Is $6,000 to fully repair carrier beams on a deck a fair price?
Project Details
I have a small deck above a semi-enclosed porch. There is tremendous water damage from a previous owner's mishandling of a gutter issue, which I repaired, but I am now left with the remnants of their bad maintenance. The damage is in the corner. There is no sag to the deck. I'm considering cutting out the damaged section and saddling the replacement section on 1/2 of a 4x4, but I'm unsure if this is a terrible idea. The full repair quoted is just not in my budget right now.
