Is $16,000 to build a 16x20 deck a fair price?
Project Details
I am trying to understand if Trex Cocktail railing is less durable than the standard lower-end Trex railing, and what the downfalls of each might be. I have received quotes that vary significantly for a 16x20 deck in the Midwest, but my primary question is about the railing.
