I'm located in San Jose, CA. and have several questions on deck renovation
project.

My deck is pretty old wooden construction and I'm planning to replace it
completely including the frame. Probably will do composite for the surface
and redwood frame. Deck is about 1000 sq.ft and is elevated about 1ft
above the ground, no stairs, just couple of steps to the backyard.
What is the typical cost of deck replacement labor?
Which composite material would you recommend? I'm thinking of Monarch
Exotic Tigerwood, which I found from local dealer for $2.85/ln.ft

Would really appreciate good advices and approximate estimates.
Thanks.


Labor is always a local issue regarding cost and availability of that labor
at any given time.

Folks at alt.building.construction newsgroup can probably help on material
selection. They will ask for more details than you've provided here.
