Is $4,400 to refurbish and repair 30 year old ipe wood deck a fair price?
Project Details
The project involved refurbishing a 30-year-old IPE wood deck that hadn't been oiled in 15 years. The deck had structural issues including wood rot on joists and cantilevered beams, lack of hurricane ties, and unsupported ledger boards. The contractor used a custom drilling jig to fix previous fastening errors and applied a hidden plug system for top-screwed boards.
