Is $28,750 to replace side deck and stairs a fair price?
Project Details
We have a deck that wraps around 3/4 of our house. The side deck is uncovered and needs to be replaced. Based on the slope of the property, the deck is anywhere from 1-4 feet off the ground. We also asked him to replace the two-steps off the front of the deck and add railings.
