Is $6.75 per sq. ft. installed for engineered wood high?

Impossible to know without knowing which specific floor you're talking about. A lot of engineered hdwd flooring costs more than $6.75 sq ft, material only, without installation. Also, the type of install matters. Floating, which requires a cushion? Glue down, which requires glue. Eng hdwd is also sometimes nailed or stapled down. I recall that you have a slab so you'll probably be doing a floating floor. With a slab, you'll need a premium cushion w/ vapor barrier. So, you need to consider the cost of the flooring, cost of addt'l supplies like the vapor barrier/ cushion and the labor to install all of it. All things considered, $6.75 a sq ft sounds cheap, maybe too cheap. I would be concerned about the quality of the hardwood you're getting at that price.

Say 16' x 12' deck 5' off grade, with a landing,and hmmmm 4' x 8' stairway. lets put it at 250 sq ft just for grins. x 30 = $7,500 Portico 5/4 composite face fastened ( no clips ) vinyl rail system around deck and down stairway. No skirting,no wrap on the frame posts,flashed corectley into what looks like siding on two sides, ledger installed corectley with flashing,creet piers with steel brackets bolted to them not posts in the ground,joists on 12'' centers with hangers, 3 year warenty on the Frame of the deck.Factory warenty on the decking and rail,that means basicely nothing. General contractor mark up, work done by subs. Not a bad price. J.

thanks everyone for your input....has given me an idea of what I might expect. Would have done this several years ago, but could not find a contractor in the area who was doing remodeling....the new construction was so much more profitable and probably less problematic. Now that construction has slowed, I'm hoping I'll at least get some callbacks! Ron6519-thanks for straightening me out about how the separate structure doesn't save $ and hendricus..sounds like a great job you did - great to have those skills! Thanks all.

OH basic dack with decking and frameing support for a circular cut out in the deck.. OH i guess it's about twice what the deck might be with out the circular cut out in it's interior.. that's why I suggested there are allways things required and a stanard price is never as easy... oh and a stairway,, you hadn't mentioned it before either.. ya got to watch these price concerned folks.. they wnat the basic .. and what makes me cringe is hearing ... OH JUST...and a list of things that change everything easy to more of everything.. there's also site access and ease of bringing stuff in.. the area to work aound where the deck is costructed.. is it in and around a plantd area..there's a thousand things a builder will look at and consier in priceing a deck for you...and a limit of things he'll accept as additions and changes as you see it evolve there.. and it's not a deck at ground level .. but up in the air some 12".. types of support.. anchoring to the ground or floating.. the list is enless of additions to a basic deck.. and oh you didn't talk of finish.. [YET ] But good luck there TOY... BTW ..where is this to be constructed..

got some quotes for a 24x12 deck 48" above ground last week.

treated structuralwith trex decking and railing was 12k to 14k

im most likely going to get a concrete deck done and tile it in slate instead. same price and much less hassle later on
