Is $1,700 to replace deck footers and posts with additional minor repairs a fair price?
Project Details
I spent $1700 to have new footers and posts replaced on my deck. I am concerned about the structural integrity because metal brackets are only on one side and one beam is not sitting flush on the post. I just wanted to make the deck safe for another 5 years.

Replace cedar deck boards with composite and address structural issues
This quote involves the comprehensive replacement of existing cedar deck boards with composite material for a deck approximately 1,000 sq ft in size. The project also includes addressing a significant structural issue concerning a missing beam at the transition point where the deck steps down to a second level. Two distinct approaches were proposed for this structural repair: - Solution 1: Install a new beam along with a row of concrete footings and supporting posts. - Solution 2: Eliminate the stepdown/multi-level design by raising and extending the existing joists, and installing taller posts at the end of the deck.
