1.5 New Substructure Details

For a new substructure, we'll make some standard assumptions (e.g., PT Pine, 16" OC joists). More precise details can be refined during an on-site visit.

Preferred Joist Size (if known, affects material cost slightly)?

Will the new frame likely require substantial beams (e.g., for larger spans or higher elevation)? (Adds to cost)

Roughly how many support posts might be needed? (e.g., 6-9 for a typical 12x16 deck)

Preliminary Estimate Breakdown

Subtotal (incl. Margin, before Tax, Range): $0.00 - $0.00

Estimated Sales Tax (on materials, Range): $0.00 - $0.00

Estimated Project Total (Range): $0.00 - $0.00

Disclaimer: This is a preliminary estimate based on the information provided over the phone and pre-set average costs derived from TX Carpentry Pros' research. The range primarily reflects variability in decking material costs. It assumes a standard installation. If resurfacing, it's assumed the existing substructure is in good condition and requires no significant modification unless otherwise noted. For new builds, standard framing practices are assumed. A detailed on-site inspection and finalized quote from TX Carpentry Pros are required for accurate, binding pricing. Prices are subject to change based on current market conditions, specific material choices confirmed during site visit, and unforeseen project complexities. This estimate is typically valid for 15 days.
