How to read the quantities
Twenty replacement boards at a $28 material allowance total $560. Fitting and installation at $24 per board add $480; the combined board replacement lines are $1,040 before removal and other work.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Visible surface damage may not describe the condition underneath. The example assumes the supporting structure has already been found suitable. If that has not been established, explain what must be checked before confirming the repair scope.
Outside this scope: No new footings, structural reconstruction, full railing replacement, staining or certification of existing structural adequacy.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Can a deck repair quote cover hidden structural damage?
Only when that work has been assessed and scoped. A surface-repair example should explicitly distinguish its included work from unknown or structural repairs.
Should staining be in a board-replacement estimate?
Include it only when agreed. Explain whether new boards are left unfinished, locally coated or part of a separately priced full refinishing scope.
