Is $11,000 to build a deck and staircase a fair price?
Project Details
The builder was a friend of a friend, and I don't really know enough about construction to judge the quality of the work, though it seems pretty solid. I'm concerned about a slight bend in the deck floor and whether it's an issue. I'm also wondering if it's bad that dirt is near the wood, potentially causing rot.
