Is $30,000 to build a 14x30 Trex deck with Signature black aluminum railing a fair price?

Project Details

I am in Northern Virginia and the home is a new construction still to be built. The initial quote was nearly $60,000, but after some negotiations, this is the current price. This will be done via a landscaping company from the builders, allowing me to roll this into my mortgage. It will include a one-year builder warranty in addition to any warranty from Trex. I can't get more quotes since the home isn't finished or closed yet.

Quote Details

This quote is for building a 14x30 elevated deck on the rear of the home. - Decking Material: Composite Trex Transcends Decking (TBD color/style)- Railing: Trex Signature black aluminum railing- Posts: Sleeved in white PVC- Fascia: Wrapped in white vinyl- Post and Beam Placement: Located to the outer deck edge, leaving room for exterior gutter and downspouts- Framing: Framed for possible future fixed screen installation under deck
