Is $1,500 to replace wavy trex decking boards a fair price?
Project Details
The homeowner replaced an entire 30-year-old composite deck with Trex two years ago. They are experiencing issues with boards expanding and becoming wavy in direct sun, which the builder attributes to supplier shipping/storage defects. The builder recently added more screws to the vertical boards to mitigate the issue.
Quote Details
- Replace all boards from where the wavy sections start all the way to the house - Address 4-5 boards identified as having storage/shipping defects - Ensure proper spacing for thermal expansion
