Is $30,000 to build a Trex deck with picture framing a fair price?
Project Details
I am having a Trex deck built in my backyard. Initially, the installers used grooved boards for the picture frame and step boards, which my father-in-law noticed, and they were subsequently replaced with bullnose boards. While replacing the step boards, I observed cracks along the edges of some boards, and one stair board is not aligned with the others. I communicated these issues to the main contractor and salesperson after an unsuccessful attempt with the subcontractor. Despite being told the problems would be addressed, no action has been taken. I am spending around $30,000 on this project and am becoming increasingly frustrated, as I expect the job to be done correctly.
