Is $2,700 to restain and replace a deck board a fair price?
Project Details
I’m a newer home owner and this is the first time I’m needing my deck re-stained before the winter. I truly don’t know how much any of this should cost, but it feels a little high. I'm wondering if I should expect similar quotes from other handyman/contractors. I live in the Midwest, in a rich county, but I am not rich.
