Is $10,000 to replace a 6'x10' deck a fair price?
Project Details
My wife and I want to rebuild our 6'x10' deck as is. I haven't done an undertaking like this before and feel overwhelmed. I am unsure if the ledger board needs replacement and noticed the original construction was poor, with stair supports just resting on the ground. I currently have it covered with carpet to stop my puppy from eating paint chips.
