Solution 2: Eliminate the stepdown/multi-level design by raising and extending the existing joists, and installing taller posts at the end of the deck.
