Customers typically pay this range, from the sources below, so you can sanity check your total.
Sample prices, not a quote. Customers typically pay $859 to $3,321 for deck repair, average $2,019, and $500 to $3,000 on another guide, average $1,500 to resurface about 300 sq ft. The $1,200 sample is a section of boards, about 80 feet, with the joists left in place. It sits inside both repair bands. It is not a full resurface, which is why it is under those averages. Soft joists or a ledger rebuild is a different estimate.
What the estimate assumes
- About 80 feet of board is replaced. The joists are solid.
- This is not a full resurface and not a new deck.
- Hidden fasteners and joist tape go on the bays you open.
- Railings, stairs, and the ledger structure stay.
Frequently asked questions.
How do carpenters price deck board replacement?
Price the boards by the foot, the fasteners, joist tape, haul-away, and the hours to pull and fasten. Published deck repairs run about $859 to $3,321 and about $500 to $3,000. This sample is $1,200 for a section, not a full resurface.
What should a deck board estimate include?
The footage, whether joists are included, who hauls the old boards, and that railings are out. This sample keeps the joists and replaces boards only.
How long does a section of boards take?
The sample uses 8 hours for about 80 feet when the joists are sound. Sistering joists or rebuilding a ledger is extra days.
Should joist repair be on this estimate?
Not until you see the wood. Leave a note that soft joists change the price. This sample says the joists are solid so the total stays a board job.
