John frowns in thought. “Hmm. What does a deck cost per square foot? Then we’ll need to know deck repair costs and, at worst, deck rebuilding costs.”
Heather smiles and rolls her eyes. “Yeah, and we’ll want to know deck stairs cost if we get a deck off the ground. Let’s go ahead and look all this up. It’s obviously one of the most important questions to you.”
John smiles gratefully. “I’m glad you said that. I’m not trying to price shop because that’ll just leave us unsatisfied. I just want to know so we can figure out if we can buy or need to budget first. Or maybe look at patio costs instead if decks aren’t what we end up wanting.”
Heather shows John her phone. “Already done. Here’s what I found on deck building costs for our area.”
